This error message occurred while scraping for movies:

How could one avoid it? And what does it mean?

When I try to colse TMM this message appears:

So I could not close TMM the usual way and did it with the Task Manager. Is there another way to do it in this case? To not to lose data?

well your free (java)memory was so low that the database could not write its changes.. 

please do one of the following things for the future (we explained that already to several members here):

- increase the memory for tmm (may result that tmm won't start any more)
- create two tmm installations (one for movies, one for tv shows)

the big problem here is, that your library is that big, that java cannot handle it at runtime with the given amount of memory, whereas increasing the memory limit is problematic due to the (poor) memory management of java..

How can I get it to stat again then?

What if TMM could handle two such databases, so just split the TMM database in two, one for series, one for movies or such?
