I'm currently trying to reproduce this so that I can get it fixed, but I haven't been able to reproduce it yet. Would you be willing to zip up and PM me your LaunchBox\Data folder so that I can test with it? Edit: Also, do you remember which boxes you checked when you ran the clean up media process? I cannot remember which I checked off my head but I remember having checked all but 1, I'll check later once my mass redownload is done. Also here's my data folder. The only thing to know is that my Launchbox is installed on my D:/ drive (dunno if that has an impact on it) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That I genuinly cannot say because I started the process as I was leaving to do some errands in town figuring it would take a while and I was gone for 2 hours, it was done by the time I got back but for how long? can't say Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have reports of this happening to both @Xirvet and @sialivi, both of whom have been very helpful in figuring this issue out, and I really appreciate it. It turns out that both users are running MalwareBytes, which is (yet again) throwing false positives and murdering a bunch of processes during the image scanning operations, which is causing this issue. My apologies to you both and anyone else who might run into this. I will have to tweak the code to handle this situation more gracefully. There's really nothing I can do to prevent MalwareBytes from ruining things, but I can stop the process at that point and tell the user not to continue, now that I know what's going on.

Hold up, I checked cause I wasn't sure if this new PC I had for a year (which is the one I run LB on) had Malwarebytes and turns out it does not so that dosen't seem to be the case for me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jason Carr Posted July 10, 2020 Author Share Posted July 10, 2020 11.2-beta-1 is out now with a hopeful fix for the issues that @Xirvet and @sialivi were having with Clean Up Media. As it turns out, it was not MalwareBytes, but rather the differences in number formatting between the US and other countries. Countries/systems that use a comma instead of a decimal point were the culprit. Hopefully this beta fixes it, and then I can put out another official release. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could be something particular with my install but after updating to 11.2 beta 1 LB never gets past the Initializing splash. I've let it go for about 10 minutes; however, I suspect that no amount of time will result in anything as the process shows no CPU or disk utilization, with the only noteworthy detail being that it has a 7-zip console as a child process that also shows no activity.

DOS76 Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 try going into your updates folder and running the last installer again. make sure you install it right over top of your current install and not nested inside of your current folder.

Most likely, it's having trouble updating the library folders. Try deleting the LaunchBox\ThirdParty\CefSharp and LaunchBox\ThirdParty\VLC folders. They should be recreated on startup (but for some reason something is probably interfering with the deletion process). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Try deleting the LaunchBox\ThirdParty\CefSharp and LaunchBox\ThirdParty\VLC folders. They should be recreated on startup (but for some reason something is probably interfering with the deletion process). After doing this I watched as the program re-deleted and re-re-created those two folders upon startup as they should. This did make it so the 7-zip process was no longer present but LB still hung at "Initializing" on the splash screen. When the 7-zip process is running it does do some work for a few moments before becoming inactive. The installer for 11.2 final seems to have just gone up (just one beta?) and that too results in a stuck startup for me. Using the 11.1 installer to revert to that non-beta version has allowed me to start it again. Not sure what the issue is, but both my Logs folder and error.log are empty (I'm assuming these are only populated if an actual error occurs and there is no verbose logging) so I'm not sure how I can provide much more information other than anything you'd request specifically.
