Issue on Container Startup

[CardcaptorRLH85]

I'm having an issue when starting the container even though I wasn't in the past. I've changed no configurations in PAL inbetween.

Have you tried launching the container multiple times ? Does this happen every time now ?

I'm sorry for the gap in my reply, I was away for a bit. Yes, I get this same error on every container restart now.

same here

So I got it working again by going to my mapped volume and deleting the cache folder and restarting. For some reason it was an empty file inside. After deleting and then restarting, it scanned files again and started working

This fixed it for me too. No idea what corrupted the cache though.

Thank you for the precious feedback @JohnFawkes, I'm glad that you were able to solve this !
I will update the code to deal with corrupted cache files.
