Platform from Hell

Recommended Posts

I had an issue with a couple platforms (Sony PlayStation, Sony PlayStation 2, Sony PlayStation 3). I deleted them from LB and re-imported them. PS2 & PS3 went fine.

I thought PS1 had also, but when I would try to do a bulk edit, it would crash LB (see txt).

Now I have found I can delete the platform, close LB, re-open LB and it always brings back the platform. I can't get rid of it. Backups off, delete the Sony Playstation.xml and will re-create it.

How do I get rid of it, so I can try to get this platform fixed.

I uploaded logs, not sure which one is which, sorry.Debug 2023-08-31 05-53-36 AM.logDebug 2023-08-31 05-56-27 AM.log

Its because in your. \Data folder you have a file called Sony Playstation - Copy.xaml. Only thing in the \Data folders should be the files LB creates. If you create any backup files for platforms or playlists and store them there LB will try to read them. Keep those files in a folder outside of the \Data folders.

I normally do as you suggest, but was trying different things in this case. I didn't expect LB to attempt to use a file if it wasn't the "exact name". Thx Retro
