New User with a setup issue

Open RodneyPhJ opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Although I followed the start-up video to set things up when I try to rip a CD, I get the message:

"Could not setup decoder for input file: " followed by a filename. It lists the error message for each file. After a short while it proceeds to play the tracks.

I am using Windows 11 with all the latest updates.

I would be grateful for ay help.

GH's ticket system is better for bugs & feature-requests. A discussion would have been better for general guidance.

I followed the start-up video

Which video is that? (I'm old school.)

“Could not setup decoder for input file: ” followed by a filename. It lists the error message for each file.

  • Which decoder?
  • What type of input file? You mentioned trying to extract from a CD.
  • Please cite each (unique) error message, along with relevant context. If a log was output, quote it.

Without the specific details, it's like going to your car mechanic and simply saying ‘my car doesn't work’. Right; which part? What are the symptoms? Your mechanic can examine your car, though; other (remote) users can't examine your installation. Thus, it must be accurately described.
