Updating movie list at beginning of bash script does not seem to work #6

Closed Wurzelmann closed 2 years ago

Wurzelmann commented 5 years ago

I created a short bash script in order to execute meth periodically via a cron job and set auto-download = false in order to not update the file with every new line of the script.

Example lines in the script:

meth download --normalize false --pattern "%[date]_%[subject]_%[title]" 'Universum >40' station:orf
meth download --normalize false --pattern "%[date]_%[subject]_%[title]" 'Am Schauplatz' station:orf

The first line in the script is

meth update and I expected a movie list update and then queries/downloads with the new and updated file but instead there are these info messages before every download saying

Info: There is a newer filmlist version available.

I do not understand why I get those messages, surely the movie list file should up to date when the other meth queries start? It says so at the beginning:

Downloading movie list… ok
Unpacking movie list file… ok

Am I doing this wrong?

I think you are doing it just right. I also think, that the movie list is up to date and that this info message simply is wrong. This is a bug in meth. I have to investigate why it now reports this false message.

Just a side note: you could combine both queries into one to at leat reduce the noise a bit: 

meth '(| (& universum >40 station:orf) (& am schauplatz station:orf))'

Thank you for reporting this!

Thank you for this, if those warnings are just a bug, I'm going to ignore them.

I'm leaving this open, if you don't mind. Not sure when I have time to look into this, but it's an open bug right now :)

Sure, thanks. :-)
