bikeking8 Posted January 17 Posted January 17 Import ROMs as usual but do not check the box pertaining to checking the local metadata When games are successfully imported and media is downloaded, click on "Tools\Download\Force Update Games Database Metadata" Select all newly added games and click on "Tools\Download\Update Metadata and Media for Selected Games" I have been running into the refresh loop a lot recently and found this is what enabled LB to actually import when I came across it. I tried not running LB as admin, updating LB, updating windows, updating GPU drivers, reinstalling mouse firmware, refreshing toaster BIOS, uninstalling and reinstalling Notepad using a bash script, hemming a pair of khakis, editing the Windows 98 registry subframe stack, reinstalling Windows from scratch off of a stack of 677 5 1/4" floppies, regexxing the query strudel and many other flavors of that's-not-the-problem-and-I'm-tired-of-pretending-it-is-Vanilla.

OkieDoke Posted March 18 Posted March 18 Add me to the list of people experiencing this issue. I figured it was that I had not played for a long while. I figured out the same work around as well. Thank you for this awesome software! Quote
chickenracer Posted April 26 Posted April 26 I have the same issue. The process never ends. My workaround was to update it manually via "force update games database metadata". But even that is not working 100% anymore. Quote
JoeViking245 Posted April 26 Posted April 26 There is a fix in place in the latest beta release (13.27-beta-3) that is requesting some end-user "stress testing". Quote - Local metadata package refreshes now use SHA-256 verification with retry handling and a shorter refresh path - Run a metadata refresh from Tools > Download Metadata and Media, from any import workflow that refreshes metadata, or from a metadata search, then confirm it completes successfully and feels faster now that the older extended validation steps have been replaced Quote

I don't know if Admin follows or will look at this thread. May want to post it in the 14.0 release thread where I know @AstroBob is 'following'. LaunchBox for Windows 14.0 Released! - News and Updates - LaunchBox Community Forums To clarify, it's getting stuck when 'updating' the local database before attempting to downloading metadata & media? And doing the Force Update prior to any 'downloading' resolves it? May also include your Windows version, using 14.0.1 (though I don't believe any changes were made to this between 14.0 and 14.0.1), your install is on a local drive vs on a lan and any other pertinent info that may help. (You may have previously provided this data, but my guess is they don't keep a running database of who's on which Windows version and PC setup/specs. ) I've tested a few times (v14.0.1), and it appears to work here. I know it 'takes some time', but it does complete. Don't recall if during the update if it appeared to stop/get stuck. But it does complete [then continue with the media download]. And it's notably 'faster' that it had been with previous versions. I haven't checked the time difference between updating the local database file during Update Metadata and Media for All Games vs Force Update. But I know in the past, the latter was definitely faster. Quote

So yes, LB gets stuck on "Applying Metadata" when trying to update metadata and media on certain imported rom files. Forcing the metadata update manually without actually downloading metadata or media for games works. LB is installed on a local M2 SSD, v14.0.1 is installed. Quote

Forcing the metadata update manually without actually downloading metadata or media for games works. LB is installed on a local M2 SSD, v14.0.1 is installed. That seems odd. Because the Applying Metadata happens after Updating ('refreshing') the local metadata [file]. e.g. When using Tools < Download < Update Metadata and Media for All Games... (or "for selected games"), I see it doing Downloading Extracting Verifying Applying Where the 1st 3 only occur the 1st time on a given day when running this (or when doing a Force Update). aka, updates at 24 hour(-ish) intervals. Also, you indicate it [only?] gets stuck applying metadata when importing certain ROM files. Grasping at straws, my guess is those ROMs being imported have a naming convention that is not typical for the platform and attempts to find an exact match for the game(s) is causing a 'hiccup'. However, this speculation doesn't explain why, when doing a Force Update 1st then applying the metadata, doesn't have this problem with those ROMs. Hopefully Admin will see this and chime in at some point. 1 Quote

Hmm, it's just a set of No Intro SNES roms that are imported, but I wanted to update the metadata and media. It was a fresh Launchbox install, too. I don't know why this is happening. To be honest, I didn't try it again after it failed. For now I just force the metadata update first. I'll try it with another set and report back if it still hangs. Maybe it was a one-time bug. Who knows. 1 Quote
SiriusVI Posted 23 hours ago Posted 23 hours ago (edited) @JoeViking245 I have some new info on this issue. Take a look at this log excerpt. What seems what causes the metadata update to be hanging at "Applying Metadata", is the fact that Launchbox wants to randomly "save" some of my platforms. This has been happening sometimes when closing Launchbox, too, resulting in the closing process to take very long as well. This is not to be confused with Launchbox creating a backup of the Data folder. It's a separate process that saves the platform xml files. Do you know why this is happening? I haven't changed anything in the platforms that Launchbox saves here: Spoiler Path = M:\LaunchBox\Metadata\Temp\MetadataRefresh\516e0f2e8d8749eb97be98d9d83c4830\Metadata.zip Type = zip Physical Size

And many many more Again, nothing was changed in these platforms, so to me it makes no sense that Launchbox would be saving anything. Any Idea what's happening? EDIT: I left the process running. Launchbox seems to have saved a considerable number of my platforms (though by nno means all of them). The process is now finnished after roughly 1 hour. Now the the "apply metadata" bar is gonne as well. Edited 22 hours ago by SiriusVI Quote

Any Idea what's happening? My only guess is (and it's a total guess), is that cloud sync is enabled. But don't know why it'd decide to save at this juncture. Unless it was part of a previous multi-thread operation. Quote
