Windows anydbm.error

Hi,

I just upgraded to the latest version. I did the whole installation again:

1. Cleared plex_scrobble.log
2. Removed C:\Python27\Scripts\plex-scrobble.py
3. Deleted the entire C:\plex-lastfm-scrobbler
4. Extracted the new plex-lastfm-scrobbler
5. Ran python setup.py install from C:\plex-lastfm-scrobbler
6. Ran python plex-scrobble.py from C:\Python27\Scripts

c:\Python27\Scripts>python plex-scrobble.py
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "plex-scrobble.py", line 124, in <module>
    c = cache_retry(config)
  File "plex-scrobble.py", line 40, in cache_retry
    cache = ScrobbleCache(config)

  File "C:\Python27\lib\anydbm.py", line 82, in open
    raise error, "db type could not be determined"
anydbm.error: db type could not be determined

Here's my log file:

hi @gabotronix , the exception is generated from the 'shelve' functionality. This is used to write a python data-structure to disk on the event of a scrobble failure. These are retried at 60 minute intervals.

try removing C:\plex-lastfm-scrobbler\plex_scrobble.cache from your system and restart the plex-scrobbler service. It is likely the change in Python versions causes read issues on the cache file. I will add a task to catch this scenario.

Please update this ticket if removing the cache solves (or doesn't) your issue.

Hello @jesseward,

Sorry for the very late reply. Thanks! Deleting the _plexscrobble.cache file fixed it. I'm able to scrobble again.
