1 Enable debug logging
The normal log file doesn't contain debugging information by default. To capture this information to the log you must first enable debug logging:
In MrMC home screen -> Settings -> System -> Logging and turn Enable debug logging
2 Enable the web server
To make it easy to access the log file from another computer on the same network, enable the built-in web server:
In MrMC home screen -> Settings -> System -> Services and turn on Allow Remote control via HTTP
3 Find your IP address
From MrMC's home screen, move over to the "System" tab and then select the lower-menu item called "System information". Note the IP address listed under "General".
4 Restart MrMC
In order to record valuable startup information in the log, please quit MrMC completely and then re-open the program. The easiest method would be to simply restart your device, but for specific details see here.
5 Capture the problem
Once MrMC has started back up, give it a minute to "settle down", as various processes occur on a fresh startup. Then proceed to do whatever it is that triggers the bug or issue you are reporting. For example, if playing back a video causes an issue, play back that video.
6 Download the log

Using the IP address you got from Step 3, go to another computer on the same local network and type in

http://IPADDRESS:8080

Where IPADDRESS is the number you got before. For example, if your IP address was 10.0.0.5 you would to go http://10.0.0.5:8080

Here you can access your current log file.


Old log

If you are asked for the "old log", which is a log from the last time MrMC was running, you can use this address format to access it: http://IPADDRESS:8080/vfs%2Fspecial%3A%2F%2Flogs%2Fmrmc.old.log

7 Posting your log file online
Select and copy the whole log from your web browser. Then go to a paste website such as http://pastebin.com and make a new "paste" by pasting the log and submitting. Note the URL of your new log paste and give that link to whoever asked for your log.
8 Turn off debug logging
In MrMC home screen -> Settings -> System -> Logging and turn off Enable debug logging

Optionally, you can also turn off the web server if you do not use it for other features:

In MrMC home screen -> Settings -> System -> Services and turn off Allow Remote control via HTTP
