It looks like you config file got corrupted. You could try deleting it at C\:Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\aerial\config.json and then re-starting the program. It might also be a permissions error with the file. Let me know if that helps.

Brother, ur config file is corrupted. Delete that file, it'll be on this location: C\:Users\%username%\AppData\Roaming\aerial\config.json replace %username% if u wish. It should work without replacing. If that doesn't works, try opening the program as administrator. If that also don't helps, ping me.

Happens to me as well sometimes when program is running even. Closing and restarting fixes it for me in that case.

[gineser]

That did the trick! Thank you. One thing to mention to others when offering the solution is to keep a note of the current settings before deleting the file since it contains all customizations that you setup.

Thank you

Jason

I have the same issue here. Yes, deleting config.json makes the program work again - but only for a while. Sooner or later the issue will come back so apparently this indeed is a bug of sorts.

provably, it may be caused by json type of value validation. for example, the default value is fill in numeric type like this. "videoTransitionLength": 1000,

but, after configuration via UI, the value is filled in string type. "videoTransitionLength": "1000",

[luckehal]

For me the error happens randomly without me touching the UI or settings in any way, the program is just running minimized in the background

[SawYoung]

Having the same issue as well, and the issue still happens again after deleting config.json

[Kraiggers]

This happens to me, as well. I've deleted the config file and started fresh several times. It always comes back.

but, after configuration via UI, the value is filled in string type. "videoTransitionLength": "1000",

This was exactly the problem in my case. I changed this line (#10 in my config.json file): "startAfter": "5", to: "startAfter": 5,

Odd though, this isn't something that I changed recently (if at all). The program had been working fine for months.

UPDATE: I spoke too soon X)

Was this fixed in the latest release? I just installed this yesterday for the first time and I get this pop up a few times a day

first of all, great work on that app.

Chiming in to say is get the same error fairly constantly.

I do notice more when I am running Macrium Reflect, which opens in administrator (I don’t have aerial set to admin as it didn’t seem to consistently help with Aerial playing over/behind video). not sure if the two are actually correlated or just coincidental.

Thanks again for all your work!
