Cannot delete sequence - stuck 'uploading' or 'processing'

[Nick-Tallguy]

User=Tallguy A sequence became 'stuck' when my computer rebooted part way through uploading. When attempting to fix this, I uploaded again, and now have 2 identical sequences, one of which is still labelled 'uploading' - https://openstreetcam.org/details/1354727/0/track-info I've attempted to delete this sequence using the trash icon, but receive the message 'There was a problem deleting sequence!'

I have the same problem with https://openstreetcam.org/details/1357738/0/track-info which has failed to finish upload correctly, even though it appeared to finish uploading without an error.

Sequence (only 1 picture in the sequence) https://openstreetcam.org/details/1355097/0/track-info is stuck reading 'processing' and again cannot be deleted.

I am going to jump on this issue to report my own track stuck in “uploading”. I was uploading via the scripts and had some sort of interruption which caused the error. I am unable to delete it myself but am fine with this track being either manually stopped or deleted.

Workaround: in the folder of photos you're trying to upload, you'll fine count_file.txt and sequence_file.txt. Copy these files into a new folder.

Now it's been awhile since I've done this, so I'm not sure which method worked, but try this: Open count_file.txt and see what the highest number is (they might not be in order, so find it near the end). Copy and paste that many photos into your new folder with the text files. Try uploading that folder. Because the sequence file is in there, OSC assumes that the stuck sequence has as many photos as are in the folder now. As that now matches count_file.txt, it should finish and close the upload. Then you can delete the sequence and start over.

If that doesn't work, you could try editing count_file.txt to say 1, copy one photo into the folder, and do as above.

Basically, I think that the error with deleting comes from it not being "finished", so you have to trick it into finishing first.

I could make a command to force finish a sequence. @pkoby is right the currently the sequnce is not available for deletion until it is processed. On the latest version of the scripts this should no longer be an issue. I am currently working on a new release with a cuple of requested features and probably will add this also.

The issue for the upload scripts was addressed so i will close this issue here. Since the issue for the website was also addressed if anyone in the future can reproduce this issue should follow the instructions form the linked issue. https://github.com/kartaview/openstreetcam.org/issues/241
