XBMC Error

Dev Community Apps & Creations

My main computer running windows 10 just started giving me a popup saying “XBMC error” whenever I try to open OpenPHT. I tried restarting the computer but no help. Plex Media Player opens normally. I thought of trying to uninstall and reinstall but I’m trying to avoid losing all my settings if I can.

I tried uninstalling then reinstalling OpenPHT but I am, unfortunately, still getting the same XBMC error. Seems like I’m dead in the water and am stuck with using PMP for now on that computer.

Check your openpht logfile in the following directory:
C:\Users[USERNAME]\AppData\Roaming\OpenPHT

If you can’t find anything useful in there you could simply try to delete/rename the complete “OpenPHT” folder. Another possibility could be a broken c++ redistributable, in that case download the OpenPHT package again but this time just extract the package content (with e.g. 7zip) , go to the “Dependencies” folder and install vcredist_2013_x86 (choose repair option if it’s already installed)

Thanks. I will try.

The first suggestion you made solved the problem. Thanks again.
