Single analysis GUI becomes unresponsive

[popkowiersma]

When I try to upload a 2.9 GB WAV Audiomoth file in BN v. 2.3.0 the program becomes unresponsive. Loading file in sound editor and saving it again doen not help. When I use option of Batch file analysis it does work. Any ideas what is going on here?

best wishes, popko

Are you using the "Single file" tab?
If so, uncheck the spectrogram generation before you load the audio file. For large files spectrogram generation can take up alot of time.

Dear Josef, I used the single file tab. I've tried again with spectogram generation unchecked, but the problem remains. Small file (at least up to 200 MB, flac) load well, but files of 1 GB (flac in this case) do not. The BirdNet window gets completely black and becomes unresponsive. Best, popko
