[TheTVDB] net.filebot.InvalidResponseException: Invalid XML

[MasterCATZ]

Just updated to 4.7.9 on Ubuntu and now it will not search

Code: Select all

net.filebot.InvalidResponseException: Invalid XML: SAXParseException: XML document structures must start and end within the same entity.

I was going to add log file as attachment but .. the button seems to be alluding my eyes
so pastebin link https://pastebin.com/kJvVMtyx

and I just dug up topics with "XML document structures" in the searches

I'll wait to see if thetvdb will work again soon ...

TheTVDB seems to have server-side issues and send back invalid data these days. You can either wait a few days and then try again, or use a different database, like TheMovieDB or TVmaze, for the time being.

But this seems only a short-term access problem to be. I Had the problem just now and a minute later it went again.

[rednoah]

Yes, it's a server-side API issue. It might work for one request and not work for another.

Hello,

first post in here as I am currently using tvnamer on linux but due to the new API from thetvdb tvnamer is reporting the same errors (and it won't be updated to the new API)

Are you planning on moving filebot to thetvdb API v2 as they will be dropping the xml support later this year?

[rednoah]

Yes. New versions of FileBot will use the new API. The new API caused lots of unexpected problems when I used it by default in a general release once, which had to be rolled back, so I'm treading carefully this time around.

Thanks for your answer. I know that asking for ETA will not get me an absolute answer but roughly how far are you in the work needed to release it?

And sorry for my ignorance, I am looking to run it on my NAS (running Arm Archlinux). Ideally I am looking at a replacement for TVNamer that look at all files from a specific folder - then rename it like 'tv show name - 01x01 - episodes name.mkv/avi' and then move the file into the tv show folder - and if no folder found (new tv show) that the script create the folder. Or if a movie that, the script rename the movie, create a folder with the name of the movie and then move the file into it.

All those files are then read/handle by Kodi. Filebot will be doing all that isn't it?

Yes, sounds like the typical use case that most people have.

If you keep having trouble with the XML API, you can try the latest revision which uses the new JSON API:
viewtopic.php?t=1609

What is the procedure to extract and install this file "FileBot.jar.xz.gpg"?

No problem, I got it: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=4960#top
