Error Code in CSS Log
Hey Folks,
I get this error code when I load my live set.
I do not get the error code when I open a new or a different set in Ableton which seems strange.

:
Can’t obtain live set at this time
This error is definitely not CSS script related, I see it in Live’s log file when certain Live sets load from disk regardless of whether a CSS, DIY, or No custom “remote script” is configured in Live’s midi options. This thread helped me figure that out. (and seems to be the only “valid” hit my Google search bubbled up to the top results page)
In my experience, this error only seems to get logged when the .als file loading from disk has “Max 4 Live” devices saved in it, maybe DIY M4L devices, maybe “user library” presets for DIY M4L devices, I haven’t tried hunting much further. But, for example, different sets containing the same DIY M4L device preset(s) don’t cause the same error logs when they load from disk. So, YMMV.
The logged error also seems to resolve itself before the Live set finishes loading completely, because remote scripts seem to operate normally after Live hands control to the user. I think that’s what “at this time” in the error message implies, I haven’t seen “related follow-on issues” otherwise.
I also agree that deleting the _MxDCore “script” is a bad idea, other “Live functionality” definitely depends on its content.

Agreed.
Something is loading before the Live set and causing the error.
You could right about it being a Max4Live device.
