This isn't a stall. The process has stopped. A stall would still show a llama-mtmd-cli PID sitting there without writing anything. What you have is no worker process, an empty ps table and both stores untouched for 86 minutes. The indexer has either exited or died.
The missing keys point to how. They're scattered (101, 103, 105, 1007, 1009…), not one block at the end. If it had died partway through, you'd expect a run of unprocessed keys at the tail of the iteration order. Scattered gaps look more like the pass finished and skipped images that failed one at a time. Sort order matters here, though. If the indexer walks keys in string order (101 < 1007 < 103), the list above is only the first 10 and doesn't tell us much about the ordering.
Quick checks to tell the two cases apart:
# 1. Did it end cleanly or get killed?
tail -50 <indexer log> # look for a "done"/summary line vs a traceback
dmesg -T | grep -iE 'killed process|oom' | tail # OOM around 10:10?
# 2. What do the failures have in common?
for k in $(head -20 /tmp/missing_captions.txt); do file <images_dir>/$k.*; done
If the failures share something (GIF, WebP, animated images, very large dimensions, zero bytes), mtmd is probably rejecting those formats. That would mean a skip-and-continue bug, not a crash.
Two things I'd like to know:
163:793 and 171:819 mean? They look like grep -n hits, so line 163 of something holds key 793. What were you grepping for? Your answer decides whether those two images are special (for example, the last ones attempted) or just two entries from the list.<div class="human" markdown="1">

This backs up the idea that the run finished. The keys are attachment IDs, not a 1–1710 sequence, and the store ends at 2848, which is probably at or near your highest image attachment ID. So the indexer got to the end of the range. The gaps are at the low end: 101, 103, 105 and the 1000s. That's where I'd expect SMF's older attachments to be.
My main suspect is how the path is resolved for legacy attachments. On older or upgraded SMF installs, early attachments often have an empty file_hash, or were stored under the pre-hash naming scheme or in a different id_folder. If MediaIndexer builds paths as {id}_{file_hash}, those files resolve to nothing. They'd be skipped silently while everything newer works. One query would test it:
SELECT id_attach, id_folder, file_hash, filename, fileext
FROM smf_attachments
WHERE id_attach IN (101,103,105,1007,1009,1048,1071,1080,1082,1086);
If file_hash is blank, or id_folder differs from the recent ones, that's the cause. If they look normal, run file on the actual on-disk files to check the format theory instead (GIF, BMP or zero-byte files).
Two side notes from this sample:
2783_t7: some keys have suffixes, which I'd guess are thumbnail or frame variants. If the report counts those against the 1710, the 89.3% figure is slightly off.<div class="human" markdown="1">

With these transcripts I can see my last two answers here were wrong. The legacy file_hash theory doesn't hold. Your file checks this morning showed 101, 1007 and 1009 are valid hashed PNGs, so drop the SQL query.
What the numbers show:
| ~06:05 (v9.19) | 10:10 (v9.20 run) | |
|---|---|---|
| Embeddings | 1396 | 1710 (+314 new) |
| Captions | 1267 | 1527 (+260) |
| Missing | 129 | 183 |
My best guess is v9.20's own ENOMEM circuit breaker. After 3 fork failures in a row it pauses captioning for the rest of the run. The rest of the run would then have embedded the new items with CLIP only, which adds uncaptioned items and fits the missing count going from 129 to 183. v9.20 never fixed the root cause: CLIP/torch still sits in the parent process while it forks llama-mtmd-cli. The other possibility is that the last run started without --max-caption-retries 0, so the 129 had already hit the 3-failure cap. The log can tell these apart:
L=/var/www/html/ISE_Data/mediaprocessor.log; N=$(grep -n 'ISE v9.20' $L | tail -1 | cut -d: -f1); echo "run began at line $N"; sed -n "${N},\$p" $L | grep -E 'Processing|paus|gave up|Cannot allocate|SIGKILL|timed out' | cut -c1-140 | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -15; tail -8 $L
dmesg -T | grep -iE 'oom|killed process' | tail -5; ps -o args= -C python3.8
Here's how to read the result:
Cannot allocate lines plus a "paused" line: the circuit breaker tripped. The real fix is a v9.21 that runs captioning in a separate phase with CLIP released, or as its own process. Then the fork happens from a small parent.--max-caption-retries 0.One more fix is still outstanding: v2.0 of Classification_Progress_Report still has the wrong "held in the driver's memory" note. I'll take it out in the same pass. When you deploy is up to you.

