Unfortunately nothing regarding a crash is in the logs. Can you share screenshots of the files you are deleting and where they are located? Also the extension doesn't use any user.config
file so I'm confused about that one.
extension.log
and playnite.log
log files to clear themSorry, I mistook config.json
for user.config
. I was referring to the config.json
file in Playnite\ExentionsData\ef9df36c-24c2-418c-8468-eed95a09d950
:
Now, I used the linked extension version and everything worked fine. Couldn't reproduce the crash. I added every icon and placement again, by hand. Then, I added like 20 more presets (now at 65+) and it didn't crash. That is, until I added one that was just a bunch of special characters. Naming a preset with these characters in it causes it to crash-loop. Re-naming it from safe mode and then restarting works as a fix for a single restart, then it crash loops until I clean install the extension (remove from safe mode, delete config.json
and install again. If I just delete config.json
without clean installing, it doesn't fix it.

99% sure it's the ,
that caused the issue, since that's the only character I remember using in my preset names. Maybe it's .
, but I had a preset called "itch.io" for a long time without issues.
What's super interesting is that I backed up the ExentionsData\ef9df36c-24c2-418c-8468-eed95a09d950
folder after having successfully fixed the crashes, before adding test Q!($^&)$%_+(%_)(*,, 1
as a preset, but moving the files back into the extension data folder where they belong, overwriting config.json
, causes the crash-loop to re-appear. There are currently no special characters in any of the preset names, just good letters and spaces. I'm also back to the working number, 43. Same state as before, but it crashes.

Edit: I re-did what had fixed the issue before, by hand, not moving backups now, but it's still crashing. I am at a loss for ideas at this point. Sorry this issue is so enigmatic.
I can't reproduce it even with that naming and according to the logs, all the procedures done by the extension are finishing correctly so if anything is happening is after that. The extension is not doing anything by the time the issue is happening.

By this, do you mean you created the Filter Presets in Playnite itself or configured them to display in the sidebar or top bar in the extension?
Have you tried disabling every extension and only leaving this one enabled?
Are you adding images to the configured filter in the extension settings? If you are, can you try not adding any images and see if the issue still happens? It's possible that a corrupted image could cause an issue when Playnite reads it.
After all that, can you then disable this extension so you don't have any enabled and try and see if it happens again by any chance?

Just adding a filter preset by that name, even without adding it to top or sidebar, made it crash.

Yes, and this fixes the crash loop. I then tested every interaction with every single add-on, making sure to enable one at a time and closing and opening twice after the auto-restart (because the auto-restart never crashes, normal starts do). I don't know why and I don't know how, but enabling HowLongToBeat together with this add-on causes the loop. I can't get it to crash without the HLTB extension enabled. Every other addon at once plays nice.
These are my settings for the HLTB plugin, if they can be of any help:
Considering that, it seems the issue lies on the HLTB plugin, more so if you consider that the issue happens when this extension is not doing anything. Also just to be sure, have you tried disabling this extension and only having HTLB enabled to see if it happens? That extension in particular has a history of causing crashes, for example, for several people here: https://www.reddit.com/r/playnite/comments/1al0w35/the_howlongtobeat_plugin_has_been_updated_to/
Also just to be sure, have you tried disabling this extension and only having HTLB enabled to see if it happens?
I have, version 3.2.1, and it causes absolutely no issues for me. No particular theme causes the crash-loop for me either, like the person saying the Helium Theme HLTB integration was the issue.
I then installed a previous version (3.1.2), like suggested by this person and this version plays nicely with Filter Presets. No crashes so far.
Extension name
Filter Presets Quick Launcher
Bug Description
I was building out my quick launchers, when suddenly, after closing and opening, Playnite couldn't go for 2 seconds without crashing. consistently, immediately after opening. I could find nothing noted in the extension or Playnite logs. Uninstalling the extension fixes the crash. Deleting the exension data or the user.config file however, doesn't. No issues with any missing or weird icons. Re-ordering the presets inside of the quick launcher settings doesn't fix it, disabling all in both top and sidebar doesn't fix it. Deleting all icons doesn't fix it.
What briefly works: I deleted some of my presets, am now down to 43 and the extension worked as normal. That is, until I tried re-adding my quick launchers. At some point, it just starts the crash-loop again.
To Reproduce
I'm not sure how to reproduce this crash-loop. It's happened to me once before, but I have no idea how it fixed itself. High likelyhood that having tons (50+) of presets with icons will cause this crash-loop.
