Questions and Bugs / Re: Qmod starts fine the first time, then crash every start

« on: May 27, 2022, 06:40:29 pm »

Hi,

I have a temporary solution.
If you haven't set a different audio folder go to <your qmod folder>/Audio/Music.
Create a new folder, say songs. This represents a format.
If not running start qmod and open the config window.
Select the silence tab.
Select the format player tab.
You should see the format you just created Music/songs.
Drag the format to the right panel. You've now created a format.
Close the config window.
This should solve the problem for now. The fix wil be in the next update.

Regards,
Cor

Hi,
I could reproduce it here and will look into it.

<C:/Users/Cor/GoProjects/src/qmod/qmodcore/core.go:1238>
The C:/Users/Cor folder is on my system. Its part of the compilation and gives me a hint where the error comes from.

Hi,
Welcome to the board.

Qmod crashes for some reason. In the Qmod directory should be a folder called Errorlog. In there you should find a file qmodlog.txt and stacklog.txt.
After a crash in the stacklog.txt file you'll find the reason for the crash. Don't restart qmod but copy the content and post it here so I can check it out and try to reproduce it on my system and compile an update as soon as possible. Thanks.

Regards,
Cor
