[BUG] Cannot decode JSON on Jellyfin Users

[tquizzle]

Cannot decode JSON Unable to use the tool, as it fails in opening the URI to Jellyfin.

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Configure .env or docker runtime vars
2. Start container
3. See error

Expected behavior I expect it to sync the way it's described (and the way I've used it before)

I am having the same issue. Here's my docker compose

  jellyplexwatched:
    container_name: jellyplexwatched
    environment:
      - BLACKLIST_LIBRARY_TYPE=
      - BLACKLIST_LIBRARY=
      - BLACKLIST_USERS=
      - DEBUG_LEVEL=debug
      - DEBUG=True
      - DRYRUN=True
      - 'JELLYFIN_BASEURL=http://jellyfin:8096'
      - JELLYFIN_TOKEN=myAPIKey
      - LIBRARY_MAPPING=
      - LOGFILE=/tmp/log.log
      - 'PLEX_BASEURL=http://plex:32400'
      - PLEX_TOKEN=myPlexTOKEN
      - RUN_ONLY_ONCE=False
      - SLEEP_DURATION=3600
      - SSL_BYPASS=True
      - SYNC_FROM_JELLYFIN_TO_JELLYFIN=True
      - SYNC_FROM_JELLYFIN_TO_PLEX=False
      - SYNC_FROM_PLEX_TO_JELLYFIN=True
      - SYNC_FROM_PLEX_TO_PLEX=True
      - USER_MAPPING=
      - WHITELIST_LIBRARY_TYPE=
      - WHITELIST_LIBRARY=
      - WHITELIST_USERS=
    hostname: ${DOCKERHOSTNAME}
    image: luigi311/jellyplex-watched
    labels: *ref_0
    logging: *ref_1
    restart: unless-stopped
    volumes:
      - /etc/localtime:/etc/localtime:ro
      - ${DOCKERWASTEDATA}/logs/jellyplexwatched:/tmp

I added the single quotes around those vars in case it was having issues escaping some characters but nothing has changed.

I also verified my API key has valid access by running http://myHost:8096/Users?api_key=myAPIKey and seeing the JSON response

I think this might be a Jellyfin issue because even Autoscan is throwing errors for me. I am on version 10.8.10 of Jellyfin if that helps

Thanks @angrycuban13 I do think it's Jellyfin as another tool tried produces similar errors while Plex's endpoint works fine.

[luigi311]

I don’t think this is related to a jellyfin update since im also running 10.8.10 and it’s running fine on my side. I’m assuming you guys are using server api keys and not user api keys right?

mean you guys try running it via docker directly or native to see if it works that way. It will rule out any issues with the docker compose setup since i dont use docker compose for this.

[angrycuban13]

It definitely seems to be a docker-compose issue. Running it from a virtual python environment works.

[angrycuban13]

FWIW, I can curl from jellyplexwatched to jellyfin (container to container) just fine

[luigi311]

Im testing docker compose and it seems to be working on my side I did it without any quotes anywhere for the baseurl and tokens and it seems to be working with the dev tag for me so it makes it hard for me to debug an issue like this.

[luigi311]

@angrycuban13 can you try doing your baseurl and token without any quotes at all and see if it works and recreate your container with the dev branch or just point to luigi311/jellyplex-watched:dev

[angrycuban13]

@luigi311 ill give it a try on the dev branch

[angrycuban13]

For some reason, on the dev tag, I get file permission errors for the log file but it seems to work fine on master. When I remove the LOGFILE environment variable, the container starts up but I get the same error

[ageisen2000]

This is also not working for me via the docker run commands or docker compose

[ageisen2000]

I changed my internal subnet settings on jellyfin and added the docker subnet as internal ip addresses. Now the tool is running correctly.

Could this be the issue? Or is this just randomly working now because I saved settings in jellyfin or something?

[luigi311]

Ohh thats interesting yeah thats probably it then. I disabled the remote access setting and set the lan network and i now get the exact same error

[angrycuban13]

I do have remote access disabled and I didn't even think to enable it.

[luigi311]

just locked myself out of my jellyfin instance, guess its time to figure out how to reverse what i changed lol.

[ageisen2000]

I did the same. Edit the xml file and turn that option back off.

ayy im back in lol thanks looks like i just had to edit the network.xml

[luigi311]

I think we can go ahead and close it since both of you seem to have resolved the issue

[angrycuban13]

Was there a code commit to fix it? Is the fix to enable remote access?

[ageisen2000]

I think we can go ahead and close it since both of you seem to have resolved the issue

Do you think you could update the documentation to outline the fix for this issue? Would probably save more tickets down the line
