Howdy, I was digging around the other day and noticed a large log file. I just had to see why it was so large. It's over 1GB. This is a example of its content. It just repeats, a LOT.

[mov,mp4,m4a,3gp,3g2,mj2 @ 0x55af408794e0] moov atom not found As most know, I watch TV from this thing. I'm almost certain it is being generated by smplayer because I tested to see if it does this with only smplayer running. I use mpv for playing videos etc on my monitor itself but it doesn't do it when mpv is playing. From the log file size, it has been doing this a while but there is no time stamps to go by. However, using tail -f to monitor it, it repeats every second or so. First, I'd like to fix whatever is causing this if I can. It may be the video file itself or it may be smplayer. If it is the video files, it's a lot of them. It's been doing this for days or more. I've played a lot of videos in that time frame. I looked in smplayer and tried disabling logging there, no change. It still adds to that log. Anyone have a clue how to fix this?? Second, if it is not fixable, since these errors aren't preventing videos from playing just fine, how do I stop the errors from going into the log file? While I have a fairly large size /home that this file parks on, it would eventually start hogging up a lot of drive space. I did some searches for the error. It appears to be reported but I don't see a way to fix it. It seems I would have to figure out what video files trigger it and then fix the files one at a time. Given that, the second option may be the best way to deal with this. Thoughts? Ideas? Large hammer??? lol Dale :-) :-)
