Windows cannot find "(file destination)". Make sure that you typed the name correctly, and then try again error.

Did you read the installation instructions already?

Yes. I know I'm not using the official versions of Ableton and Max but I thought there might still be a solution if this is the only error. I have native spleeter installed and working separate from Ableton and Max 4 Live.

Describe the issue
When I try to run the Spleeter M4L device I get this error message from the image below.

Info:

• Using spleeter-native
• OS: Windows 10 Home
• Ableton version 11
• Max version 8.3.1

Thanks for your work on this. I'll figure this out one way for another. I'd actually really like to make an improved version at some point that has a selector for the 2,4, and 5 stem options.

it's been so long since i've looked at this, but my first thought was are you sure max/ableton/spleeter all have access to C:\? seems like it's a permissions issue

Thank you for taking the time to return to this and reply to my issue. Your work is still being appreciated!
I'm looking into the permission right now. I use the same directory when using Spleeter from command prompt and I also use the same directory as user folder in Ableton along with M4L device storage. With that being said I'll see what I can find along these lines.

I gave Max full access and the error is still occurring. The way it reads is that Spleeter4Max
is looking in the wrong location for the audio file.
I tried consolidating the audio file in Ableton before using Spleeter4Max which prints it to an Ableton Temp folder. Despite doing this and then selecting the track for splitting the error message still refers to its original location prior to consolidation.

this is the line of code where it gets the file location using the Max API: https://github.com/diracdeltas/spleeter4max/blob/feature/native-spleeter/main.js#L11

it's possible this API doesn't work the same way in whatever version of ableton/max you are using?