This is good news: the backlog is finally getting captions. Look at the last four entries, 95, 97, 99 and 101. They come after 2848. JSON keeps keys in the order they were written, so these four were saved after your 13:36 check. All four were stuck on the missing list:
So the v9.20 downscale fix is working on the images it was written for. Something is running again, which the snapshot at 11:36 didn't show. If you didn't restart it yourself, a cron job did. chkindeximages should now show the count rising from 1527 and the missing count falling from 183.
Why is the block printed twice? Probably a double paste. If chkcaptions really prints the tail twice, send me its contents and I'll fix it.
One quality issue to keep an eye on. 95–101 are photos of book pages. Their captions say what the picture is ("a book open to page 20") and not what the page says. The drug-name errors ("diapram", "tampone") come from the same cause. Shrinking to 512 px is what fixed the memory problem, but it also makes small print unreadable, and a 7-word caption couldn't hold a page of text anyway. For text-heavy images (scans, tables, pages), an OCR pass would help search much more, for example tesseract on the full-size original with the result stored alongside the caption. That's a separate feature for later, not part of this fix.
<div class="human" markdown="1">
why did it go back toi the beginning ?

Claude: [24/09/2026--13:46:04:344 AEST]
It hasn't redone any work. It's a new run, and every run walks the library from the lowest attachment ID upward.
Here's why it has to be a new run rather than the same one continuing. In a single upward pass, 95–101 would have been reached near the start, before 2748–2848. The earlier run did reach them, around 06:16, and failed on them again. Then it went on to caption the new uploads up to 2848 and stopped at 10:10. This run started later, and this time the retries on 95–101 are succeeding.
I can't tell you from here what started it or why the retries work now. These two commands will show both:
ps -o pid,lstart,args -C python3.8
grep -n 'Processing\|paus\|gave up' /var/www/html/ISE_Data/mediaprocessor.log | tail -6
lstart shows when this run began and with which flags. If there's no --max-caption-retries 0, it's likely a cron or indeximages start.<div class="human" markdown="1">

That confirms it: a new run started at 11:42:40, six minutes after the chkindeximages check that showed nothing running. It was started as --log --monitor with no --max-caption-retries 0, which is exactly the command in indeximages. So the likely source is indeximages, started by you or by cron. crontab -l | grep -i index will tell you which. It has 2723 items, 7 more than the last run, so the new uploads are included.
The log raises one question. The previous v9.20 run (line 3942) logged no "paused" and no "gave up" lines. There are only 95 lines between its start and this run's start, and nothing that looks like an end-of-run summary. So that run probably didn't finish cleanly: it was killed, or it died at about 10:10 without writing a summary. That would also explain why the stores stopped at 10:10 and the 129 were never retried properly.
Two commands will settle how it ended:
L=/var/www/html/ISE_Data/mediaprocessor.log; sed -n '3942,4036p' $L | cut -c1-110 | sed -E 's/[0-9]+_[0-9a-f]{40}/ID/' | sort | uniq -c | sort -rn | head -8; echo ---; sed -n '4026,4036p' $L | cut -c1-160
dmesg -T | grep -iE 'oom|killed process' | tail -3
In the meantime, leave the current run going. 95–101 are captioning, and every caption is saved as soon as it's made.

That explains it. The previous v9.20 run crashed. It didn't finish and it didn't stall. It had 75 caption timeouts, then a fork failed with ENOMEM inside a subprocess.run() call, the error wasn't caught, and the traceback killed the whole run. That's why there's no summary line and why the stores stopped updating at 10:10.
This shows two bugs in v9.20, and both are mine:
subprocess call that the handler doesn't cover (the video-frame sampling is the prime suspect, given samples: 3, window: 30), or the handler catches the wrong exception. The top of the traceback will show which.The root cause hasn't changed: the parent process holds CLIP/torch, so on CentOS 6 (Python 3.8 uses plain fork, glibc 2.12) every fork needs memory the droplet doesn't have. Adding swap or changing the kernel's overcommit setting would stop fork failing without any code change. The durable code fix is to start a small caption worker before CLIP loads, so every llama-mtmd-cli is forked from a small process.
The current run will probably crash the same way once memory gets tight. It won't lose anything, because captions are saved as soon as each one is made.
To size and write v9.21, I need these. On CentOS 6, dmesg has no -T:
L=/var/www/html/ISE_Data/mediaprocessor.log; sed -n '4015,4030p' $L | cut -c1-160
free -m; swapon -s; cat /proc/sys/vm/overcommit_memory; dmesg | grep -iE 'oom|killed process' | tail -3
cd /var/www/html/The_ISE_Project; grep -n "timed out\|caption_timeout\|timeout=" MediaProcessor.py | head
Please also upload the current MediaProcessor.py (v9.20), because it isn't in this session. v9.21 will fix both bugs, and when you deploy it is up to you.

