BUG | cannot find watchdog.exe
Is there an existing issue for this?
- [X] I have searched the existing issues
Current Behavior
Cannot launch standalone or reboot when apple music (preview) is selected as service, it's searching for watchdog.exe and cannot find it
If I launch is manually (downloaded the zip from the other repo) it's working, btw I tried to manually create the path and copy the exe (and dll too) where the process is expecting it
It's just spamming this every 5 seconds (sorry the error is in italian language)
Can I give you need any other info you need?
Expected Behavior
No response
Steps To Reproduce
No response
Environment
- OS:Windows 11
- Version: 10.0.22621 build 22621
- Apple Music Preview: 1.1027.8705
- AMRCP: 4.3.0.0 (Windows Store version)
Anything else?
There is no log file because no AMRCP folder is created
I found this in the Discord that it worked for someone, maybe you can try it out to see if it works for you too:
Somehow the app not automatically install watchdog to make it run, so you have to put files in manual:
- Get watchdog here: https://github.com/zephraOSS/AMRPC-WatchDog
- Extract it
- Put extracted folder in error location: C:\Users\User\AppData\Roaming\ARMPC\watchdog\watchdog.exe (make new ARMPC folder obviously because it is not exist yet)
- Run the app and enjoy
I'm having the same issue here. As a workaround, I downloaded the v4.3.0 beta 4 installer.
Does it work w/ beta 4?
I'm also having this issue on AMRPC installed from Microsoft Store. Probably because Watchdog isn't downloaded to %AppData%\AMRPC but is instead downloaded to %LocalAppData%\packages\62976zephra.AMRPC_xe0z77jsegffp\LocalCache\Roaming\amrpc because of the sandboxing applied to Microsoft Store apps. Logs are also stored there instead of in %AppData%\AMRPC: main.log
install the github version beta 3 and then you can update fixed it for me :)
