dblack Posted January 16, 2023 Posted January 16, 2023 Tonight I started getting the message below when launching S5 Sequencer. I uninstalled and reinstalled and still getting this message. Any ideas? --------------------------- Light-O-Rama S5 Sequencer --------------------------- One or more problems occurred during startup: A problem occurred while loading the Preview File: '.', hexadecimal value 0x00, is an invalid character. Line 1, position 1. ---------------------------
Solution MattBrown Posted January 16, 2023 Solution Posted January 16, 2023 Sounds like the file may have been corrupted. Try opening your sequence file in Windows Notepad. It should start with: <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <sequence If it doesn't, there is a backup file -- the file name ends with .loredit.bak. For example, if your sequence is called "song1.loredit", there should be a "song1.loredit.bak" in the same folder. Rename "song1.loredit.bak" to "song1-backup.loredit". Windows will ask if you intended to change the file extension - say Yes. Now try opening "song1-backup.loredit" in the Sequencer.
