I need your agent log please

[reddragonguy]

youtube agent.log

Here you go. Also, could you not log any secrets or tokens in the file.

Can change the source if i know the line number or the text displayed

• Did you try without the TM character in the foldername?

It seem to crash after the end of the metadata gathering with line 675 outputting

• it should be line 671 on latest code...

• this should be line 645 on latest code...

Are you using latest code?

[reddragonguy]

i just updated the code. Here's the error from the new log file:

To answer your question about renaming the folder, i didn't try and it wouldn't help. The next time the channel is updated, ytdl will just recreate the same folder again with the TM in it.

Also, it seems when i Unmatch the series, the shows get their titles and descriptions, but when i match the series, they lose everything.

None of the incriminated python lines are in the agent code so it seems Plex cannot saved metadata to their internal XML afterwards...
I could try to scrub the character if so, but not sure how yet as i already tried in the past to no avail

[reddragonguy]

renaming the folder worked, but i noticed another issue that i previously hacked a fix for. It seems the show name in Plex has my folder name in it. I made a local edit previously to add this line: metadata.title = re.sub(r'/media/youtube/', '', metadata.title).strip(), but i couldn't figure out the right fix. It slso doesn't show the correct image for the show and ends up just using a random episode image.

here's the poster it uses:

and here's where the correct one is:

we need to see if saving the impacted folder name without the problematic character works...

Found how to convert a string to xml to string to remove bad characters

from lxml import etree
xml_parser              = etree.XMLParser(recover=True)
cleaned_xml_string = etree.tostring( etree.fromstring(dirty_xml_string, parser=xml_parser) )

[ZeroQI]

instead of metadata.title = re.sub(r'/media/youtube/', '', metadata.title).strip() try metadata.title = os.path.basename(metadata.title)

Any feedback?

Will probably be resolved alongside #28
