Is there an existing issue for this?

  • I have searched the existing open and closed issues

Current Behavior

My issue seems identical with the issue reported below:

https://github.com/lidarr/Lidarr/issues/2035

I disabled "proxy" in Lidarr, but it doesn't fix the issue.

Expected Behavior

I see there are a couple of other issues that are closed about this, it seems not enough information was provided to track down the problem. It happens very consistently for me so I'll have a go at it.

When there are too many files for the manual import call to process, import stops and gives me an error message

Steps To Reproduce

Go to /wanted/missing
Click on Manual Import
Select a directory with enough files that it'll take longer than one minute for the ImportDecisionMaker to read the files and IdentificationService to identify the albums.

Environment

- OS: 
- Lidarr: 2.1.7.4030-ls162 by linuxserver.io
- Docker Install: Yes
- Using Reverse Proxy: No
- Browser:
- Database: Sqlite 3.44.2

What branch are you running?

Master

👋 @steve1977, In order to help you further we'll need to see logs. You'll need to enable trace logging and replicate the problem that you encountered. Guidance on how to enable trace logging can be found in our troubleshooting guide.

You need to provide trace logs containing the issue you're describing. Your logs don't provide any errors at all, just normal processing of unmapped files.

No errors in this one either, but looks to me you're trying to load the whole directory of /data/usenet/Music/.

This is my "import folder". I am trying to contain one single album that is pretagged by Picard. Unfortunately, it is a 5,000 track album. Maybe, this exceeds Lidarr capability to import it?

5000 tracks album? What do you think? 😂

What album is that?

My guess is going to be yes, it takes too long to process them so the UI gives up eventually.

There's a reason in Radarr there's a limit for max 100 movies in the manual import.

You are not gonna like it but split the files into folders of 60 items and manually import each folder separately

I can do more than 60 ;-) And this wouldn't be the worst outcome.

However, it also doesn't work. Once I import 2,000-ish, I cannot even import one single file. Probably related to lidarr scanning the folder for existing files.

5000 tracks album? What do you think?

It is failing for me with a couple hundred. Trying to import a downloaded artist discography. What I expect is for it to load, with paging if necessary.
