I love Audiobookshelf, my main complaint is the Android app crashes when killed by Android (so when I try to open it I get a message about it crashing and then have to reopen it). That might just be a me thing.

Hmm, I've been using Audiobookshelf on my Android phone(s) for at least the last year without issues like that. Are you using the F-droid or Play Store version? I'm using F-droid if that matters.

I've looked and looked and can't find this "log" entry? By global settings, you mean tap the menu at the top right and tap settings?

I mean the global android settings

Android > settings > apps > audiobookshelf > view logs

Also, you can have a look into the server logs, maybe there's a hint. podman logs -f audiobookshelf (or docker)

Hmm. Perhaps. I'm just on stock Android, so I couldn't even test further if I wanted to :( Sorry, mate.
