Hi,

I am sure I have configured something wrong and this is not actually a bug but would really appreciate some help.

When I run any flexget command other than flexget --test execute and flexget -V I get the following output:

There is a FlexGet process already running for this config, sending execution there.
Traceback (most recent call last):

TypeError: type() argument 1 must be string, not unicode

I have tried reinstalling Flexget and cannot find any information online about this issue. I'm using Python 2.7.9, pip2 and Flexget 2.6.1.

Thank you very much for your help.
