🛠️ Troubleshooting Guide

🔧 Common Issues & Solutions

Problem: "No runner found" Error

Symptoms: Error message when trying to analyze photos Causes:

Missing or corrupted installation files
Antivirus software blocking the AI runner
Insufficient disk space

Solutions:

Reinstall the plugin: Download fresh copy and reinstall
Check antivirus exclusions: Add WildlifeAI.lrplugin folder to exclusions
Free up disk space: Ensure 2GB+ available space
Run as administrator: Try running Lightroom as administrator
Check permissions: Ensure plugin folder is not read-only

Problem: Photos Not Getting Ratings/Keywords

Symptoms: Processing completes but no ratings or keywords appear Causes:

Lightroom metadata cache issues
Configuration settings disabled
File permission problems

Solutions:

Restart Lightroom: Close and reopen Lightroom completely
Check configuration: Library > Plug-in Extras > WildlifeAI: Configure...
- ✅ Ensure "Enable automatic ratings" is checked
- ✅ Ensure "Enable keyword generation" is checked
Force reprocess: Select photos and use "WildlifeAI: Force Reprocess Photos"
Clear processing state: Use "WildlifeAI: Clear Processing State..." then re-analyze

Problem: "Yielding is not allowed" Error

Symptoms: Error message during processing, processing stops Causes:

Background processes interfering with Lightroom
Corrupted plugin state

Solutions:

Restart Lightroom: Always try this first
Update to latest version: Ensure you have the newest WildlifeAI version
Disable other plugins: Temporarily disable other plugins to test
Process smaller batches: Try 10-20 photos at a time instead of hundreds

Problem: Slow Processing Speed

Symptoms: Analysis takes much longer than expected Causes:

Large image files (high-resolution RAW)
Insufficient RAM
CPU overload from other applications

Solutions:

Close other applications: Free up system resources
Process smaller batches: 50-100 photos at a time for optimal speed
Enable GPU acceleration: If you have a compatible NVIDIA GPU
Increase RAM allocation: Add more RAM if possible (16GB+ recommended)
Use 1:1 previews: Build 1:1 previews in Lightroom first

Problem: Species Identification Incorrect

Symptoms: AI identifies wrong species consistently Causes:

Similar-looking species (normal AI limitation)
Poor image quality affecting detection
Regional species variations

Solutions:

Check confidence scores: Low confidence (<70%) suggests uncertain identification
Use manual correction: Override AI identification with correct species
Improve image quality: Ensure sharp, well-exposed photos for better AI performance
Report issues: Help improve the AI by reporting consistent misidentifications

🔧 Advanced Troubleshooting

Enable Debug Logging

Library > Plug-in Extras > WildlifeAI: Toggle Debug Mode
Library > Plug-in Extras > WildlifeAI: Toggle Logging

GPU Memory Limits	NVIDIA GPUs with <6GB VRAM may run out of memory with large batches	Process 25-50 photos at a time, or disable GPU acceleration	Investigating
RAW File Support	Some exotic RAW formats may not be supported	Convert to DNG first, or use JPEG exports	Planned Fix
Lightroom Cloud	Plugin only works with Lightroom Classic, not Lightroom CC	Use Lightroom Classic for WildlifeAI analysis	By Design
Network Processing	No cloud-based processing option currently available	All processing is local only	Under Consideration
Mobile Export	No direct mobile app integration	Use Lightroom mobile sync after processing	Future Feature

Platform-Specific Issues

Windows 10/11

Antivirus False Positives: Some antivirus software flags the AI runner as suspicious
- Solution: Add WildlifeAI plugin folder to antivirus exclusions
Windows Defender SmartScreen: May block first-time execution
- Solution: Click "More info" > "Run anyway" when prompted

macOS

Gatekeeper Warnings: macOS may warn about unsigned executables
- Solution: Right-click runner > "Open" > "Open" to allow execution
Catalina+ Security: Requires explicit permission for file access
- Solution: Grant Lightroom full disk access in System Preferences > Security

Performance Considerations

Memory Usage: WildlifeAI uses 2-4GB RAM during processing
Disk Space: Temporary files may use 1-2GB during large batch processing
CPU Usage: Expect 80-90% CPU utilization during analysis
Processing Time: 30-60 seconds per photo depending on image size and hardware
