Logging is not fully functional on Android
Description
It seems logging on Android silently drops some messages. I was debugging https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android/-/issues/644 and tried first to look at the logs. But it seems at least messages from the access/ftp.c
module can't make it to the logs, not even msg_Err
.
Expected behavior
All log messages from the code executed appear in the log.
Actual behavior
At least some of the messages are silently dropped.
Steps to reproduce
- Enable verbose logging in
Settings > Advanced
- Go to
Settings > Advanced > Debug logs
. PressStart Logging
. - Go to
Browse
tab, add an FTP server to favourites. - Try to connect.
- Looks at the logs, there will be no messages from
access/ftp.c
Screenshot / video
Screenshot is not really feasible here but there are several logs from different people uploaded in https://code.videolan.org/videolan/vlc-android/-/issues/644
