hijack configuration error - 02/03/2002 11:05

Hi, I have the following problem:
Recently i downloaded 2.11b en hijack221. It worked fine but after a few sync's with emplode i get a hijack config error and the player won't sending and retreiving configuration files. Does anyone have a sollution for my problem?
When i make a change in my player configuration and sending it up to the player i get the following reading in hyper terminal:

I suspect that Emplode may have hosed your config.ini file -- making it larger than 4096 bytes, which is the limit as far as the player software is concerned. You'll have to hand edit the file or something to fix it. Perhaps someone else can help with that.

Most likely you did multiple syncs in one session of emplode.
There's a bug that doubles the number of rows for the Favourite Visuals every time you sync, except the first time. If the file gets larger than 4096 bytes, only the last 4096 bytes will be read and interpreted, leading to missing stuff.

Work-around: close emplode and restart it after each sync.

Fix the current situation: IIRC it can be fixed if you in emplode go in and remove all Favourite Visuals for all sources - via the GUI, not by editing the config.ini manually - and then sync.
Close emplode and restart it, pick Edit config.ini - it should now be OK. Then you can select your Favourite Visuals again - via the GUI. Remember to restart emplode after each sync.

There's probably a FAQ on this issue... Ah yes, here...

Ok, I had a lot of crap in my config,ini. So i followed the instruction to delete the ini file from the players hdd. It worked well. Thanks a lot guy's and forgiv me my poor English.
