Beat saber crashed by SongBrowserSongMetadata.json

[Mofuka]

(I can not speak English very well, So i used a translator)

BeatSaber crashed when using this plugin on 1.20.0 and 1.21.0 versions

So i tried delete "SongBrowserSongMetadata.json" file

then BeatSaber was not crashed

But, that file will be regenerated

must delete the file before running BeatSaber each time

So is there a way to prevent that file being created?

I found a solution

goto BeatSaber -> UserData

and click file Properties for SongBrowserSongMetadata.json

and click the Security tab and deny all permissions.

Then will be no crash, no regenerated

I'm wondering if this feature using the SongMetaData file needs to be made optional and off by default.

goto BeatSaber -> UserData

and click file Properties for SongBrowserSongMetadata.json

and click the Security tab and deny all permissions.

Then will be no crash, no regenerated

how did you do this?

Also noticed SongBrowserSongMetadata.json is getting regenerated each time the game is launched. I am pretty sure it's caused by this arcane bug in BSIPA: nike4613/BeatSaber-IPA-Reloaded#82
Fixed this issue locally by changing type of AddedAt field to string

Next release fixes this and offers an option to disable it if it causes issues in the future.
