Keep getting this message after running a backup (Freezes at 93%), have tried running the database repair but still getting it.

Seems to be something to do with cover scans did a backup without scans and it ran OK

The only thing i did before the backup was to run the "Clean Images Directory" since doing that i can only run a backup if i un-tick "Include cover scans"

Based on the error and description, I suspect you have 1 or more images that are corrupt.  I'm not quite sure the best way to track down the image(s) it's having issues with.  I don't believe there's anything in the program to help with this.  I looked at my Database Query plugin, but I don't see anything in there that would help track down the problem.

plus I'm wondering if you can remember what images you may have last been working on before the error came up.. there is feature on the task bar for ALL - sort by: Last Edited .

Thanks for all the advice, i refreshed all images which has cured the problem. Just a pity Profiler doesn't have some way of identifying corrupt images.

I am having the "Stream error read" message co me up every time I try to back up prior to closing the programme. Yes, I had tried the repair option before the backup... No it hasn't made any difference.

I keep sending the reports to Invelos and nothing changes. No response to my request for help.... what happen's next?

Obviously there has been a couple of upgrades since the first post in this thread, but where do I go to from here if the problem hasn't been fixed by now?

Hi Max,
Thanks for your post.
I am still considering that option, although I am hesitating. I generally prefer using my own scanned images rather than the online images. I have colour profiled, clearer/sharper, correct sized, cropped where neccessary, images for my profile entries and deliberately avoid using the auto update feature.
I only download images for profiles in my wishlist or ordered lists. As soon as I enter a new DVD into my collection, I scan my own images into my updated profiles which I then lock.

Generally speaking, prior to this issue starting a few weeks ago, I would always run the Database repair option once a week, update online profile, then run backup in that order.

I have a backup server. If I clean out the images directory, I will try and restore images from the back up and failing that, I will do a restore of images for each profile one at a time.

A total pain in the whatsit, but maybe someone has a better idea.

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong, but Refreshing all Images will not replace any images you have locked.
All my profiles are locked to prevent accidental auto update.
If you clean out your images directory and then restore from a backup, won't that just reintroduce the same problem you're experiencing now?

I would be restoring images from a back up prior to the last known backup before this issue started.
