JSONDecodeError when launching the container

[ethw]

Hello, I'm getting a JSONDecodeError that seems to have something to do with grabbing either the plex.url, plex.token, or notifier. My config.yaml was working fine awhile back, not sure what changed. I have tried checking that my token is correct, and tried multiple plex urls. Nothing has fixed the issue. Any help would be much appreciated, I've found this tool invaluable for watching shows with poorly labelled subtitles.

My container version tag is latest, my plex version is 1.31.3.6868.

Here's the log containing the error.

Got the same error on latest(). Something was wrong with the cache. Deleting the file in the cache folder fixed it. Think it's already fixed on master tag with #59

Much appreciated @rickfo97, that fixed my problem. Glad to see it's fixed on master already.
