Player can't find sync file for "Order of the Phoenix"

[redmans]

For some reason, when I try to play "Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix" through the RiffPlayer I keep getting the error "Error: No corresponding sync file found! Please put the proper sync file in the same directory as the mp3 file!" The problem is that the sync file IS in the same directory as the mp3 file. I've done a few of these, but this one's the only one that's been giving me problems. Any ideas as to why?

Thanks!

The mp3 name and the riff name have to identical.. for example:

EmpireStrikesBack_RiffTrax.sync

EmpireStrikesBack_RiffTrax.mp3

That's exactly what the problem was! The mp3 is called

HarryPotter_OrderofPhoenix_Rifftrax.mp3

and the sync file is called

HarryPotterOrderofPhoenix_Rifftrax.sync

I'm sure if I correct that, it should work fine. I'm not sure who puts together the download files, but they probably need to be made aware of this so they can fix it.

Thanks!

It looks like the naming issue was fixed on the server, just FYI.

Hi all,

I just want to let the various poobahs, both grand and otherwise, that this problem should not be considered solved.

The beta-player refuses to even see the sync-file. For example:



Then I thought, hey, it's on the desktop. Maybe I can just put the whole filename (HarryPotterOrderofPhoenix_Rifftrax.sync) into the Open dialog and it'll work. Wrong. I got this:



Anyway, then I thought maybe my player needs to be updated. Remembering that this new beta player has a built in update feature. I selected that. Then I waited. Then I saw this:



Anyhow. Now I'm going to attempt to do it manually, but I'm so bad at that. I just wanted to keep hope alive for those of us who want to see the words of the Harry Potter flicks.

Doc... you are using the wrong player.. that is the ancient player that was phased out years ago. Please go to http://www.rifftrax.com/riffplayer to download the present player.

Ah, you're using the old player. Get the new player here: http://rifftrax.com/player

I'm adding a link to the main page that will hopefully allow people to find the new, correct player more easily.

I have no idea how I did that. Somehow I opened the wrong thingie. Thanks for the help.

Ok, well I seem to be having the "Error: No corresponding sync file found."  I have the most recent play, the mp3 and the sync are in the same directory, and they are named identically.  Any suggestions.
