Playlist editor fail to start

Post by rahmani »

Hi
For some reasons I used an external drive path for Content, Playlist and KDM directory in Playlist editor preferences. After removing the drive the application could not start:

Can you connect the drive again, then change the setting?


If not - you may find this path in your config file - load it into an editor and change it to some existing path. Carl may implement a more graceful way to deal with missing paths in a future version.

Thanks for the note. I fixed this locally; I can make a Windows build if it would be useful - just let me know.

Thak you for your comments, It works if the external drive reconnected and, also it could be fixed by editing the config file and change the default paths. I think "fail to start" prevention regard to missing path would be useful with a missing path message to the user that could not use saved playlists anymore in that case.
