This seems to be a recurring error in ELAN. I think this error resurfaced because I recently updated Java on my computer (but it could be a completely different reason):
Now when opening a newish ELAN project (other older ELAN projects don’t seem to bring up this problem), I get this ELAN very, very long error message:
No player could be created for:
-file:[correct pathway to file]
JDSPlayer cannot handle the file: Cannot play back the file. The format is not supported.
JFXMediaPlayer cannot handle the file: Unrecognized file signature!
Failing to load VLCJ Player.
Is VLC properly installed?
java.lang.UnsatisfiedLinkError: Unable to load library ‘libvlc’:
The specified module could not be found.
The specified module could not be found.
The specified module could not be found.
Native library (win32-x86-64/lbvlc.dll) not found in resource path ([very, very long string of pathways])
The JavaSound media player does not support the media file: Stream of unsupported format
I’m wondering if there could be something wrong with the audio file format? But it looks alright to me:
wav, 44100Hz, 32-bit float
Reading some of the other threads regarding this error message has not helped.
However, after I dismiss the error message, the project opens and I seem to be able to work on the project without further problems. Audio works, etc. It’s now just annoying having to view and dismiss this error message every time I open this project.
Java is:
Version 8 Update 411 (build 1.8.0_411-b09)
Thank you in advance.
