@C-Beats, just some feedback on the 404 session expired issue you requested. I updated to beta 3 and tried a 'download metadata and media' for my whole collection. I left it overnight as just the metadata download was taking more than 2hrs. When I checked this morning I could see the process had stalled about 1000 items into a roughly 10k item download. No error, just that the download was stalled on a specific item and could not continue. The error counter had 5 entries, 4 were 'file does not exist', the last one being a 404 session expired error. I closed launchbox and restarted, this time only around a dozen items downloaded before it got stuck. I tried a final time and also only got a few more items in before it got stuck on an item again. These were different items each time. Also, I was getting the crash message when I closed launchbox which I guess is the same everyone else was getting. I then installed normal 11.2 over the top and download running fine now, about 3k items in so far. Hope that helps somehow!!

Hi Everyone. I'm a relatively new lifetime bbox user so I have only come along since 11.12 was out - so I have no idea what the emumovies download experience was like before. I certainly have been using launchbox intensely since then to add all my collections and I have run into the same 404 download issue as has been documented by @vertigoelectric. That is, the initial scanning of all the systems (downloading metadata) takes so long (nearly an hour) that when the media download starts I immediately have the error count ticking up for every item. My solution so far has been to close lbox and reopen as soon as the media download portion starts. This means I have to wait for the emumovies portion of the search to happen again but at least when the download starts I get less errors. I still receive 404 errors but much lower. Interestingly I seem to get about a 10% 404 error rate on the first few hundred media downloads but this tapers off and ends up being perhaps 1% error rate in a 20,000 item total. Not sure if this helps the current investigation but thought the feedback might end up being useful. Also for reference I am in Australia though my internet connection is good speed for here (approx 80Mbps down / 50Mbps up) and I have a high spec PC.
