Renamed as "Null"

Post by JimmyB4403 »

I've been using filebot for years. Randomly a few shows that I download are now being renamed as some version of "NULL". They worked fine up until a few weeks ago. I have listed the logs for one example. Any ideas why this is occurring, or how to prevent it moving forward?

Code: Select all

Run script [fn:amc] at [Sun Dec 01 08:15:05 UTC 2019]
Parameter: deleteAfterExtract = y
Parameter: unsorted = y
Parameter: music = n
Parameter: artwork = n
Parameter: ut_dir = 
Parameter: ut_kind = multi
Parameter: ut_title = 
Parameter: ut_label = 
Parameter: excludeList = /home/user/filebot/amc.txt
Argument[0]: /home/user/files/completed
Use excludes: /home/user/filebot/amc.txt (331)

What is the command you're executing? What does filebot -script fn:sysinfo say?

:idea: Please read How to Request Help.

Here's what I get:

Code: Select all

$ filebot -rename Godfather.of.Harlem.S01E10.720p.WEB.H264-METCON.mkv
Rename episodes using [TheTVDB] with [Airdate Order]

Processed 1 files
Here's the episode data I get back from TheTVDB:

Code: Select all

$ filebot -list --q "Godfather of Harlem"
Godfather of Harlem - 1x01 - By Whatever Means Necessary
Godfather of Harlem - 1x02 - The Nitty Gritty
Godfather of Harlem - 1x03 - Our Day Will Come
Godfather of Harlem - 1x04 - I Am The Greatest
Godfather of Harlem - 1x05 - It's All In the Game
Godfather of Harlem - 1x06 - Il Canto de Malavita
Godfather of Harlem - 1x07 - Masters of War
Godfather of Harlem - 1x08 - How I Got Over
Godfather of Harlem - 1x09 - Rent Strike Blues
Godfather of Harlem - 1x10 - Chickens Come Home to Roost

:idea: The most likely cause is temporary API issues with TheTVDB, as they're currently at work and constantly changing things, and perhaps breaking things here and there temporarily:

I have filebot run on a seedbox (it's a pre-installed app on the server) and then I use rsync to transfer the file to a directory on my home computer. I then run another instance of filebot locally to get the file moved to the proper location. Here is fn:sysinfo for the seedbox:

Code: Select all

------------------- UPDATE AVAILABLE: FileBot 4.8.5 (r6224) --------------------
Since it is a preinstalled app, I have submitted a ticket to update the application on their end. Do you think that could be part of the problem?

Here is the fn:sysinfo for my local machine

Code: Select all

FileBot 4.8.5 (r6224)
JNA Native: 5.2.2
MediaInfo: 18.12
7-Zip-JBinding: 9.20

CPU/MEM: 16 Core / 7 GB Max Memory / 47 MB Used Memory
OS: Windows 10 (amd64)
Package: APPX

The command I'm executing is here for the seedbox:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc "$CONFIG_INPUT" --output "$CONFIG_OUTPUT" --action move --conflict auto -non-strict --log-file "/home/user/filebot/amc.log" --def deleteAfterExtract=y unsorted=y music=n artwork=n ut_dir="$TORRENT_PATH" ut_kind="multi" ut_title="$TORRENT_NAME" ut_label="$TORRENT_LABEL" --def excludeList="/home/user/filebot/amc.txt"
And here is the command locally:

Code: Select all

filebot.exe -script fn:amc --output "\\NAS\Media" --action move --filter "n != /Magnum P I/" --conflict skip -non-strict "C:\Users\James\SeedboxTransfer" --def minFileSize=75000000 --log-file "C:\Automation\amc.log" --def music=n ignore="idx" plex=127.0.0.1:XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX pushbullet=XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX "seriesFormat=TV Shows/{n}/{n} - {s00e00} - {t}" "movieFormat=Movies/{n} ({y})/{n} ({y})"
As I mentioned, this setup has been working for more than a year flawlessly up until a few weeks ago (with no changes on my end).

My educated guess would be that it's TheTVDB API sending back bad data for some reason for some time. It seems to be fixed now on their end, because I can't reproduce the issue.

I appreciate you looking into it on your side. It seems to be happening with shows that air on Sunday that are released late Saturday night.

Moving forward, is there any way to "ignore" a file that is being renamed as "Null" or "Nullmetal Alchemist" (which is what Ray Donovan get renamed to lately)? This way it would skip renaming the file until the API was functioning properly.

I'd presume that the --def ignore option only works for the input file name, not the ultimate renamed file name...am I mistaken?

Please enable full debug logging:
viewtopic.php?t=3913

You can permanently set these settings like so:

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:properties --def net.filebot.logging.debug=ALL net.filebot.web.WebRequest.log.response=true

That'll log the raw response we get back from the API. Please wait until it happens again, and then send me the full logs, then we know what the API sent back, so we know what FileBot can and cannot know at that point in time, and possibly alleviate the issue client-side.
