DLNA "Thread Aborted" error

mandude22

Basically what happens is... If you click around in the folder structure too quickly, you get a "THREAD ABORTED" error that is placed in the middle of your screen and you can't do anything about it other than quick the app and restart it. You can still click the folders in the background around the error message if they are there, but you can't close the error.

I originally thought this just had to do with my plex hosted DLNA server, but it just seems to be easier to trigger through there. It happens with Universal Media Server too. This has been happening for months now and it's pretty annoying.

The exact error is:

"Thread was being aborted.
-> Thread was being aborted"

Found this screenshot on my quest 3: https://ibb.co/zrr6QnW
I assume based on the fact that I'm on the home screen that I was hitting back a bunch of times trying to get the damn thing to go away.

philpw99 mandude22 hey guys, could you please let me know what do you mean that you "click too quickly"? Is there a way you could provide a video on how you get this error?

Same problem here. Using Quest 3 with Universal Media server.
DLNA is my preferred way to view VR videos with alpha, therefore I just recently found this annoying error.
If I click on a normal folder too quickly, this error will show up and cannot click on anything. I have to close the whole app and try again.

I rebooted the headset right before doing this and went straight into deovr. It seems to be connected to exiting a video and changing directories while there are still circles on the videos in that folder.

Recreation steps:
1) open deo vr and connect to a dlna server.
2) go to a folder that has a lot of large files in it, aka vr videos
3) while you still have some circles on videos due to thumbnails being loaded, open a video. you can take your time here if you want. the duration you spend in the video doesnt seem to matter.
4) close the video and while there are still circles, go to the directory above the current one.

the size of the videos and the quantity of them seem to play a part here. I tried making a small plex server with video game recordings to reproduce it, but i couldn't.

While the error is displayed, you can't click on anything, but the b button does bring you up a directory when you hit it. That can take you back to the home screen but the error remains until you force close deovr.

Also, one time when trying to reproduce this (with the exact recreation steps above), deovr completely froze, so there are multiple bugs here.

This happens to me too on DLNA. As a workaround, I back out all the way to the Home screen and click the Re-Center button. The Thread message goes away and allows me to navigate normally again, this time, hopefully, more slowly so as to not trigger the error.

Have also had this issue. It has been around since 1.5 years at least. I just got used to clicking slower. I find it happens more often if there is lots of files in a folder and can also happen if you scroll at max speed down the list then back up again. If you do that 2 or three times and also try to change folders its probably gonna error.
