TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable coroutine object

[itsalljustdata]

` server = serverConfig( Path('file').parent.parent.joinpath('config.yaml'))

for l in [m for m in server.emby.movies if re.search(r'^[1|2]\d{3}.', m.name)]:
    newName = f"{l.name[5:].replace('.', ' ')} ({l.name[0:4]})"
    l.name = newName
    l.post()

`

I'm trying to do somere-titling of some movies ("nnnn.Title" to "Title (nnnn)"), but I'm getting this horrible looking "TypeError: cannot unpack non-iterable coroutine object" exception on the "post" call to send the update back to the server.

my serverConfig class is just an object wrapper which reads in a config file and then creates the emby connection, it's connecting and retrieving the movies from the server OK.

Any ideas?

Python 3.9.6 embypy 0.6.2.3

[andy29485]

Check if the commit fixes it (I just did some testing and it seems to work).

[itsalljustdata]

OK. that worked! Next question is - why is the update to the name not actually happening?

[andy29485]

That's strange... are you using v0.6.2.3.4 or v0.6.2.4.0 now?

[itsalljustdata]

for my own sanity I just blew away my venv and started afresh using 0.6.3.0

still doesn't seem to be updating

    ic.configureOutput(includeContext=True)

    src = server.emby.search('Rocky Horror')
    for l in src:
        ic(l.name)

    for l in [m for m in src if re.search(r'^[1|2]\d{3}.', m.name)]:

Sorry about that, made a mistake when committing (shouldn't have tried to split it into two versions).

hotfix v0.6.3.1 should fix that issue

[itsalljustdata]

still the same. no update is actually happening. :(

[andy29485]

Welp, not sure where to go from this point. I've got it working on my instance of jellyfin (switched a while ago). Emby's api / code examples seem to do the same thing that I do.

I've created a new version that has the post/send method return an http status/message that comes from emby/jellyfin. This should help you debug what the issue is (try doing a ic(l.send()) instead of just a send).

Side note, for your regex I think you meant to do either r'^(1|2)\d{3}\.' or r'^[12]\d{3}.'. Side note 2, embypy will prefer to use an internal cache for things, so unless you do an item.update()(for items) or emby.movies_force() (for all movie items). It'll just keep re-using what it thinks is the right value not what's actually stored by the server.

So something like this:

for item in server.emby.search('Rocky Horror'):
    ic(item.name)
    if match := re.search(r'^([12]\d{3})\.\s*(.*)', item.name):  # python 3.8
        item.name = f"{match.group(2)} ({match.group(1)})"
        ic(item.name)
        ic(item.send())
        item.update()  # without this you'll keep seeing the cached version that you just set not what's on the server
        ic(item.name)

[itsalljustdata]

now i'm confused...

    status: 400
    resp: "Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'source')"

emby 4.6.4.0

[itsalljustdata]

and throwing it at a jellyfin server gives me a more verbose exception....

[andy29485]

status: 400 resp: "Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'source')" This was always a strange error to debug because there isn't a parameter named source anywhere in the api (usually meant something else that I was doing was wrong).

and throwing it at a jellyfin server gives me a more verbose exception.... Just the last line is the error. The string coming back from the server (Error processing request.) isn't valid json so it's throwing an exception. This is basically as generic of an error as they get and doesn't actually say much sadly (just that embypy is sending some bad values to the server... probably).

So, this def seems like an issue with embypy, but one that should have been fixed. Make sure that you're on the right version. Here's an example output of my (hand run) test:

>>> #setup
>>> import embypy
>>> conf = {"watching": {}, "auth": {"userid": "xxx", "api_key": "yyy", "device_id": "zzz"}, "address": "https://example.com"}
>>> conn = embypy.Emby(conf['address'], **conf['auth'])
>>> 
>>> embypy.__version__ # make sure that this matches (or is at least '0.6.3.1')
'0.6.3.2'
>>> item = conn.info('209fb14b2f109d7b8f963afc99d72a6f')
>>> item.name
'The Rocky Horror Picture Show'
>>> item.name = 'The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)'
>>> item.name
'The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)'
>>> item.send()  # first part of the return value of this should be in the 200s
(204, '')
>>> item.update()  # updated the cached version with what's on the server
<Movie 209fb14b2f109d7b8f963afc99d72a6f>
>>> item.name  # name has changed
'The Rocky Horror Picture Show (1975)'
>>>
