I can confirm it's getting stuck on Neo-Geo AES, Andro Dunos.. Downloading "Cart - Front" (1 of 5)...

Yes. I can confirm the same freezing/getting stuck, when trying to download EmuMovies media as well...

Yes! Thank you very much Jason! I installed the 11.7 beta earlier and so far it's been running without getting stuck. The 60s forced time-out seems to be working, now the program will at least continue after producing an error. As I'm writing this, it's about 30% complete pulling all media types for my 959 games and it has produced 42 errors so far, but it hasn't stopped. I wish you could make the error dialogbox copy-able so I can copy & paste the errors and save them, though.. And oh, if possible, could you make the time out user configurable? I think 60 seconds is unnecessarily long. I don't think it needs to wait 60s to find out there is an issue with the file. Looking at the look though, it seems that the errors are being produced, not because transmission failed, but because LB couldn't overwrite the media since it was being used by another process.. I don't have anything else open/running in the computer, so LB must be the one looking those images in another thread and preventing the download thread from overwriting them... 2020-09-22 08:47:50 AM Saving ListCache.xml... 2020-09-22 08:47:50 AM Saving Platforms.xml... 2020-09-22 08:47:51 AM Saving Settings.xml... 2020-09-22 08:47:51 AM DataManager.SaveInternal completed successfully. 2020-09-22 08:48:03 AM DataManager.SaveInternal started. 2020-09-22 08:48:04 AM Saving InputBindings.xml... 2020-09-22 08:48:04 AM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: The process cannot access the file 'C:\LaunchBox\Images\Cache-LB\.3D Boxes-e8a1608a-13e1-40ce-a509-73356ab4ce4c-304-471.png' because it is being used by another process. at System.IO.FileSystem.DeleteFile(String fullPath) 2020-09-22 08:48:04 AM EXCEPTION IGNORED: The process cannot access the file 'C:\LaunchBox\Images\Cache-LB\.3D Boxes-e8a1608a-13e1-40ce-a509-73356ab4ce4c-304-471.png' because it is being used by another process. at System.IO.FileSystem.DeleteFile(String fullPath) at Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows.Desktop.BoxImageCache.Qur6tqMqP(Object ) 2020-09-22 08:48:04 AM FIRST CHANCE EXCEPTION: The process cannot access the file 'C:\LaunchBox\Images\Cache-LB\.3D Boxes-f6d96aa4-3c6f-4729-a575-7585af27af7e-304-471.png' because it is being used by another process. at System.IO.FileSystem.DeleteFile(String fullPath) 2020-09-22 08:48:04 AM EXCEPTION IGNORED: The process cannot access the file 'C:\LaunchBox\Images\Cache-LB\.3D Boxes-f6d96aa4-3c6f-4729-a575-7585af27af7e-304-471.png' because it is being used by another process. at System.IO.FileSystem.DeleteFile(String fullPath) at Unbroken.LaunchBox.Windows.Desktop.BoxImageCache.Qur6tqMqP(Object ) Well, keep up the good work man! Hopefully you guys can resolve this for good in the final 11.7 And thanks again for looking into this..

Jason Carr, thanks for looking into this for us. I appreciate it. I think you might be right about the metadata links not being the issue. I just tried the get the meatadata again, using only GamesDB and not EmuMovies, and it' stuck again. It's trying to download "Arcade Mortal Kombat II", Cabinet 9afe9d96-d64e-48da-8b51-73e24c957106.png I checked the URL myself, and it does exist and using a web browser, I can pull it up https://images.launchbox-app.com/9afe9d96-d64e-48da-8b51-73e24c957106.png So the issue must be the transmission then.. something is causing LB to hang up when trying to retrieve a media and it doesn't auto-recover or maybe it's like you mentioned, the time-out is set to too high.. I remember leaving LB for hours and it would still be stuck.. I've been trying a few times, and each time it seems to be stuck at something different. Sometimes it happens right away, sometimes it can go on for a few minutes. I tried looking at the logs in the Logs directory, but it only tells you the media it's trying to download and no errors.. If there is another more detail log, please let me know.. I'd be glad to assist. Well, thanks for looking into this again... hope a solutions can be found soon..

In my case, I think LaunchBox is trying to download a media (.png) that doesn't exist. When I go to https://gamesdb.launchbox-app.com/ and try to look for the .png it's stuck trying to download, I don't see that image there. Not sure what the solution is, but this is frustrating... Can't be just us having this issue...

I'm running the latest LaunchBox/BigBox with the latest Windows10 on a i3-4130 PC with 16GB of memory and 250GB SSD and a Radeon HD5770. When I try to download the Metadata and Media for my game collection (less than 1000 from 9 platforms), it works for a little bit, then it eventually gets stuck/frozen trying to download a particular .png. Like right now, at the moment it's stuck downloading 4 file 7: Fanart - Background xxxxxxxxx.png for the game Puchi-Carat... Pressing cancel doesn't do anything but I can close the LaunchBox normally via alt-F4 or the clicking the X window button.. Also, if I try with less media types and/or only with a platform with few games, then it works.. but as soon I try to to download more media types or selecting a larger platform, the same thing happens.. It always gets stuck trying to download something... I'm not a premium member for EmuMovies, but I'm not downloading any videos or using premium features.. And I've also tried not using EmuMovies at all, with the same results... I don't think it's the issue with my computer or Windows or my Internet connection... Any ideas? Thank you!
