Description

A while back I mentioned that mpv was crashing hydrus, no idea why. I'm not 100% sure if the issue was ever resolved, but I never had it happen on one off gifs since then, but I also stopped culling though video files/gifs as I had other, larger low hanging fruit to cull, but now i'm back to culling gifs and webm's and I get crashing still, not nearly as bad as before where I couldn't even make it through 1 thread of files without a crash, but its still crashing.

Are there any diagnostics or the like I can run or have running while I cull so the problem may get caught as there is nothing in the log aside from the last 4 checks of an import folder and restarting the client (and various other things that didn't cause issue, at least visible)

Research direction

Start by reproducing the crash while culling GIF and WebM files with diagnostics enabled, then review the client log around the final import-folder checks and restart. Done means capturing evidence that identifies when the mpv-related crash occurs and provides enough diagnostic information to investigate it.
