An unexpected error has occurred:

Semantic type EMMPairedENDSequences is invalid, either because it doesn't have a compatible directory format, or because it's not registered.

See above for debug info.

no idea how to solve it.

Hi @bontix77,

The error message:

Is telling you that EMMPairedENDSequences is not a valid type. That is, this looks like a simple typo...

The type should be EMPPairedEndSequences not EMMPairedENDSequences.

Pro tip:
You can run qiime tools list-types to show all available types in :qiime2:.
