Failed to load associations file...
« on: March 15, 2005, 05:04:48 pm »

A problem I've been having for quite some time was brought up by someone else recently and I was just wondering if any progress has been made on it yet.

It seems to concern video thumbnails.

I open my music library in audio and its set to thumbnail mode, I click on video in Media Types and immediately get the message:

Failed to load associations file. This is a fatal error etc etc and it's bye bye MC.

Reload MC, switch view to details, click on video again and all is fine. Change to thumbnails and it's crash time again.

The error dialog should give more information, like a path to the XML file.

Look there and see what you find.

Thanks for any more details.

Typical!

Just ran MC again to look at the error message and now it's not happening but from experience it doesn't happen all the time anyway. Next time it does happen, what am I looking for in XML file?

If we knew, we'd make it not break ;)

If it happens again, maybe email the XML file to matt @ jriver.com with an explanation of what happened.  Thanks.
