Body: <p>BirdNet is very new to me and I can't really find a guide online. I've installed it, and I've done the 'pip3 install pywebview gradio' to use the GUI version. Every time I've uploaded a recording and clicked analyze I've either gotten an error after a few seconds or had it run for hours without stopping. When I get the error, after I hit analyze it shows queue 1/1 then a time counter then error. When I get it going on forever it's just the time counter increasing.</p>
  <p>The files I've uploaded have been flac and have been 3-15 minutes long. I tried using the filters and leaving the filters as is. Any help would be appreciated thanks!</p>
