Re: Can't restore job state due to data type mismatch:

Right,

All done and sorted.

I don't know what went wrong but I've fixed it.

I simply deleted ~/.dvdrip-master/master.conf

started dvdrip-master again and everything was happy.

I hope this helps anyone else who has this problem in the future.

I wouldn't mind someone pointing out the errors of my ways or why this 
happen though, I would rather learn from the experience than just know 
I've sorted it and risk repeating it.

Regards,

Laurence
