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!

Hey there, I was trying to add a ps2 game on launchbox, but it's been half an hour since it's stuck on updating local metadata from launchbox games database... why is that? Is it not working anymore?

Hey everyone. So I recently updated to the latest beta release of Launchbox (Beta 7) and when Launchbox was initializing, it got stuck at "Caching Playlists", which was one of the new features Jason implemented for this beta I believe. It was stuck for well over 5 minutes and I couldn't close the program unless I used task manager to end the task. Afterward I tried relaunching it and that time it loaded, however it continues to get stuck the majority of times right at "Caching Playlists". It's also worth noting that I received an error stating that my metadata.xml file is corrupted and recommending me to re open Launchbox to avoid other issues. I've received this error twice now. So far Launchbox keeps getting stuck and occasionally I get the same error that my metadata.xml file is corrupted. Launchbox is a great front end, and I thank Jason for developing this awesome program and everyone else who contributes to the community. I just need help with this one issue. Please, any help would be greatly appreciated. Here is the error: Metadata.xml file is corrupted. Please try closing and restarting LaunchBox.
