What to do? Very often a playlist will start, and then just stall halfway through for no reason, no erros come up etc. This happens alot for me, alot with bigger Playlist's. Only way ive found to sometimes get around it is , start a smaller playlist in files and load the bigger one behind it? But sometimes they all stall out at the exact same point. Its odd. Tryingto work my way through issues.

Something similar has been happening to me. Check the actual storage location where the web UI stores downloads. It may be finished downloading, it just doesn't reflect that on the web ui

#

I haven't been able to locate the storage of the web UI, so I turn that feature off

#

There's a flag to change the output directory to the default, it's called --web-use-output-dir

#

That helps me identify where it's putting them. However, since I've been going through all this trouble, I am about ready to just give up on the web UI because it's so damn buggy and just use the cli

#

I hope this is somewhat helpful @orchid quarry thumbs

Yeah thank you , it’s mainly I’ve experienced on larger playlists. Smaller ones work perfectly. Sometimes I start the process with a smaller list then try to smack the big one behind it

I've been running it in docker with no cache. When the playlist breaks I'll delete everything on the page and hard refresh and clear my browser cache

#

Worst comes to worst I restart the docker container but sometimes even then the problem persists
