The application is not working

[stemy2]

Hello,

When i click on "show log", i does nothing but showing a laconic error message saying to look into the log, wich i'm unable to do precisely because the log viewer is not working.

Version: 2.1.7
Kodi: 21.2
OS: LibreELEC

I will need the log file to have a look at.

OK, but how to find the logfile without the log app?
