Not working - Value Error, no JSON object could be decoded

[lylatveteran]

I don't know if you even still work on this, but this was the most awesome tool ever when it worked. Nowadays, this message is all I get when I try to start it. I double click on the Run_e621dl_In_Windows file, like the instructions say to I've also attempted to change the last-used-by date like what was suggested, but nothing seems to work.

Any info would be helpful

You need to add a minimum of 1 tag.

[lylatveteran]

I have. And I've tried using other tags as well. Maybe it has to do with the way they are added?

For example, I tested out a tag: Arbok and put it in the tags file like this...

Instructions:

#

Add tags/artists to download to this file, one group per line. Any tag

combination that works on the web site will work here, including all the

meta-tags (see https://e621.net/help/cheatsheet for more information on

tags and meta-tags).

#

NOTE: All lines in this file that begin with # are treated as comments and

are ignored by e621dl

#

Each line in this file will be treated as a separate group, and a new folder

inside the downloads directory will be created for each line in this file.

#

List any tags, artists, meta-tags, or groups of tags you would like to

track below:

Arbok

Maybe I'm not supposed to skip a line? Or is there another way I'm supposed to put it in?

Sup guys Since nobody is maintaining this anymore, I'll ask @wwyaiykycnf if he wants to add me as a collaborator so that I can maintain it in the original repo and help you guys.

Atm I can't look into your problem because I can't test as I'm on vacation but I will be able to next week

[BluBudgies]

The last run config is how far back e621dl will look for posts. So I would recommend something like: 2007-1-1 to grab all the posts on newly added tags and then you can change it back to the current date.

ok breif update, I fuggured out how to input tags they must be seperated with a return like so Tag1 Tag2 ETC... still getting the JSON error though and looking at the code I really cant tell whats wrong, will update further if I come across anything

[WispTheHusky]

Hey.

It may be because of the date format. It doesn't work on dates, but instead on days. So, you'll want to put it as "4696" instead.

See if that sorts it for you.

@WispTheHusky unfortunately that still doesn't work it now give the error of the config file being wrong and requiring the date format to be "YYYY-MM-DD" am I perhaps missing a file? it say it needs a JSON but I cant find any file in the folder that has a .json extension

[BluBudgies]

You may need to try the python method, I had some issues with the windows version myself.

[Redtile]

@BluBudgies how do I do that? I am currently running it in cmd as an admin Im not sure what you mean by the python method
