RBU stopped working

Postby alex5908 » Thu Jun 17, 2021 5:28 pm

Hello,

I've been using RBU since yesterday and was happy about.
Today it's stopped working. The button "Rename" is greyish. The reinstall did not help.
I was renaming a lot of files which I downloaded from Tidal. It's not for commercial purpose. It's only for my personal use.
What is wrong? How can I fix the issue?

The "Rename" button can be greyish if no files are selected, or when none of the settings presents a different name for the "New Name" column.
Also, sometimes users will remove the checkmark from a setting, and this will forbid BRU from conducting anything inside of that setting.

Nope, I have not changed anything. It just got gray and that's it.
I've already managed to rename more than a hundred files successfully. Thus, I know how to do it correctly.
I guess the BRU considers me a "commercial" user I guess.

If your IP-address belongs to a list of known commercial addresses, then its going gray after the first 150 renames.
After this, all commercial users must purchase the commercial license, to continue legal use of the application.
Lol, it not really like that! But if you like to present a screenshot, Im sure a solution can be discovered.

Hi, BRU is free for personal use and does not check your IP address :)
The javascript renaming is the only feature that requires a commercial license.

Hi everybody.

Thanks for all the responses.
I was going to make a screenshot but...
For some reason BRU started to work again properly.
Hope it will last.
