      Hi,
      I'm scraping a bunch of games and what I'm finding - whether I use screenscraper.fr or TheGamesDB, I'm finding scraping pauses and then sometimes continues. However what I've found is that it pauses mid scrape and if I move my controller (say use a d-pad or analogue stick) the system continues scraping.

      Also, it will often display an error saying network error. I click Retry and it continues, but that doesn't happen if I move the controller.

      Is this a known issue? I'm on 4.8.8 (Raspberry Pi 4) and I've upgraded scraper.

        @mathan416 could it be a conflict with the starting screensaver? Have you activated the screensaver?
        Just an idea, because i had a similar issue which had this reason.

                @mathan416 Does this happen when the screensaver is started or later when the system is reaching "sleep" state (see Screensaver Options -> System sleep time: If it is 0 then there is no "sleep" timeout but only the screensaver timeout).
