Howdy campers,
I have a problem with the background worker stopping (for no reason I can determine).
While I don't think I have lost any captured data, I have had some images not renamed and many jpg-to-avi conversions fail (I do use my EOS 100D for planetary sometimes, instead of reconfiguring cameras). I can usually rename the image files, but ending up with 5000 .jpg files instead of 1 .avi is quite inconvenient.
The only clue I have found is that it usually happens if the camera accidentally disconnects or is intentionally disconnected while files are in the queue, though it happens when everything appears to be going well. Data collections works fine, but the background process just stop sometimes. It also happens if my disk gets too full during an imaging run (my bad).
The processes remain active in task manager, usually using memory and CPU resources as if it's running, but nothing happens - and I have left the computer running for days just to see if it catches up.
Closing BYEOS and reopening it will let it work properly again, but only on the subsequent data; the data already captured remains in the BYEOStemp/download folder unprocessed.
3 lines of resolution I am interested in:
1. Stop it from happening altogether.
2. Re-starting it so it will finish the job(s). It's not a terminal problem, but certainly a time-consuming inconvenience.
3. Manually starting the processes, particularly to convert jpeg collections to AVI files.
Any help appreciated.
Thanks,
John
