Error "LR has encountered an error in its cache of the preview reading and needs to stop smoking".
The message continues: "LR will attempt to solve this problem, the next time that he launched" this started after I tried to load an add-on which identifies duplicates for deletion. Unfortunately, stop and restart LR5 guard going in a circle. LR5 turns on W7 professional, 64-bit. If I uninstall LR5, I'll be able to re - install from creative cloud and that will fix the problem? I deleted the offending module already.

Close Lightroom and navigate to your Lightroom Catalog folder.
The default location is usually in images.
Remove the file in the catalog folder that ends Previews.lrdata
Do not touch the catalog itself that ends.lrcat
Then try to re-launch of Lightroom.

How can I fix it?
Hi melotam,
It seems that something in your preview cache has been altered. No worries - you can delete preview cache and Lightroom are going to rebuild it, even if it may take some time, depending on the size of your catalog.
To remove the preview cache, follow these steps:
1. quit Lightroom.
2. in your operating system, look for your Lightroom Catalog. Catalogs are generally/Pictures/Lightroom on Mac and my Pictures\Lightroom on Windows.
3. Locate the folder whose name ends in "Previews.lrdata" and delete it. (note, may you enjoy a folder whose name ends with "Smart Previews.lrdata." You shouldn't need to remove that one).
Once the preview folder is deleted, restart Lightroom. You can see gray thumbnails in the grid for a few moments that Lightroom starts to rebuild your preview cache.
Let us know if that helps.
Kind regards

LR has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and needs to stop smoking.
I have the trial version of Lightroom 30 days. I was able to use it for a week, but the last weeks of 1,5 to 2, it was locked up and that gives this error message. How to solve the problem? And how to reset the free 30 day trial? I wish I had the time using the product before deciding on the annual contract.
"LR has encountered an error when reading the preview cache and needs to stop smoking. Lightroom will attempt to solve this problem, the next time it starts. »
Thank you.
Delete the cache of the overview of the Lightroom folder in your pictures folder if you used the default location. It has the extension .lrdata.
You cannot reset the trial period.

"Lightroom encountered and error while reading its preview cache and needs to stop smoking.
Earlier today when you import a session the computer froze. After manually shut down and restart I get this error every time I open LR, "Lightroom encountered and error during playback of sound preview cache and need to stop smoking" and the application does not open. He said LR would try and correct this error the next time I opened it, but the error remains. Help please!
Rename the folder "Lightroom 5 catalog Previews.lrdata" to "Lightroom 5 catalog Previews.lrdata.old"
Thank you

"Lightroom has encountered an error during playback of he is seen hiding and must leave" appears when trying to open LR 5.7 after laptop crashed.
Hi Adobemun,
Seems that your preview cache is corrupt.
You must go to the location where your catalog is stored and get rid of Previews.lrdata (not .lrcat file) then, launch Lightroom and it would recreate the previews itself.
Kind regards

This persisted for 2 days and it has not set itself. help please.
Click OK close Lightroom.

By default, the location would be in Pictures\Lightroom folder

Your catalog is stored on the hard drive.
By default, it is stored in Pictures\Lightroom
You must browse to folder Pictures\Lightroom via File Explorer and delete the Previews.lrdata folder.

Can I get an explanation of what past?
You must remove the preview Cache.
It is located in the same folder as the catalog in Lightroom. The name of the cache an extract ends with Previews.LRDATA and should be deleted. Not to be confused with *. LRCAT, which should not be deleted.

I let close put it keeps appearing
I guess you know where your file catalog (lrcat). In the same folder is a folder of lrdata of previews that you must delete or rename in the Explorer, then start LR again.
If I made erroneous assumptions that above, sorry, and we will go back on it from the beginning.

Hi moshek1955,
Greetings.
- If you only deleted the cache of the preview I doubt that there is a possibility of missing images.
- Please make sure you are in the right/most recent catalog.
- However if please check below link and follow the instructions.
