Installing Hue intertainment going to corrupt config.json file (i think) obstructing emulator to start #475

yesterday i tried to shut down lights in a room with no success: hue emulator was not descoverable. i checked out through the ip and it was down. after a research on closed issues (tried kinda everything similar to my problem) and being sure about ports ecc i tried to replace the config.json with a fresh one (maybe a scene with an empty name or similar). it worked but today i wanted back "my" hue entertainment , so i followed the guide do install (it also asked me to replace some files) after that i tried to restart the emulator with no success then I replaced the config file and it worked (no entertainment functionalities). im not good at programming at all (honestly I past a couple of hours figuring out how to set up the whole thing), but since I was able to use entertainment before I think that maybe those informations could be useful for developers. I also have the config.json that I retain "corrupted" if it could help

(sorry if this post is useful)

Please paste here the full error when you run the script manually. The error config.json file corupted may be related to sd card issues.

"corrupted" was used by me because I think it was, not because the script called it that way. anyway I just tried to recreate the error but instead (luckily for me) I got a working entertainment.
