thetvdb: Failed to retrieve authorization token

[jake]

Good morning,

I'm using the linux cli version:
FileBot 4.7.14 (r5241) / OpenJDK Runtime Environment 1.8.0_151 / Linux 4.13.0-36-generic (amd64)

Is there a problem with tvdb data access?

Failed to lookup info by id: java.lang.IllegalStateException: Failed to retrieve authorization token: Server returned HTTP response code: 522 for URL: https://api.thetvdb.com/login

thanks

522 means that the TheTVDB API server didn't respond for some reason. Most likely due to being busy at the time and not able to respond to all requests. If you try again some other time then it'll probably work.

Thanks for the fast and friendly support

BTW: I saw the readme about https://www.patreon.com/filebot. Is this for new versions only? Can I use 4.7.14 without restrictions?

Yes, as long as it works. But if it works, then the least you can do is pledge toward continued support.

It's not working atm but thats probably not your fault

Whats the preferred way to pledge patreon or paypal? What will happen when the required 1000 people for patreon goal are not met? Will there be a linux cli version in the future?

TVDB has been having some major api issues the past couple days, 522 errors, 523 errors, and the like. There has been a post made on the tvdb forums but so far none of the devs have made a response about it. Hopefully things clear up in a few days or so.

1.
I'd prefer continuous Patreon support over a one-time donation.

2.
If less than 1000 people are interested in supporting FileBot, then I'll take the hint, and focus my efforts on the Windows / Mac / GUI versions of FileBot.

Sad but understandable. I hope there will be enough people to support this concept to have a linux version in the future.

May I suggest adding something like this to your patreon/Readme:

TL;DR: Keep the filebot linux version alive by spending $1 per release ($12 /year)
