Error unable to open File

Re: Error unable to open File

Pls disregard last post. Turned out my the folder for the destination NAS drive had been set to "Read Only". Not sure when I changed it, however setting back to "Read/Write" solved the problem.

Re: Error unable to open File

I'm running into the same issue except I'm trying to convert FLAC files to Apple Lossless from one NAS drive to another using Dynamic Output Location. The Dynamic Output Location string below is the same one I've used to convert in the past. (Last successful conversion was in February 2017 if memory serves.) I'm using dbpoweramp v. 15.8 (1) on a MacBook Pro running 10.12.4. The conversion worked when I changed the Output Location to Original Folder. I also tried to reset the "Set Restricted Characters" to Mac default but that didn't solve the issue below. Any help would be appreciated...would rather not have to manually create folders, move files, etc. in the new location. Thx.

Re: Error unable to open File

Hey Spoon,

I can confirm the bug. I've never edited those settings. After a restore of the "Filename Restricted Characters" in the "Configure dBpoweramp" everything is working fine again.

Re: Error unable to open File

Have you ever edited that section before?

I have never edited those settings.

Re: Error unable to open File

I did not run a beta before and I don't believe I made any changes to the filenames restricted characters. I did use Word/character replacement rules

Re: Error unable to open File

Have you ever run a R16 beta before? or edited that section previously?

Re: Error unable to open File

Same problem happened to me, also after upgrading to to v16.2 and when using the Multi-Encoder rather than using a single encoder. I did as Spoon suggested and it fixed it. Note that I had tried reseting filename restricted characters from the CD ripper app and it had not solved the issue. I had to use the dBpoweramp configuration app

Re: Error unable to open File

Performing a 'Restore Default' solved this issue for me.

In case it helps, I had performed an in-place upgrade of 64-bit R16.1 to 16.2 and started having the problem.

Many thanks!

Re: Error unable to open File

It does not use the one in CD Ripper rather:

dBpoweramp Control Center >> Advanced Settings

Filename Restricted Characters

Click the restore default button

Re: Error unable to open File

Note: Multi Encode seems to not be using the options I tried setting in the dialogs I mention in my first post above at all, as I get the following error when trying to rip a file with a ":" in the [album] as well. And that character should be replaced as well according to the replacements in the "CD Ripper Options -> Filename Restricted Characters" options.

Error ripping to [Multi Encoder], 'Track 9' to 'C:\Users\BitBuilder\Music\dbPowerAudio Rips\Pixies\Wave of Mutilation; Best of Pixies\09 Pixies - Monkey Gone to Heaven.IGNORE'
   FLAC: Error unable to open File 'C:\Users\BitBuilder\Music\dbPowerAudio Rips\FLAC\Pixies\Wave of Mutilation: Best of Pixies\09 Pixies ~ Monkey Gone to Heaven.flac' for writing.  [clEncoder::BeginConversion]

P.S. Note as a sloppy fix I am using tilde "~" character as a separator instead of "-", but that is only a workaround for user set naming strings, not track data, that needs to be replaced.

Re: Error unable to open File

OK, ran test as specified above, (I did change: "[artist] - [tile]" to "[artist] - [title]") and got the following error:

Error converting to [Multi Encoder], 'C:\Users\BitBuilder\Music\dbPowerAudio Rips\FLAC\Swans\The Burning World\03 Swans ~ Can't Find My Way Home.flac' to 'C:\Users\BitBuilder\Music\dbPowerAudio Rips\FLAC\Swans\The Burning World\03 Swans ~ Can't Find My Way Home.IGNORE'

Re: Error unable to open File

Try this exact test:

take a flac file >> right click >> convert to >> multi-encoder

Add just mp3 lame (any settings) and set the naming to [artist] - [tile]

Write to a specified folder.

What final name is used?

Re: Error unable to open File

Strange I not get same error (trying Reference on 64 bit), even with your naming strings...

Which version of dBpoweramp do you have? 64 or 32 bit?

Yes, I am using 64-bit as well, on bare-metal Windows 10 machine (Not a VM).
