Crash/stuck at "libmal: Logging in..." when opening wmal/wmal-gtk about trackma HOT 4 CLOSED

erm... i think the issue is that MAL is down. i suppose handling that more gracefully would be nice though.

For some reason it never even crossed my mind although error was a timeout... Good night.

MAL is down.

For now, please edit your configuration file (~/.wmal/config.json) and set "autoretrieve" and "autosend" to "off", and "autosend_at_exit" to false. That way you can use your local list without it trying to contact MAL. Working properly without connection is one of the key objectives of the program so it should work.

For that reason, indeed timeout exceptions should be handled properly so I'm reopening the issue.

Okay, I pushed a change that handles timeout exceptions properly. The program should keep running even if it fails to connect and it should use your cached local list. I set the timeout time to 10 seconds for now.

Feel free to make changes to the list, they will stay in queue, even if you quit the program; they'll get synced once MAL returns.

Since your cache must be older than 3 days (or the time limit set in your config) the program will try to download the list every time it starts. This might be annoying if MAL is down so you can disable autoretrieve either through GTK settings dialog or ~/.wmal/config.json (as I described in my previous post). If you have send at exit enabled it will also try to sync when it exits, feel free to disable this too. Of course if you don't have any cache, it will still fail.

If the problem persists, feel free to reopen the issue.
