Hi,

I've started getting this error out of the blue. Any idea why?

I am also getting the same error. I posted about it a few days back in the discussion board here. I think it happened for me after upgrading my Radarr Linux.io Docker image. I can still run TrailerTech from the command line, but the custom script in Radarr fails with similar error as you. Seems to be some sort of permissioning issue maybe. I'm wondering if it has something to do with the way the Linux.io docker container handles the automated installation of TrailerTech prerequisites. Are you also using a Docker image per chance?

[fraser-mendeco]

Yeah I use the l same docker image.

First off, sorry for the delayed response, I was deployed.

This one took some digging. It appears that yt-dlp implemented a new plugin system and had some issues with permissions. Later it was fixed with commit 6011.

You should be able to fix this by rebuilding your container causing the install script to run again. Make sure your install script is the same as the one in this repo as small changes have been made and these changes are not automatically populated.

If you are comfortable with the command line a quicker, less destructive solution is to run the following commands: docker exec -it radarr /bin/bash - Allows cli access to your running container. python -m pip uninstall yt-dlp - Removes the old package completely. python -m pip install yt-dlp - Reinstalls the newest version of the package with the fix mentioned in the commit above.

I will close this issue for now but feel free to open it again if the solutions provided don't fix the problem.

Dude, you the man! Serving his country it seems AND serving us in need of local trailers! Solved my issue, all better now, thanks again for everything!
