One sequence will not run during show

[Lisn2me]

I added a couple of new sequences to my show but one will not run. CP log says "ERROR WITH SEQUENCE ( cannot open sequence then the file location) so far I have tried to delete play files and re-create them, I have also tried to save the sequence as a new name and then create play files from that without luck.  One thing I did notice is that for files related to this sequence I have the "play.lms" file but not a "play.lms.lcs" file I am unsure if that may be the root cause, I am also not real familar with the file extensions and relationship to the show. 

any thoughts or direction correcting this.

The show player will create the .lcs the first time it plays the sequence.

well I thought I was on a good path there, bummer.. what should I look for when the File wont open in the show? This is the only one that wont open.

FIXED - Started Playing around and saved a new sequence. the old file name had both a comma and an apostrophe in the name, "Baby, It's cold outside" I remove both and saved the Sequence, Created new Play files and it worked.. Now I am not sure if that was the issue and the SE doesn't like files with punctuation but it's working now.

Interesting. Could well be. That might be considered a bug. The program should reject improper filenames, and tell the user the issue. Might even be a Windows file handing issue.

Glad you got it fixed. 

I tested with sequences named "Baby, It's cold outside", "Baby It's cold outside", and "Baby, Its cold outside". As the log below shows, all 3 names were played by the Show Player.

So maybe there was another character in the file name? Perhaps one of the other "Single Quote-like Characters" noted on this page: https://www.cs.sfu.ca/~ggbaker/reference/characters/ ?
