=== GMP Plugin JS Console Update Logs === | |||
The Firefox JS code that downloads and installs GMP updates from balrog can be made to log to the Browser Console (Ctrl + Shift + J) by setting the pref media.gmp.log.level to 5. | |||
Plugin Update debugging steps for users - | |||
# open the browser console | |||
# visit about:config and enable logging by creating the numeric pref 'media.gmp.log.level' set to 5 | |||
# delete the 'media.gmp-manager.lastCheck' pref completely. | |||
Then restart (the browser console should open back up) and wait a bit. You should get logs related to an openh264 and widevine update check. | |||
