Hi,

I exported the list from the TV in the file attached, but when I open the file with the application I get the error:

Fehler bei Programmausführung

Bei der Programmausführung trat folgender Fehler auf: System.NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

at ChanSort.Ui.ReferenceListForm.SetInput(SerializerBase ser)

at ChanSort.Ui.ReferenceListForm.b__6_0()

OK

Regards GlobalClone00001.zip

Hi Andrei, Unfortunately the .zip file attached is corrupted. It only contains bytes with value 0 and can't be opened. I've seen numerous cases where the TV write files with all 0 or some garbage on a USB stick. Typical causes are a) fake USB sticks that report more memory than they actually have or containing bad memory cells, resulting in data loss b) sticks formatted with a file system that's not fully supported by the operating system of the TV or PC (expecially NTFS-sticks can cause trouble when writing on them with a linux based TV)

Recent versions of ChanSort no longer show a NullReferenceException when the reference list file could not be loaded (e.g. due to file corruption).
