unhanded exception during post processing

`Processing failed for file: Post Processor returned unhandled exception: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'split'

It is difficult to help without stack trace, steps to reproduce and screen shots.

Thanks. I noticed my episodes were not getting detected. Manual post processing shows this message in the logs.

I took a quick glance at the code but didn't see an easy way to enable debug. I can poke more at it tomorrow.

alright, here is the result returned from tvdb: {'seriesid': '75805', 'lid': 7, 'language': 'en', 'zap2it_id': None, 'overview': 'Four egocentric friends who run a neighborhood Irish pub in Philadelphia try to find their way through the adult world of work and relationships. Unfortunately, their warped views and precarious judgments often lead them to trouble, creating a myriad of uncomfortable situations that usually only get worse before they get better.', 'aliasnames': None, 'imdb_id': None, 'seriesname': "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia", 'firstaired': '2005-8-4', 'banner': '/banners/posters/75805-12.jpg', 'id': 75805}

The code currently only checks to see if aliasnames is returned, and if so, assumes its a string. Because this is returning a None, we are getting the traceback, and failing the postProcessing. This looks like it was probably a change on the tvdb side.

    630             if 'aliasnames' in result:
    631                 result['aliasnames'] = result['aliasnames'].split("|")

Can fix with something like:

    630             if 'aliasnames' in result:
    631                 if not type(result['aliasnames']) == None:
    632                     result['aliasnames'] = result['aliasnames'].split("|")

Let me try out in my environment.

That's what I was just writing to suggest you. Maybe it is simpler to use:

if result['aliasnames'] is not None:

If it works please open a pull request

[jwaterwo]

I used

    631             if 'aliasnames' in result and not result['aliasnames'] == None:

This seems to work, even if aliasnames is not in the result. I'll open a pull request. Thanks.
