TVNamer 2.4 stopped working

[cdf1982]

Hi, I don't feel great asking this as a issue, since it's more of a support request, but maybe this happened for others too... In the last few days TVNamer stopped working for me, always with the same traceback errors:

Nothing in my config file or system configuration has changed except for updating macOS to 10.14.6 a few days ago; I usually still have the system's python 2.7 configured as default, and it has worked fine for two years now, but today I also tried setting 3.7 as default; same error.

This is happening on 2 different computers, which makes me think that something might have changed in the tvdb response, but I'm out of my depth here.

I've come to rely on this amazing project (thank you for your work!) daily, so all help will be very much appreciated!

I just did some investigation...

Going in tvdb_api.py line 1092 it turns out that seriesInfoEt is None.

Just some lines above there is

seriesInfoEt = self._getetsrc(
            self.config['url_seriesInfo'] % sid
        )

And going to the implementation of _getetsrc() at line 900:

def _getetsrc(self, url, language=None):
        """Loads a URL using caching, returns an ElementTree of the source
        """
        src = self._loadUrl(url, language=language)

        return src

I added a simple print of the url, and found that it is something like https://api.thetvdb.com/series/##### that when visited it gives an auth error like this: {"Error":"Not authorized","authorizer":"cloudfront"}.

I don't know what the problem is, but it seems that TVNamer is not allowed to use the TVDB API anymore.

PS: Edited many times to do some better formatting, sorry...

+1, same problem here.

After reading

https://thetvdb.com/api-information

and looking at tvdb_api.py, my fear is the hardcoded API Key "borrowed" from thetvdb got either revoked or is still active, but can't be used by other projects anymore (wild guessing):

"apikey": "0629B785CE550C8D",

I will try to get my own API key, configure it for use with tvnamer and will share the outcome here:

apikey (str/unicode): Override the default thetvdb.com API key. By default it will use tvdb_api's own key (fine for small scripts), but you can use your own key if desired - this is recommended if you are embedding tvdb_api in a larger application) See http://thetvdb.com/?tab=apiregister to get your own key

OK, I created an account on the site, got my personal API key and changed lines 699–704 in tvdb_api.py to the following:

else:
    self.config['auth_payload'] = {
        "apikey": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000",
        "userkey": "",
        "username": ""
    }

Unfortunately, retrieving show information still does not work.

I also tried to edit lines 346–353 in main.py of tvrenamer and pass the apikey when instantiating Tvdb:

tvdb_instance = Tvdb(
        interactive = not Config['select_first'],
        search_all_languages = Config['search_all_languages'],
        language = Config['language'],
        dvdorder = dvdorder,
        cache=cache,
        apikey='00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000',
    )

Didn't help either.

NB: Regarding userkey/username:

Note that the username and key are ONLY required for the /user routes. The user's key is labled Account Identifier in the account section of the main site. The TVDB API

I believe this is an ongoing server side issue with TheTVDB - there’s a forum thread linked in #157 with people having various similar issues

If I try a simple tvnamer . -v, I get something along the lines of:-

However, if I explicitly state the series id, then the the api appears to work, eg:-

tvnamer . --series-id=80379

Possibly issues with the api changes and dealing with the language=all ?

[jim1138]

Problem solved. Having dug around I realised I was running old versions of tvnamer (2.2.1-1) & tvdb_api (1.9-1)

Removed them both and then used pip install tvnamer to install tvnamer version 2.5
