Cannot add to queue

[thany]

I'm trying to enqueue a job, but it doesn't work. I don't have much to work with here, it just says:

Queue
Cannot add job test.mkv
[OK]

That's it.
What sort of things can cause this error message?

Using 2.6.4 build 8874 on Windows XP.

Had it once last week.
I just closed avidemux
deleted \AppData\Roaming\avidemux\jobs.sql
deleted \AppData\Roaming\avidemux\jobs\*.*

started avidemux again and i could add the job again.

hopefully solves for you too

Strangely, I can no longer reproduce the issue, so I can't tell if your workaround works for me. Maybe later (hopefully not  )

Thanks anyway. Maybe someone else can use this info.

Might be simultaneous access to the job database
Do your problems happen when you have both avidemux & job control open at the same time ?

It's been a few days since this issue occurred, but I think I had two avidemuxes open at the time. Yeah that must be it. One was processing, and the other I was using to fill up the queue.

Simultaneous access to the queue was no problem in 2.5, because I've been using the program like this a million times, so I had no reason to assume it wasn't going to work. But the main issue here is that it silently fails. It should at the very very least display an error message if simultaneous access to the queue is truly impossible (even if the other avidemux wasn't accessing the queue at all, mind you.. perhaps avidemux simply locks the queue while running, or something).

It is windows specific
