Matt (Huston) we have a problem. Errpr Message ("Failed to load file associations file") as soon as I run Mc, then the program just closes. I cant use MC. Waaaaaa  

[JaWe]

I can't play music, when I click play: "Failed to load file associations file." and then MC crashes..?

[Rizlaw]

Ditto for me too. "Failed To Load Association Files" prevents me from playing anything.

[DJ_Hazelwood]

Same problem. As soon as i try to do anything in mc (play something, change options, ...) i get the same message. System info works:

Yep...getting that here too...

Another bug I noticed.  Before the changes to Media Modes yesterday I went in and changed all the VS in the 'media modes' to ones that were relevant to HS and kept my 'All' section as it was.  With the changes obviously the all section and the media modes are now synched up however HS is still showing the VS that I changed the Media Modes to yesterday.  It is not showing the VS present in the Media Modes...
EDIT: (Although I'm guessing this is a bug this is actually how I would prefer HS to work...it would be great if we could set up view schemes just for HS and view schemes just for MM)

If you have an MC\Data\Default Resources\FileAssociations.xml from an earlier build, overwrite the one from this build and everything will work.

Sorry for the troubles.

[mlefebvre]

Matt,

Can you post that file?

I tried the cut and paste you suggested earlier and it didn't work.

Thanks!

Michel.

Matt, I apologize in advance, but I must be dense. Exactly, what does your post mean? How can you have an earlier build, if you just installed build 17 over 16? Can you spell out the fix a little more clearly, please.

[sraymond]

If you have an MC\Data\FileAssociations.xml from an earlier build, overwrite the one from this build and everything will work.

Sorry for the troubles.

On my system, the FileAssociations.xml file is in the "Data\Default Resources" directory, not the "Data" directory.

[JaWe]

Found "FileAssociations.xml" in "\Media Center\Data\Default Resources"
I deleted that and reinstalled MC, didn't help..

[Matt]

Just wait for another build tomorrow.  I'm going to close and unstick this one now.
