[Bug]: after 1.7.0 update -> Extras tab / batch from directory/ upscale stops randomly

[Rojinski]

Checklist

• [ ] The issue exists after disabling all extensions

• [ ] The issue is caused by an extension, but I believe it is caused by a bug in the webui

What happened?

upscaling images by using "Batch From Directory" stops in the process at a random moments. It doesn't show the pictures that have been done. And i get this messaage belowon the image window -> "OSError: unrecognized data stream contents when reading image file". Never had that issue.

Steps to reproduce the problem

1. go to "Extra" tab
2. go to "Batch from directory"
3. enter the location of the directory where your images are in "Input directory" (try with more than 6 pictures). If needed, enter the location of your "output directory"
4. check the "Show result images" box
5. choose 4x for the resize option
6. Choose your upscaler 1 (i use 8x_NMKD-Superscale_150000_G)
7. No upscaler 2
8. click on "generate"

What should have happened?

Normally, before the last update (1.7.0), there was no problem at all and the upscaling worked perfectly until the end of its process. I hope you will find what's wrong. :) For now, I'm using SDNext to do that job.

What browsers do you use to access the UI ?

Mozilla Firefox

Additional information

If I use SDNext, i have no problem upscaling images from A1111.

Here's my screen

[slonce70]

Me and my friends (3 people) have the same problem.... Can't improve my photo folder - never had a problem before. Reinstalled from 0 stable, the problem remains. Then 300 does and error hits, then 30 and error... Never had the problem before.

[mprz1024]

I'm impacted by this; I noticed it in both 1.6 and 1.7. The errors happen entirely at random on images that work the next time through, whether they come first or not. It seems to be a bug in PIL, perhaps Automatic1111 could just retry?

Here's another example exception trace:

I think i found a workaround: Just close down the browser window after you hit generate. (Was able to generate over 150 images without interruption)

I think its a race condition introduced with the new image preview and Progress bar feature.

:) My solution, for the moment, is using SDNext to do the batch upscales... :/

Yes, it seems it's a real bug... I've closed my browser window to test the idea of @p80ric but it doesn't work for me... The bug is still there today. :(

Same issue

Same issue

And no answer, no reaction since 3 weeks... It's just annoying to use another repo to make upscales (directory batch)...

[p80ric]

I can confirm it also happens with all addons disabled!

I know the solution - but you won't see the image generation. The problem is LIVE image display - maybe someone will find how to disable just for upscale. I haven't looked. Here's what I disabled and now upscales fine

@slonce70 and others in this thread: indeed this is a bug and the workaround is to keep previews disabled when you use the extras batch tab. How do we make it happen quickly? Simply go to Settings, User interface/User interface, and add live_previews_enable to quick settings, then apply and reload the UI.

You'll gain a checkbox on top so you can one-click disable/reenable this without going to settings and finding the right one again every time. (I also use this for sd_vae, CLIP_stop_at_last_layers (CLIP skip) and show_progress_every_n_steps which are settings you may want to change very often but are buried deep within settings.)

Still an issue. Another annoying change is that ever since the old "preprocess images" got replaced with batch from directory, the resulting filenames are no longer kept the same (original filenames with a numerical prefix). Is there no way to get the old preprocess back in the latest A1111?

[Rojinski]

I wonder why nobody is answering something about that "bug". Even a "we don't know what is the cause of the pb" could be great :)

It seems the problem has been fixed with the last update to version 1.8 !
