Good morning, I have a couple of curiosities to resolve:
Since the last update made (Version 1.105.1.257-3bc35ab9) I find some files with the same name as the video but with a .log extension in the video library, what are they?
An example:
Alita - Battle Angel (2019) 2160p.mkv
Alita - Battle Angel (2019) 2160p.log
Is it possible to prevent them from being created or is it possible to have them all put in a certain directory together?
When I try to open an XML file from a movie card:
… =\> Information =\> Show XML
I always get the error:
# Uhm… we can’t find this site.
How can I solve it?
What is the path to the directory where the XML files are located?

What’s inside those log files?
I’m not aware of anything Plex does that would create files like that.

It creates the function that creates the markers to skip intro and credits.
