[Bug]: Media Cleaner stopped working 5-8 weeks ago

[MagnusL3D-code]

What happened?

Up until 5-8 weeks ago Media Cleaner worked perfectly. Since then it has not been deleting media however.

I am getting this in the log:

[2023-02-23 09:14:04.891 +00:00] [INF] [90] Emby.Server.Implementations.ScheduledTasks.TaskManager: "IntervalTrigger" fired for task: "Played media cleanup"

Troubleshooting info

No response

Please try this build.

[MagnusL3D-code]

I am not sure I know enough how to do that, running Jellyfin on a NAS through Docker :/ However if it is the regular 2.6.0.0 thats what I already have installed through regular updates

[shemanaev]

No worries, let's walk through this. You know where Jellyfin data located since you configured it in Docker? Like where you mounted /config. You go into that directory, then plugins, find Media Cleaner_2.6.0.0 and replace with files from archive.

However if it is the regular 2.6.0.0 thats what I already have installed through regular updates

It's from #16 with my attempt to fix this.

[MagnusL3D-code]

Allright, stopped the docker, copied the files over, and started the docker. Not sure what to do now, because I don't know how make it force run.

[shemanaev]

Go to admin dashboard in Jellyfin, then Scheduled Tasks, find Played media cleanup and run it.

[MagnusL3D-code]

Aha thanks for your patience with me ! =) Doesnt look good though.

[shemanaev]

Would you mind go to Plugins -> Media Cleaner -> Troubleshooting tab and share log from there?

[MagnusL3D-code]

I would but it says:

[shemanaev]

Oh, unfortunate...

[MagnusL3D-code]

is there anyway to rollback to 2.5.2.0 ? i see i have that and several earlier versions in my plugins folder

[shemanaev]

Let's try this build then.

[shemanaev]

is there anyway to rollback to 2.5.2.0

Yes, you should be able to do it from plugins Catalog. There you can select specific version. But it will not solve your problem :)

[MagnusL3D-code]

Allright tried the new zip and it still failed and error no troubleshooting error log :/

[shemanaev]

Ok, let's try to narrow down the possible errors. Could you set -1 to "Keep for" for Movies, Series and Videos in plugin settings one by one and check if there will be error for each section?

[MagnusL3D-code]

I already have all except Series on -1 Also I'd like to avoid testing with movies, incase it works and removes half of my movies because those i'd like to save =)

[shemanaev]

I already have all except Series on -1

It's already helpful. Let's repeat our testing with new build

[MagnusL3D-code]

It did run and it did remove several files. There is one it missed but I miiight have fiddled with that a bit much during testing so maybe I messed something up with it. AND!! The Troubleshooting log works!

[shemanaev]

Nice. Thanks for debugging this case with me. No further actions required from you, plugin updates will be received as usual. If you'll encounter this issue again, feel free to reopen.

[MagnusL3D-code]

Allright ! thanks for all the help, so happy it works again ! =)

[MagnusL3D-code]

Just as a follow up, the one that didnt work, it appears I had favorited that show while trying to figure all this out. After removing favorite it got cleaned up correctly!
