Spinning Circles - how to dump thread stacks?

[graywolf]

Came across post by Narflex https://forums.sagetv.com/forums/sho...3&postcount=18 talking about a setting to dump thread stacks.

How do you set it? Does it work for V6? What would I look for to help pinpoint my issue?

This is also why there's the setting for dumping the thread stacks if the UI is hung for too long. That allows the log file to contain all the thread states for when that hang is occurring, and *usually* allows pinpointing the problem much better. It can get difficult when it's something in the STV causing it...because the thread states don't reflect API position...but quite often they will signify which API call is causing it and then tracking down all usages of that in the STV can point to the problem.

If anyone wants to start a new thread about that, I'm more than happy to look at thread states to tell you where the spinning circle is coming from...I've done that far too many times before.
