I am trying to annotate a video on cvat of size 157mb. It was working for the past 1 month and I was annotating videos of size <500mb. But suddenly a week ago I got this error.

I tried after 2 days and today also and I was always getting the same error.
I even tried running cvat locally using docker but its giving me the same error.
Please help.

Expected Behaviour

The task is successfully created.

Current Behaviour

Error while creating the task.

Possible Solution

Steps to Reproduce (for bugs)

Context

I am currently doing a project for school which requires annotating videos.
There aren't any free tools other than cvat which could help me achieve this task. So I started working with cvat for creating bounding boxes for YOLOv5 algorithm.

Your Environment

• Operating System and version (e.g. Linux, Windows, MacOS): Windows
• I am using the cvat website for creating the task

Hi, I'm afraid it will be difficult to find these logs on cvat.org, so could you please collect and attach the server logs from your local instance after a failed task creation attempt? Command is: docker logs cvat> cvat.log

Thanks

@azhavoro I tried uploading a 157 mb video today locally and the task was created successfully. But then I tried to create a another task with a video of size 222 mb, the task creation failed this time. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1FvsY4HAnki3zVhMc0ttDTzTv3JUAYY-v/view?usp=sharing Please have a look at the logs in this link. Thank you so much! 🙏

You probably have copied labels from created task with Ctrl+C and pasted them with Ctrl+V to the new task, right?
So, it is a wrong way because Raw data contains database IDs and looks like you try to create labels with primary keys which already exist.

Solution: To use button "Copy" in the top right corner of labels form (instead of Ctrl+C).

Damn. That was a silly thing that I missed. Thanks for taking your time and pointing it out! The issue is now resolved!

Let's consider it like appeal to actions. You are not the first person, who was confused with this issue.
I will reopen it and mark as a enhancement, to find a better solution.

Let's treat the issue as a UX bug. No need to have a separate button if the usual way to copy is CTRL+C.
