Huge DEBUG level logs appear despite log settings disabled

Plex Media Server Desktops & Laptops

PMS version: 1.13.4.5271 (macOS)

Experiencing a strange problem that all log files (in ~/Library/Logs/Plex Media Server/) have huge lines of DEBUG logs despite the relevant settings (i.e. Enable Plex Media Server debug/verbose logging) are all turned off.

Log settings were double-checked in the terminal and server was restarted a few times to ensure settings applied.

$ defaults read com.plexapp.plexmediaserver | grep -i Log
    LogVerbose = 0;
    logDebug = 0;
    logTokens = 0;

Here are typical DEBUG messages found in the log files.

I’m seeing this also, just upgraded to 1.13.5.5291 today, not sure if this was normal behavior before.

Also, looks like verbose logging is off…
sudo cat Preferences.xml

Annddd, manually setting LogVerbose=“1” actually turns on verbose logs, but debug ones are still there.
