Where do I find the logfiles needed to troubleshoot Jellyfin 10.11.3 (Windows)? - BonBon Rashomon - 2025-12-19

I've been working on setting up my first Jellyfin server, and have some questions that appear to require log files to be provided on these forums. My questions are about unsuccessful viewing of videos (possibly involving transcoding issues); movie detail pages not appearing; and getting "extras" folders to appear within TV show detail pages. Where can I find the log files that could help with these types of issues?

Note that I'm not yet asking for help with the issues I mentioned -- I'll break those out to separate posts when I have the logfiles to present. Also, do I copy and paste the contents of the logs into my original text, or upload them as separate files?

Thanks for your time!

In your dashboard, almost at the bottom you'll find an entry called logs, and there all your current logs are stored. If you select one, e.g. "log_20251219.log" you'll be presented with the option to either copy to clipboard or download the log.

If you'd rather browse your local storage for them, the default location is in [jellyfin install directory]\config\log

I find the CSS code breakdown really helpful, especially the use of different colors and border styles for specific classes. It's interesting how you've detailed each element's properties. Have you explored incorporating these styles with dynamic content on PolyTrack
