Video formats suck +--------------------- +One would expect video formats to allow for a wide range of tags. Things like +writer, director, main actors, original author, etc. But most of them only +provide ONE tag: title... +Planned workaround: tag guessing (see TODO). + +2. Random hang +-------------- +Something I encountered and don't understand: sometimes, seemingly randomly, +the call to wait, to retrieve the exit status of a worker, does not return, +though the worker *has* exited. This happens rarely, but it will probably hit +you if you have more than 20.000 tasks to run. When this happens, just hit +Control-C and re-run AtOM to resume transcoding. + +Symptoms: +- Progress does not update anymore +- a pstree only show one child process: sqlite3 +- strace()ing shows the script process stuck on waitpid() + +Please let me know if this hits you, or if you have any idea as to why this is +happening and how to avoid it.
