File not processed when being the first one (list empty)

[pjotrek-b]

Disclaimer: I don't have the time right now to properly debug/test the behavior to report it with enough details :( Yet, I add this issue so I don't forget it ;)

Fresh MediaConch installation (v17.08 / Windows7, 64bit):

• Drag & drop a videofile (with existing sidecar) in the "Checker"
• File shows up in "Results" section, but stays "in queue" forever.
• Same behavior when using "Choose file".
• When I add another file, this 2nd file is being processed normally.
• When I then remove & re-add the first file, then the 1st file is now being processed.

I've tried reversing the order in which I add the files: It's always the 1st file - and only if the Results list was empty.

a videofile (with existing sidecar)

What do you mean by "sidecar"? Is it the case for any file i.e. always impossible to use MediaConch with 1 file?

Sorry. Confused QCTools with Mediaconch: The files had QCTools-sidecar files (.qctools.xml.gz) - but they are irrelevant for Mediaconch. My bad.

I don't know if it's always impossible to use Mediaconch with 1 file, but that's what I want to test, but hadn't had the time yet.

I tested with v17.08 / Windows10, 64bit, and I can use it with one file. For the moment, I can not reproduce the issue. Note that I think I sometimes got a file not being parsed, but not in that scenario, I know that there is some refactoring to do in order to be sure at 100% that all files are always parsed in the GUI (no problem, I think, on the CLI). Here, I am a bit afraid because it looks like that you always get this issue, and I can not reproduce that.

Thanks for checking it out.

I'll try to reproduce it. Don't have a Windows machine at hand right now, therefore the delay ;) Had the behavior on 4 different machines during the teaching in switzerland.

Don't put your time into this until I had time to reproduce it :wink:
