is there a way to change the verbosity of plex? its flooding my system.log with lots of what looks like debug messages. not that i mind, really, but it does tend to be fairly noisy on my geektool system.log viewer. thanks!

I’m also curious about this - gets quite hard to debug other system issues when 95% of the entries is just plex media server and the plugins outputting stuff.
