thetvdb lookups appear to be failing

[thenezzah]

since thetvdb revamped their page, it's no longer doing successful lookups or populating episode info.

I'm getting the same issue. This TVDB change has broken a few of my automated tools. Any idea how to fix it here?

[thenezzah]

I'm imagining its just an API restructuring. If I knew anything about Python programing I would imagine it's probably trivial : https://www.thetvdb.com/api-information

[mdhiggins]

Just pushed an update that should be compatible with the latest API I've been dragging my feet on this one because the V2 API is broken with regards to poster ratings so I can't get the best poster, only the first poster so as of now that feature is broken

seems to still be having issues:

Honestly the new TVDB API is buggy and ruining the posters is frustrating enough that I think migrating to just TMDB for movies and TV shows is a better option I just pushed a new branch that attempts to do that that uses tmdbsimple if you wish to try it out

pip install tmdbsimple is a new requirement but then it should work

[mdhiggins]

https://github.com/mdhiggins/sickbeard_mp4_automator/tree/notvdb

[thenezzah]

will do! Also, as a small request, can you build in a function that only fetches and adds the poster? I've found that for some shows like Titans, it never gets Titans (2018) and therefore won't add artwork. If I could manually run a version where all it did was add posters that would be fabulous!

[thenezzah]

hrmm ...perhaps I'm not doing something right?

[thenezzah]

doesn't appear to be processing a "file" but rather the "directory" which itself isn't a media file? Just guessing.

[mdhiggins]

Did that command work previously? I didn't make any changes to the directory walking or file validation logic

[thenezzah]

yes it did. I created a new directory to convert from, and altered my batch file accordingly (mentioned above), and copied my autoprocess.ini in (the only real change made to it is in the MP4 section to 'output_directory'

[thenezzah]

i should mention i'm not married to the command. I welcome your suggestions

[mdhiggins]

Any chance its a permission issue? I was able to make a folder called prec2 and it processed fine Maybe move it somewhere you for sure have permissions (IE your home directory or desktop and not the root of the C drive)

[thenezzah]

BAH!! I had a typo in my batch! It's working like a champ so far, very much appreciated! here's a copy of the batch I use if it's of any use to you (bear in mind this was written quite a long time ago, I'd probably redo it if I were to write it again...

Also if you can think of a run command to just apply posters to a media file like I mentioned before, that would be amazing :-P

cd preconvert
::Find "sample" & "etrg"
powershell -Command "& {gci -Path "C:\down\preconvert" -Rec | ?{($_.Name -Match 'sample') -OR ($_.Extension -Match 'exe') -OR ($_.Extension -Match 'lnk')} | ?{$_.psIsContainer -eq $false} | Sort -Descending Name | Select-Object | Remove-Item}"

::Do Conversions
rem "C:\down\app\sickbeard_mp4_automator-master\manual.py" -i "c:\down\preconvert" -a
"C:\apps\sickbeard_mp4_automator-notvdb\manual.py" -i "C:\down\preconvert" -a

::Fix Filenames
"C:\program files\filebot\filebot.exe" -script fn:amc --output "C:\down\ConRenamed" --action copy -non-strict "c:\down\converted" --log-file amc.log --def excludeList=amc.txt
cd ..

[mdhiggins]

The general tagging command should always apply posters, not sure what you want specifically

[thenezzah]

Was wanting a command that didn't convert, only edits/cleans/corrects meta info and applies poster art to the media file (if mp4 of course).

[mdhiggins]

As long as the convert-mp4 option is disabled the script will do exactly that

[thenezzah]

nice! thank you so much for the help! keep up the great work, it's very much appreciated :)

[mdhiggins]

This is failing because there is no Season 30 Episode 19 of Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives It looks like the first episode works fine (Chrisley Knows Best)

[mdhiggins]

https://www.themoviedb.org/tv/4086-diners-drive-ins-and-dives/season/30

[mdhiggins]

I went ahead and added the missing episode entries to the TMDB database and started season 31 Looks like the TMDB was just a little behind compared to TVDB

[thenezzah]

cool, thank you
