Can't Search For Series

[wraith1385]

Hello, I'm getting the error below whenever I try to search for a series.

500 Internal Server Error

The server encountered an unexpected condition which prevented it from fulfilling the request.

What series are you searching for?

Are you using your own comicvine api key? Is it being used in another application other than mylar ?

What does the mylar.log file show prior to the error getting logged? Anything about http related errors or the like?

[wraith1385]

I got the error when searching for Chewbacca, New Avengers, and Guardians of the Galaxy.

I'm using my own Comicvine API key, ComicRack uses this key too, but it's not even running right now.

There are no errors in the mylar.log file.

[evilhero]

Can you paste in what is happening prior to the error from the mylar.log file?

They've limited api usage abit lately and sharing api key amongst apps while normally shouldn't be a problem seems to be causing some issues with particular apps.

It might be that they're doing something with the api atm and it's causing problems ( they patched something or 'fixed' something or its just offline )

[wraith1385]

I'm not sure how helpful it is, but here's what I see.

[evilhero]

That doesn't look right...there should be text between each of those lines.

What version of python are you running?

Are you on the latest commit of either the master or development branch of mylar?

[wraith1385]

I'm on python 2.7.10 and according to mylar there are no updates for the development branch. I'm on build 60140e8c900ae6c2acc3c9bf319506b6514fbed4

[evilhero]

Can you browse to comicvine's website without any issues?

[wraith1385]

Yes, it also appears that I can successfully scrape series info using the api in comicrack.

[evilhero]

Do you have more than one instance of mylar running simultaneously? Have you restarted mylar since receiving the error?

Sorry this type of error is really hard to troubleshoot without so many questions being asked...

I'm still able to search fine so it might appear to be some localized to your installation. Just need to figure out what's causing the problem.

[wraith1385]

As far as I know I only have on instance running. I restarted mylar earlier and I just now restarted my entire computer, but I'm still receiving the error.

[evilhero]

Ok this is gonna seem any drastic but it will tell you possibly what's happening.

First shutdown mylar. Then go into the mylar/mylar directory and copy the mb.py file to a different location (or copy/rename it).

Then to the original mb.py file, open it up in an editor and on line 64 (roughly) you should see the following:

logger.info('PULLURL:' + PULLURL)

Delete the # from the line and make sure the logger.. part lines up column wise with the other lines (spacing matters in python).

Save the file, start up mylar and then try the search again.

You'll be able to see the actual url that mylar is sending to comicvine in the logs. Copy that url directly into a browser and see what it spits back ;)

[wraith1385]

I'll try that as soon as I get home from work tomorrow.

[wraith1385]

Ok so here's the URL I got - http://api.comicvine.com/search?api_key=blankedout&resources=volume&query=DARTH%20AND%20VADER&field_list=id,name,start_year,first_issue,site_detail_url,count_of_issues,image,publisher,deck,description&format=xml&page=0

When I plug that into a browser I get a page that says "This XML file does not appear to have any style information associated with it. The document tree is shown below." at the top and then has a fairly large XML tree. I can post that if you want but it's long.

[evilhero]

Yeah the doc is normal xml so it should be translated by mylar just fine (it works for me).

How exactly are you running mylar (or starting it)? It appears it's something definitely local to your install - as you can retrieve the api xml request just fine.

[wraith1385]

I'm just starting it through the .vbs file.

[evilhero]

Umm mylar doesn't come with a .vbs ;)

[wraith1385]

Sorry the vbs file contains this:

Set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell") WshShell.Run chr(34) & "C:\Mylar\Mylar.py" & Chr(34), 0 Set WshShell = Nothing

[evilhero]

Ok so you're running it as a daemon.

Can you try directly running it from a command prompt (or thru the git shell) - just cd into the mylar root directory and then type in 'python Mylar.py'

Don't close the cmd window as all the console logging will be displayed in the window as well - when you do a search it might pop up a console error.

[wraith1385]

I don't see any errors in the command prompt, I still get the error when searching most series, but some reason the one below works fine.

[evilhero]

Very weird if it's sporadic. You said you're running python2.7.10 can you verify on the configuring screen /1st tab that it's correct?

Are you running a particular type of python (Iron Python, etc)?

Also how did you install mylar - via git or from source?

[wraith1385]

Python Version : 2.7.10

And no, no particular type. This worked fine last week.

[evilhero]

Weird thing is there hasn't been an update to the dev branch in almost 2 weeks - and the last commit, which you're on, has no reference to using the mb.py file.

Did you do any updates for python or similar as of late?

You could always try reinstalling via git/source to ensure you have a clean copy.

Just make sure to backup your existing config.ini, mylar.db and your cache folder (for comic images).

[wraith1385]

I haven't updated anything. I'll try to reinstall tomorrow.

[wraith1385]

I backed up the files you said to, completely deleted my Mylar folder, reinstalled using git, restored the files that I backed up and still get the same problem.

[tycho5]

I'm getting the same issue as well. I'm running this in CentOS 7, simply running ./Mylar.py &

It's super weird as I was using Mylar extensively last night (had to rebuild my collection after I accidentally deleted it). It was working fine then I go to add some comics tonight and I start getting 500 errors when hitting enter or search.

[tcn33]

Same thing here as the previous poster. Ran fine last week, doesn't work today. No updates to anything at all (until i updated Mylar from two commits behind in an effort to fix the issue - it didn't). Seems to point to an external cause.

[evilhero]

@tcn33 : the URLError message was in relation to an incorrect api url that was being used throughout Mylar. The commit that went up late yesterday changed it to the correct url.

What commit / branch of Mylar are you currently running ?

[tcn33]

I'm on the development branch, caa8654b4a5256d8e1fc8de5f9695d5d148575e5.

[evilhero]

Yep, you're a few commits behind still (2 commits).

Current development commit that has the fix is : 72065be

[tcn33]

Yep, looks like I updated but it didn't take until I restarted from the Mylar gui rather than restarting the service from the command line. Thanks :+1:

[wraith1385]

I didn't realize there was an update, but when I try to update from Mylar it doesn't work and I see this error in the logs.

[wraith1385]

Never mind, I decided to actually read the error and realized it was a git problem. Updated now and it looks like that fixed my issue as well.

[wraith1385]

Hello, I updated today to the most recent dev update and I am once again getting these errors when searching for series.

[evilhero]

I'm not really sure what's going on - the ExpatError would indicate a malformed xml response from CV, which might be related to their api in some way - but I've never seen it before until you posted previously about it.

That was resolved on its own if I'm correct? Aside from that it might have something to do with the parser but seeing as how it fixed itself, and nothing has changed on the parser side since forever it would seem to point back to something at CV happening...
