I'm currently running through all of my old conversions(in .mp4, using the fast profile) to comskip them with settings I am comfortable with using. I added my entire TV folder with separate episodes and the sub directory option checked. 3 conversions at a time.
Pretty sure it's actually working. Temp files are getting created in the proper folders and log files without errors are increasing in size.
But I'm getting a weird GUI error I haven't seen before. It's giving the error message that the mcebuddy service is stopped but it is in fact running according to task manager. The GUI is also blinking rapidly. The buttons will go from gray to colored, and the bottom of the window will extend down like it is increasing the area for the 3 conversion progress bars, and then back up with the blinking. It also happens when a single conversion is running. I had to stop service and change value in conf file as everything is unresponsive in this state.
I tried to run a camstudio capture of it to post up but for whatever reason camstudio won't install on my windows 8 machine.

That's normal, since you're running 3 conversions it's overloading the system not leaving enough resources for the GUI to connect with the engine hence the connection times out and gives that error. If you reduce the number of conversions it will work normally. This is a GUI overload, in 2.3.12 I'm providing support for limiting the number of CPU's MCEBuddy can utilize which can leave some resources free for other things including the GUI.
Is the priority set to Normal or Low? What is your system spec?
