Some troubles with matching the titles

[imrs776]

I have some troubles with incorrect recognision of my watchlist. The service at first deletes the title on start, and after several seconds it adds it back and start the downloading. Added some logs from from watchlistarr and generated rss watchlist.

Looks like it tries to remove the items besides of the fact that it is present in the rss list.

This is really interesting, I haven't seen this before!

I'd suggest you turn off the deleter sync for now (using the ALLOW_MOVIE_DELETING variable), until we can figure out what happened here.

Let me try this on my side first (tomorrow), and if I can't replicate it then I'll ask you for some more details.

This continues to elude me, could you provide me some more details?

Let's drill in on just one movie and understand what's happening:

Captain America: Civil War

Could you look up this movie in Plex, find the friend who's added it to their watchlist, then go to their profile and see if the movie shows up on their watchlist? Your RSS feed you provided has 39 items, which matches up with the number of items that were fetched via plex token, so I doubt it's an issue with fetching the items. But best to be sure.

Also, has this happened only once, or several times?

[imrs776]

The Captain America: Civil War is added by me, and as I understand only by me. There are 39 items in my watchlist right now, and also a lot of items in my friends watchlist.

This happends after any restart of the container. Here is the logs after restart right now:

For some reason it finds only 20 items in my watchlist. But there are, as I said, 39, plus some unknown amount from my friends watchlists.

I also tried to set SKIP_FRIEND_SYNC=true:

I have check one more this. There is an item in my watchlist Captain America: Civil War. There is an item Captain America: Civil War in my RSS feed. There is no item Captain America: Civil War in my friend RSS feed.

my RSS feed.txt friends RSS feed.txt

[imrs776]

I also checked the number of items in RSS feed and there are:

• 39 in my feed
• 28 in my friends feed and also 5 items are duplicates.

So, this means that it should sync 62 items.

[nylonee]

This is very interesting, there's a chance that this is because we fetch items from Plex one page at a time, and Plex might be delivering a different "page" to you than what I've been using as a template. Would you be okay with reaching out to me on discord (nylonee)? I would like to create a custom container for you to run with some extra debug logs enabled, so that we can identify the issue

[imrs776]

sure, I've just sent you a request

[nylonee]

For posterity, we discussed offline and found that there are a few changes that Plex has made to their API to limit the watchlist API to only return 20 items (for the main user). We've found a workaround and I'll get coding away on that.

There's still the aspect of friends watchlists that is not working which I'll investigate as well as part of this.

[nylonee]

@imrs776 Sorry I didn't get back to this in a while. I've taken a look and my friends sync seems to be accurate, are you still facing issues with this or should I close this?

[nylonee]

Will close this issue for now, if the issue is persisting then feel free to open a new one :)
