StreamFab for Windows PC/SF Crash During Downloading/Processing/Remuxing

[y2jerichool]

I have had few crashes already (PC and SF) while SF was downloading and doing its thing in the background. Now I'm not 100% sure what happens with the active file during such a crash. I'm worried that I could end up missing a an episode of a series and not notice it.

Will it be gone from the download queue or will it only be removed from the queue when it has been completed 100%? So when a crash happens during remuxing for example, I would just have to restart the entire downloading process?

You would think with the crashes I had I should know but it's tough keeping a good overview when you bulk download a lot. Maybe someone of you has a definitve answer to it.

Cannot be saved and therefore does not end up in “Downloaded”

That's how it should be – no crashes during DL for me, so no empirical values

Correct, there is no resume

Some folks get mad when I suggest this, but when you have 'crashes' it's a very good idea to run SFC /scannow command from TERMINAL (run as admin). I do this after every crash or bizarro thing and often finds something to fix in the Windows permissions and so forth. If already doing so, pardon the intrusion

I run that command relatively infrequently, but when I do, it almost always finds something, and almost never fixes anything that I am trying to fix. SFC finding a problem is probably most likely tied to some update that did not apply correctly.
