.JSON Playlists not working?
Closed this issue · 11 comments
I compiled a newer version of agbplay because I had an older version. It's great and all, but the .JSON playlists don't seem to be working. Even when I use roms that have the same rom code as in the .JSON file it doesn't seem to work. I don't know if I did something incorrectly on my end that made it so that this feature isn't working, but I thought I'd just let you know.
Btw, I'm on Windows 10, if that helps at all.
Just to sort things out: When you load any game of your choice, edit the playlist, and the close the game: Do the settings persist when you open the game one more time?

The settings don't seem to persist. When I edit the playlist and change things like sample rate or rom codes and open games up, nothing seems to have changed at all.
Does the file ~/.config/agbplay.json exist?
Does the file
~/.config/agbplay.jsonexist?
The .JSON file exists. I don't have a config folder for it, if that is what you mean.
I can't follow. If the file exists the config folder HAS to exist, otherweise the file wouldn't be where it is.
One more thing though: What happens if you are in agbplay and press "f". Does it show a message about the config being saved?

When I do that, the program closes and in the command prompt it says "Error while writing agbplay.json: No such file or directory"
What does readlink -f ~/.config/agbplay.json show?
Doing that doesn't show anything. I think I may have done something wrong here.
Okay, are you sure that the .config directory exists in your home directory? Because to me it seems that it does not.
So I would suggest you do a mkdir -p ~/.config, start agbplay again and check if loading/saving JSON works.

I created the .config folder and things seem to work now! Thank you so much. I was not aware that I needed to make a .config folder.
Yeah, I will leave this issue open though and put a fix in agbplay so that it creates this directory if not existant.
