Platform

Operating system and version: UnRAID 6.9 Plex version: 1.21.4.4079-1b7748a7b

Current Behavior

There are no items in Library Plex Media Scanner.log

Character u2013 is a (dash), I cant figure out what's wrong with the files name.

I think I got it fixed... apparently some of my files had a longer dash. I couldn't see the length difference using linux command line until I was looking the files using Windows Explorer. Once I had the dash rename to a different dash, scanner was able to process the files.

Is this a normal behavior of accepting only a certain.. not even sure how to descriptive this, a long dash vs shorter dash?

File "/config/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Scanners/Series/Absolute Series Scanner.py", line 943, in Scan Log.info('Youtube folder season gmtime, season: {}, file: {}'.format(folder_season, filename)) The output doesn't use unicode, This should solve your issue, please update the scanner code and do the plex dance, and report please

The longer does is from a codepage and can't be converted to ASCII so cause issues... usingunicode should allow any code point and prevent the bad conversion altogether

Please reply with the actual filename if issue persisted
