I am developing a channel plugin for www.memocast.com. I want to print some debug information, and I see from other code examples that they use a Log statement, like
Log(“This is a log”)
and I assuem that this prints the log text to the Plex log file.
But whenever I try to use it in my code, I always get error. What am I doing wrong?
That should work fine. What’s the error? 
When I add the Log statement, and move the bundle to Plug-ins folder:

When I remove the Log line:

What does the plug-in’s log file say? It sounds like a syntax error - that’s the only thing that would prevent the plug-in starting at all.
Oh, I didn’t know the plug-in had it’s own logfile. It became evident what was wrong once I had a look there. It was simple an indentation error. i have never used python before, so that was a new experience.
Now I got one step further creating the plugin
