I am experiencing an issue with the Opwen WebUI. When I submit a conversion request, the system does not wait until the EasyOCR detection model is fully downloaded and loaded. As a result, I am receiving multiple 500 Internal Server Error responses. Here is an excerpt from the log:
INFO: 127.0.0.1:51784 - "POST /v1alpha/convert/file HTTP/1.1" 500 Internal Server Error
WARNING:easyocr.easyocr:Downloading detection model, please wait. This may take several minutes depending upon your network connection.
INFO: 127.0.0.1:51787 - "POST /v1alpha/convert/file HTTP/1.1" 500 Internal Server Error
...
INFO: 127.0.0.1:51808 - "POST /v1alpha/convert/file HTTP/1.1" 500 Internal Server Error
It appears that the conversion process is initiated before the model download (docling) is completed. Could you please update the WebUI so that it waits for the EasyOCR model to finish downloading before processing conversion requests?
Thank you for your prompt assistance.
Best regards,
