I've retried several times, but the error happens immediately upon starting the download.

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Go to 'Liberate'
2. Click on 'Liberate Visible Books: 1'
3. Almost Immediately, the error pops up

I've tried changing around some of the settings under "Audio File Settings", but this didn't change anything.

Expected behavior

For other books, they all download just fine.

Sorry about this. Thank you very much for your log. I fixed a bit of code around this issue but I haven't fully released the change yet. Can you please try this pre-release and let me know whether it fixes your issue -- https://github.com/rmcrackan/Libation/releases/tag/v11.6.4

[jacobfiala]

This did not fix the issue, and furthermore, I now get this error upon opening the app and my library is no longer listed on the left.

Scanning the library does not return the list either. But the "liberate" command still works for placing the undownloaded ones into the queue.

But of course, they are still not downloading

Can you attach your new log?

Thank you so much for your help by the way! <3

Thank you very much for the log.

There are a few parts here which you might want to play with. I'd try these tests on one book at a time, one settings-change at a time to see what's breaking. If other things work the maybe we can isolate what combination is breaking on your system.

• it might be something about the mp3 quality in your settings. Try setting this higher or lower
• you're downloading as file-per-chapter. Try as single-file
• you're saving as mp3. Try as the default m4b (that is: uncheck the mp3 option)

I'm leaving town for a few days and I'll available for replies when I return.

@Mbucari Is this just an issue with a too-low sample rate?

[Mbucari]

@rmcrackan Yes, that is the issue. The MP# lib only supports 8000 Hz <= sample rates <= 48000 Hz. The AAXClean.SampleRate enum has values ranging from 7350 to 96000 because those are all possible values for an mp4 file, but the options in libation's MP3 settings will need to be restricted. I'll push a fix for it shortly. BTW, is there a reason that the current release is 11.1? There have been a lot of bug fixes since then.

@jacobfiala If you go to Libation's Audio File Settings and change "Max audio sample rate" to 8000, this should work.

[jacobfiala]

That worked! Still getting the bad filter string error when I open it, but it works fine anyway!

[Mbucari]

@jacobfiala You probably have a corrupted QuickFilters.json file. Try deleting it (which will remove all quick filters you have set) and recreating your filters.

[jacobfiala]

Yep! That was it. I'm back running perfectly. Thank y'all so much!

[rmcrackan]

Thank you @Mbucari !!!

Fear. I actually did a full release a while back and too many users had issues with it so I deleted it. Every time I believe I've got it ironed out, someone on a pre-release will find something new. I just need to bite the bullet eventually. I'm not ready to though until I can have a lot of free time just in case there's a flood of bug reports after a new full release. And free time has not been abundant lately, so it's easy to put off.

When you're thinking of doing it, let me know ahead of time so we can coordinate a schedule where I can help find and fix bugs.

That would be very cool! I didn't know you were still interested. Would you prefer this week or next? Or other?

The first week in February works better for me. You game for then?

Sweet -- I added a calendar reminder.
