Max could not launch URL. err = -43 (with ; max launchbrowser)

Hi,

I am using Max to open Live Sets using the message "; max launchbrowser".

For example :

; max launchbrowser "file:///Users/structurevoid/Desktop/Michael_void/test Project/test3.als"

It works fine on my computer but on someone else's the following error is displayed on the console (of course he uses a different path than mine, a path that is directly imported from his computer using dropfile) :

Max could not launch URL. err = -43

I can recreate this error by inserting a wrong path after launchbrowser on my computer. So it appears to be a wrong path issue.

Does anyone have more information on this err = -43 or on the subject ?

Thanks a lot in advance,

Arthur

Thanks a lot for your answer.

Actually, this is exactly what I use. I found it on another topic of the forum.

And it works fine for me. Also works fine for someone else. But does not work for a third person (we are all on Mac)...

Maybe some char in the path could break max symbol/path.

for example if file name contains a slash or question mark etc.

Could you post path wich does not work ?

and make sure that only 2 // slashes are there ?

sprintf symout file://%s
