Hi Eduard,
I've just downloaded and installed Elisa for win32. But the only thing
that happens on it's start is the splash-screen. What should i do?
I've tried to reboot. I've tried to launch the set_env.bat from
elisa-core\mswin32\ directory, since i have no environment variables
visible through the respective dialog in 'system properties' window.
But when i try SET command under 'console' they're all there.
I tried to launch elisa.exe from console, but nothing happened. Then
i've found the 'Start_Elisa.bat' file. I tried to launch it from
'console' and here what it prints out:
C:\Program Files\Elisa>"Start Elisa.bat" 2> C:\Elisa.log
Error 'utf8' codec can't decode bytes in position 26-27: invalid data
Press any key to continue . . .
where the 'Press any key to continue . . .' appears only after
terminating the python.exe process. I've attached the Elisa.log file
with the only errors it had.
So, what should i do?
I don't have a lot of information but I think this is a bug in the code
that reads the name of the Media folders like "My Pictures", "My
Videos", etc.
I assume that you are using Windows localized into Russian. Can you send
me the names of those folders? Another idea would be to send you a small
python script that tries to get those names and see if it works.
Regards,
Yesterday i had unresolvable issue on my Windows system and had to
reinstall it with formatting partition C:. After fresh install - voila!
Elisa works! well, not actually works, but still!
The problem is just as you assumed - Elisa starts, but shows 1-2 error
messages (at the first run) and while running it doesn't show the 'Play
from Folder' option. So, i suppose it's due to my Russian windows
localisation. And i suppose that sending you my names for 'My music'.
'My videos' etc. isn't correct answer. I suppose that you should try to
write some script, that will guess the names of those folders. And most
of all - i'd like to see the opion to play music from OTHER folders than
those: it's known that saving files on the same partition with the
WINDOWS system is at least unsafe. Any system failure that needs
formatting (e.g. virus or something like that) leads to all user data
loss. It's not like in Linux where you not only can have /home on
different partition from the whole system, but also you can create
symlinks to 'My music' folder from other partitions.
So, most wisely would be making some script, that runs before, or even
better, separately from Elisa and allows to add custom folders to your
media collection. Then you just run Elisa with your custom folders and -
you are HAPPY!
What would you say?
