#### <a name="general-q19">Q:</a> PlexPy cannot read my Plex log file.
**A:** PlexPy does not require your Plex logs to function. You can add your Plex logs folder to PlexPy in order to use it as a convenient log viewer. If you are installing PlexPy in a docker container or jail, then you will need to mount/share the Plex log folder into the PlexPy container. You must also specify the full path to the Plex logs folder (shortcuts will not work).

#### <a name="ios-q1">Q:</a> PlexPy isn't logging my history from my iOS device!
**A:** Check if your iOS device has any [special characters](https://terpconnect.umd.edu/~zben/Web/CharSet/htmlchars.html) in it's name. This is a know bug with the iOS app ([#212](https://github.com/JonnyWong16/plexpy/issues/212)). This iOS beta app also has a special character (`ß`) in the app name. The only solution is to remove the special character or use the non-beta app.
