This issue has several possible causes:

  • You ran a restore on your system (Windows XP)

  • The FLEXnet Licensing Service has been stopped and is disabled (Windows)

Solution 1: Verify that the executable for the application is located in the folder to which it was installed.

Hi, I love your script but since I installed Mac OS Sierra I get 'The action “Run Shell Script” encountered an error.' every time I run it.

I investigated and this is the error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File 'main_script.py', line 95, in
notify.notify('Sub-Downloader: Success!', 'Subtitles Found', 'The subtitles are stored in a file named ' + file_name + '.srt', delay=1, sound=True)
File '/Users/Username/.utilities/subtitle-downloader/lib/notify.py', line 11, in notify
notification.setUserInfo_(userInfo)
objc.error: NSInvalidUnarchiveOperationException - Class 'OC_PythonDictionary' has a superclass that supports secure coding, but 'OC_PythonDictionary' overrides -initWithCoder: and does not override +supportsSecureCoding. The class must implement +supportsSecureCoding and return YES to verify that its implementation of -initWithCoder: is secure coding compliant.

Since is not actually used I just disabled the line in order to fix it:

#notification.setUserInfo_(userInfo)
