FileBot

I'm trying to use FileBot to fetch artwork. It generally works, but, for some reason, fails to download artwork for Toy Story (1995) [the first movie].

Console Output: Select all

$ filebot -script fn:artwork "Toy Story (1995) {tmdb-862}"/
[MOVIE] Toy Story (1995) [/storage/Toy Story (1995) {tmdb-862}/Toy Story (1995) - 2160p - WEB-DL - FLUX.mkv]

Error (o_O)

Even though it appears `862` is the correct TMDB ID for Toy Story ...

Console Output: Select all

$ filebot -list --db TheMovieDB --q 862
Toy Story (1995)

I'm sure I'm doing something wrong, but I don't know what.

Here's what I get:

Console Output: Select all

$ filebot -script fn:artwork .
[MOVIE] Toy Story (1995) [Movies/Toy Story (1995) {tmdb-862}/Toy Story (1995).mkv]

The API might have erroneously sent back an empty response. That would be odd but that's what the console output above seems to suggest. You can do -clear-cache once to clear the cache and then try again.

Thanks for the quick response @rednoah. -clear-cache fixed the issue.
