MobiFlight Community Support

Hi,

I have been making the connections to Mobiflight from my newly built MCP - I have been setting up the configs. I have got a fair way into connecting everything then I backed out of the config edit screen without entering any data and Mobiflight crashed (is this a bug?) and would not restart giving an exception error.

I believe the mcc file has become corrupt as if I load another mcc file it works but not if I load the file that was loaded when Mobiflight crashed. I moved the suspect file to another folder so Mobiflight would not read it.

Is there any way to recover this mcc file as I really don't want to have to start all over again. Please help asap as I am trying to test my connections.

Hi Dave,

first set up an empty configuration file (i.e. test.mcc) in which only the sections exist:

<? xml version = "1.0" encoding = "UTF-8" standalone = "yes"?>
<Mobi Flight Connector>
<Outputs>
</ Outputs>
<Inputs>
</ Inputs>
</ Mobi Flight Connector>


Now you get out of the defective .mcc everything between the two outputs and copy this into the empty file. If an error occurs when starting MF, an output configuration is defective.
If no error occurs, you can leave the file unchanged and get the inputs SINGLE and copy them into this file. After each change save the file and start MF. At some point then the error must occur and you know which entry is defective.

If the error already occurs in the outputs, delete the outputs and first get all inputs. If there are no errors here, then fetch the outputs individually until the error occurs.

I have already searched for errors and found. Since then, I have made a backup copy IMMEDIATELY

Thanks Stephan - all sorted.

Dave
