strange popup i have never seen before, "encountered an improper argument"
nothing goes wrong, but it keeps popping up randomly during the show.
there is only one button on it, "ok"
what could be the problem?

This is a strange one...

Does it happen during the playback, or no pattern at all?

during playback, seems random.

while i have you.....
other computer, importing mp4 files and some are coming up in the middle section "songs not added (names not matched) and it shows songs that do not exist. i can open my karaoke music folder and search for the exact name and come up dry.
the naming convention is mostly correct but even using the locate button does not show the file, as it does not exist.
this is easily reproducible on this computer at least, and only happens with mp4's.
not sure how this one is even possible, but i was able to figure out the other import crashing problem is attached to the song duration scan as disabling that option allows it to import as normal (minus the made up songs which i admit is impossible, but happening anyway.)

My bests guess of the 'improper argument' is that it is coming from one of the codecs used during the playback. I will see which one might be causing it.

As of MP4 import -- I will look into this. But the crash while getting the playing time also suggest something might be wrong with one of the codecs. Can you please send me a log of Siglos playing MP4 file?
