How to enable plugin debug logs

1. Browse to your Jellyfin config folder
2. Make a backup copy of config/logging.default.json before editing it
3. Open config/logging.default.json with a text editor. The top lines should look something like this:

{
    "Serilog": {
        "MinimumLevel": {
            "Default": "Information",
            "Override": {
                "Microsoft": "Warning",
                "System": "Warning"
            }
        },
        // rest of file ommited for brevity
    }
}

4. Inside the Override section, add a new entry for ConfusedPolarBear and set it to Debug. The modified file should now look like this:

{
    "Serilog": {
        "MinimumLevel": {
            "Default": "Information",
            "Override": {
                "Microsoft": "Warning",
                "System": "Warning",                // be sure to add the trailing comma after "Warning",
                "ConfusedPolarBear": "Debug"        // newly added line
            }
        },
        // rest of file ommited for brevity
    }
}

5. Save the file and restart Jellyfin
