using ver 1.17.13 on windows 11, when I launch the .bat file I get this 

panic: runtime error: invalid memory address or nil pointer dereference

Can you provide more context? For example, what command you ran, or what bat file you specifically started, and/or what options you selected? Or what operation you were trying to do, or what video title you were trying to catalog? Details would help a lot! :-D

I tried to use the interface by lauching the jav-it_gui.bat file (this worked before) and I get this error on the cmd. The only change I made compared to when it worked is that I moved a bit my files and folders but then I re followed the how to use instructions so I'm lost to see where it failed.

What geographical location are you in? Also, can you try to run with a VPN set to a US location to see if that resolves your issue? If it does, it might indicate the potential issue as it might be a google blocking issue/change.

I'm in France. I tried using a VPN but nothing changed. I'll look into my internet and google settings but I'm not sure if I'll find something because no setting was changed (I think)...

Ok I found it. My antivirus got an update and added new rules it seems but I just have to switch it off to run jav it. Thanks for your help!

No worries. Because Jav-It does a lot of "Automation" Windows Defender and AV packages assume via heuristics that Jav-It behaves like a Virus. In most cases I do recommend disabling those packages, or adding a whitelist for it.
