Thanks for reporting. I will need to look into it. Where do you get that error? Could you post the output here?

For some datetime reasons, Ploto has trouble removing aborted jobs upon launch. Upon my own observation, the full functionality is given, as Ploto will keep going, even with those ugly red lines.
The troubling lines of code are within then function Remove-AbortedPlotoJobs
:
[datetime]$StartTime = Get-Date ($job.starttime)
$JobToReport = [PSCustomObject]@{
JobId = $job.jobid
StartTime = $job.Starttime
PlotId = $job.PlotId
ArgumentList = $job.ArgumentList
TempDrive = $job.TempDrive
OutDrive = $job.OutDrive
CompletionTime = $job.CompletionTime
CompletionTimeP1 = $job.CompletionTimeP1
CompletionTimeP2 = $job.CompletionTimeP2
CompletionTimeP3 = $job.CompletionTimeP3
CompletionTimeP4 = $job.CompletionTimeP4
EndDate = (Get-Date $StartTime).AddHours($completiontime)
}
Where job
is an instance of $JobsToAbort:
$JobsToAbort = Get-PlotoJobs | Where-Object {$_.Status -eq "Aborted"}
Flush your logs in C:\Users\Yanik\.chia\mainnet\plotter
(replace 'Tydeno' with the user you run your chia instance). This like always helps with Ploto.
If you have any left overs of aborted jobs on your drives (.tmp files) you need to remove the manually. Afterwards, Ploto should be able to start normally, as there are no jobs that could generate an error.
Removed Start/EndTime calc from Remove-AbortedPlotoJobs
. It's not needed anyway there.
Describe the bug Trying to run Ploto during a european date that won't transcribe into an (incorrect) American date will throw an error.
eg: 17/06/2021 is todays date in UK format. Ploto doesn't understand it because it's trying to use the first number as the month. The correct American date would be 06/17/2021.