[Files sent: mediawatchdog, mediawatchdog.md]
Claude: [24/09/2026--13:52:26:777 AEST]
Is indeximages idle? No. Its MediaProcessor (PID 14586, started 11:42) is the run captioning 95–101 right now. It still isn't ideal: when MediaProcessor crashes, indeximages just prints "finished" and stops. It doesn't restart, and it doesn't log the exit code. The 06:16 run ended exactly that way, and nobody noticed.
The restart script is mediawatchdog, v1.0, with a manual in mediawatchdog.md. What it does:
--stop or kill, or after 3 crashed runs in a row that saved nothing, so it can't loop forever.indeximages run.llama-mtmd-cli left behind. --status shows the store counts and the last lines of the log.I tested it here with a stand-in MediaProcessor: crashes followed by a finish, the stall cutoff, --stop, refusing a second copy, and taking over a running process. It hasn't run on Live yet.
cp mediawatchdog /bin/ && chmod +x /bin/mediawatchdog
mediawatchdog --caption-timeout 180
Why --caption-timeout 180: your grep shows the message prints self.caption_timeout, so the real timeout is 60 s. The 120 s I promised in v9.20 never took effect, which is my bug. The flag works around it until I can see where the default is set. grep -n "CAPTION_TIMEOUT_SECONDS =0caption-timeout" MediaProcessor.py will show it.
Your other output, briefly:
extract_frames_at_intervals(), the video-frame sampler. Its subprocess.run doesn't handle ENOMEM, so the whole run died.processed_items = 0"). That means MediaProcessor.py on disk was changed after that run started. It's worth confirming which version is running now: grep -n RUNTIME_VERSION MediaProcessor.py.The watchdog restarts after crashes but doesn't prevent them. v9.21 needs the frame-sampler ENOMEM fix plus forking llama-mtmd-cli from a small process, and for that I need the current MediaProcessor.py uploaded. When you deploy either one is up to you.

Yes, and it's arguably the better home for this job. It also matches the original ISEmedia rule that Live shouldn't do inference.
| Live | Clone | |
|---|---|---|
| RAM | 2 GB (52 MB free, 1.2 GB in swap) | 6 GB + 2 GB swap |
| CPU | vCPUs with AVX2 | i7-3520M with AVX only (no AVX2/FMA) |
| Competition | Apache, MySQL, and a 1.5 GB apache python3 | nothing |
With that much headroom, the ENOMEM forks and the OOM kills should simply stop. Per image, Clone's CPU is weaker, but Live is currently paging to swap, so Clone will probably still come out faster. Your llama-mtmd-cli build started life on Clone with FMA off, so it already runs there.
How it would work. Clone does all the transfers, because Live can't reach Clone:
indeximages --stop and pause any cron entry. That way only one machine writes to the stores at a time.attachments/ directory, the whole ISE_Data/ directory, and The_ISE_Project/ (for the current MediaProcessor and Collabware). These are app paths only, nothing under /etc.mediawatchdog --caption-timeout 180 --max-caption-retries 0.captions_store.json, embeddings_store.json and caption_failures.json, written to temp names and then mv'd into place so the swap is atomic. After that, Live's normal indeximages only has to skip.The one open question is how MediaProcessor finds each file. Does locate_attachment_file() in Collabware's core_utils query MySQL, or does it only read media_store.json and the attachments directory? If it queries MySQL, Clone's database doesn't know about the attachments uploaded since it was cloned, so those would be missing. In that case the pull also needs a dump of smf_attachments. This will tell you:
grep -n "def locate_attachment_file" -A25 /var/www/html/The_ISE_Project/Collabware/core_utils.py | grep -iE "select|cursor|connect|media_store|attachments"
Send me that output and Clone's paths (are they the same /var/www/html/... as on Live?). I'll then write clone_captions.sh as a pull/run/push script with the safety checks built in, and you decide when to run it.
