Post by rouds42 »

Hello,

My filebot script doesn't anymore since few weeks. It seems to fail to connect to TheTVDB server

Command :

Code: Select all

filebot -script fn:amc --log all -rename $DOWNLOAD_DIR --output $PARSED_DIR --log-f
ile $LOG_FILE --action move --conflict override -non-strict --def music=y --def ple
x=127.0.0.1:xxxxxx --def "seriesFormat=$TVSHOWS_DIR/{n}/Season {s}/{n
} - [{sxe}] - {t} [{vf}-{source}-{vc}-{group}]" "movieFormat=$MOVIES_DIR/{n} ({y})/
{n} ({y})" "ut_kind=multi" "subtitles=fr,en" --def subtitles=fr,en

Error message :

Code: Select all

Looks like a network or server issue:

Code: Select all

connect timed out
Probably temporary. Give it a day, and try again tomorrow, and then things should just work again.

That would indicate a general network issue on your end.


TheTVDB fundamentally works for me right now:

Code: Select all

filebot -list --db TheTVDB --q firefly
Firefly - 1x01 - Serenity
Firefly - 1x02 - The Train Job
...

I'm having the exact same issue.
Running

Code: Select all

filebot -list --db TheTVDB --q firefly
gives me the following stack

Hi everyone,

From my end, I still have the same issue despite uninstall-reinstall the app.

Does Anyone has a solution (It is quite disapointing to pay for a license without any support...) ? What port is used by the filebot command line ? How to test network issue specifically for filebot access request ?

It is working through the application interface...

Thanks everyone for any further assistance.

This would be a server-side issue with TheTVDB services.

You can either wait for their servers to work again, or you can use a different database instead for the time being.

Hi rednoah,

thanks again for your assistance. One thing I don't understand is how is it possible to be a server side issue if I'm the only one who cannot access it ? How can I use a different database to test if it only not working with TheTVDB ?

I've tested again and I still got the same error message :

Code: Select all

SocketTimeoutException: connect timed out
Is there any additionnal test to understand why it is not working anymore ? Ping, command line, ...

Without any help, my filebot license is useless and will request for a complete refund.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Re: TheTVDB - Failed to retrieve authorization token: connect timed out

It's a network issue, because you're getting a network layer error:

Code: Select all

Caused by: java.net.SocketTimeoutException: connect timed out
:idea: https://stackoverflow.com/a/49705331/1514467


:idea: Now this could be that either the server is down, thus no response, or because a firewall or IP ban or ISP issue or other generic network issue is blocking network packages, thus no response, or anything else causing no response.


:idea: You could try to ping api.thetvdb.com and see if you get a response.


:idea: If you're using the GUI, then it should be self-explanatory, as you're currently clicking on a button labelled TheTVDB, and to use a different database, you'd simply click an a different nearby button, e.g. the one labelled TheMovieDB or the one labelled TVmaze.


:idea: If you're using the CLI, then the example command-line call in the post above shows --db TheTVDB being used:

Code: Select all

filebot -list --db TheTVDB --q Alias
Using a different database would then work as follows:

Code: Select all

filebot -list --db TheMovieDB::TV --q Alias
:idea: Please read the FAQ and How to Request Help.
