Filebot Freezing during Data Match
Posted: 24 Nov 2016, 09:43
I am running Filebot on Manjaro Linux, installed from the Arch AUR repository.
Filebot version is 4.7.2.
The Java environment is jre8-openjdk version 8.u112, with java-openjfx version 8.u76.
All other java applications on my system run without issue.
Installation went smoothly, the application launches fine. I click on Rename tab. I am able to add files into the Original Files listbox, and I then set the episode name format. I click on Match button, click on TheTVDB, a dialog box appears for TV show names that require selection, during this process of selecting the different the show's name, this dialog box freezes, completely hanging the application.
I presume this is a modal dialog box, so I have no access to the main application window beneath. The only option is to send a KILL signal to the process. I do not like having to do that. Closing the application does nothing, other signals sent to the process has no effect, and via my process monitor it looks like the java runtime environment has hung.
I have experimented with very small file sets (ie 1-5) and gradually increased in size. I would say 95% of the time the application hangs after prompting me to select an ambiguous TV show name. It has only succeeded on very small file sets (ie < 5), and very rarely then.
If the data matching succeeds and the new file names are generated in the New Names list box then renaming has worked 100% of the time. Data fetching is the issue here, not the physical renaming of the file once the new name has been generated.
I don't know much about troubleshooting java apps and the java runtime environment, so what other info is required to help in troubleshooting this issue? What would cause an application to hang retrieving data from the internet?
Thanks in advance.
