cx_Freeze: Python error in main script #78

Open TylerDanger opened 6 years ago

TylerDanger commented 6 years ago

Just recently ScreenBloom doesn't want to open and is giving me this error. My situation may be different I use my google home to start and stop my computer so maybe it isn't closing properly? I don't think I can get to the 'regen config file' since ScreenBloom wont open.

Haha wow that is a crazy error message! But yeah it looks like something in the config file got corrupted. If you simply delete it and restart ScreenBloom, a new one will be generated.

The config file is located at: c:/Users/<Username>/AppData*/Roaming/screenBloom/ *You'll need to enable 'Show Hidden Files' to see this directory.

Let me know if you still have the issue after!

Cool! That's the solution! I'll keep trying to replicate it but that is way faster than trying to uninstall and delete everything

This just happened to me as well, and the cause was that the config file at C:/Users/<Username>/AppData/Roaming/screenBloom/screenBloom_config.cfg had hardcoded the IP with:

hue_ip = 192.168.1.7

This was fine, until my router got restarted, and the Hue bridge got 192.168.1.2 as its IP.

I've set the IP to 192.168.1.2 in the config file and everything is working.

Can confirm this is caused by changing / resetting router settings.
