Bug: The script plex_update.ps1 truncates paths when there's a space in a movie folder title, so the refresh fails #72

Leyous · 2024-02-05T15:19:52Z

Expected Behavior
A folder with spaces in the name should be correctly addressed

Actual Behavior
When in movies directory is created a new folder (for a new movie file) that has spaces in his name, the path is truncated

Detailed Steps
Add whatever movie that creates a folder with spaces in name. Used DebridMediaManager.

Operating System
What OS are you running? Windows 10, not using WSL
If on Windows, are you using Windows Subsystem for Linux (WSL)? No

I installed this version but the problem's still there.

An Example:
"Detected update on: movies/H.Pott.and.the.Sorc.St.2001.4K.HDR.2160p.BDRip"

But the complete folder name is "H.Pott.and.the.Sorc.St.2001.4K.HDR.2160p.BDRip Ita Eng x265"

This is the code that processes all paths coming from the torrent manager and pushes it to the script hook

Since I don't have a Windows machine, can you try what sort of argument escaping/encoding I should be doing in order for your script to parse it properly

Sorry dude, I'm not a developer, I understand PowerShell a little. I think you can pass the string in single quotes for Powershell to parse it correctly, but I may not fully understand the problem :(

Example: $PowershellString = 'H.Pott.and.the.Sorc.St.2001.4K.HDR.2160p.BDRip Ita Eng x265'

ErgoProxyKilla · 2024-02-07T21:20:08Z

I checked around and it seems that enclosing the whole filename between double quotes would resolve the issue on Windows. Otherwise, if using strings.ReplaceAll then the character ` can be used so that it's properly picked up for PowerShell.

Something like this?

just replace plexip with your plex server ip and add your plex token

@xkenx1995 I used the script you mentioned above but it too fails when a specific mix of a bracket and a space is involved.

Can I rather suggest to use a python script that doesn't consider the args it receives, and instead itself figures out the the plex dirs to update? The benefit here would be that one could be able to run the script independently.
I have created the script and have used it for a day. It seems to work pretty well for me. Here it is.

Do you have an example where the script xkenx1995 provided didn't work? I would like to test both your script and him for different cases.

ajitid · 2024-02-12T00:38:56Z

Ignore everything I said previously — u/Nem3sis2k17 on reddit and me googling made me discover that I could have taken in incoming args from zurg as raw params. And thus for my script at least, all I had to do was to use on_library_update: '& poetry run python trigger_scan.py --%'. (You can read about it here.) Everything works well for me now!

For the aforementioned powershell script by @/xkenx1995 however, you can follow this reddit post.

Previous comment

@ErgoProxyKilla seems like that wasn't xkenx1995's script issue but of rather zurg's. I see this output when I try to use on_library_update for some media folders irrespective of whether I've used $args (equivalent to $@) or not:

Notice that there's a bracket early at (2013) as well, but zurg fails to run on_library_update when it encounters second open parenthesis. I'm on zurg:

Another string I found where zurg has issues with brackets:

Thanks! I decided to setup Python and use your script and it's working. PowerShell was being too much of a headache.

ajitid · 2024-02-14T23:54:12Z

Kinda surprised you say that! There's stuff required to make it work, like 1. adding --rc flag to your rclone mount zurg: ... command, 2. if you're on Windows and using nssm to run rclone then reducing privilege of the service to run as local user. And I didn't mention these things in the GitHub Gist.

If it properly works you all the time, then great!

yowmamasita · 2024-02-14T23:57:30Z

I think the best way to fix this is to do the plex updates inside zurg itself to make it compatible for OSes

I'll do this on the next release

ajitid · 2024-02-15T00:05:37Z

Well putting update logic inside zurg may not pan out. Zurg doesn't know about rclone right now, and that's a good thing. Honestly the only thing that's missing right now is when a content (TV show or a movie) is removed, zurg doesn't tell what exactly is removed. So I get some paths to work with in on_library_update when a content is added, and I can pass on those paths to Plex for update, but I don't get a path on a removal of a content. I'd prefer if that gets fixed.

(Edited my comment and now it'll make more sense when read)

yowmamasita · 2024-02-15T00:21:35Z

Hmm true, it makes zurg coupled with a specific stack which is against its overall vision

There's another broken thing which is properly encoding parens on paths. Idk how to do this properly because not having a windows machine, I cannot test how different the handling is on all OSes.

I'm thinking of encoding the paths to base64 and relying on scripts to decode this and encode properly.

ajitid · 2024-02-15T00:29:52Z

I'm thinking of encoding the paths to base64 and relying on scripts to decode this and encode properly.

(If I'm understanding the problem correctly) Why not send the whole string of the path inside single quotes? This will works across all platforms. Or use Quote fn from shellwords.

I'm on Windows, and I know Go. Give me a piece of code with string paths that you want to check. I'll test them out and will let you know.

Yeah, it wasn't working for me. I had added the --rc as well as the vfs commands (since I saw it on a different reddit thread).

When following the reddit thread, I found an updated ps1 script from the same user as the first thread (which had fixed the spaces) that made it so it would update plex immediately and was testing it out. It was working but not consistently. I found it wasn't liking [ ] characters and it was back at not escaping spaces correctly.

I kept trying for a couple of hours and gave up. I came back to this issue and saw your comment and decided to try it and it worked first try, even on the problem files for the previous script.

How do I go about switching to this script instead? I'm having a bunch of headaches with the plex_update.ps1

I downloaded that script and changed the url and token, I assume I need to change the config.yml as well, but I'm not sure what I would change that too. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You would need to add the following to the config.yml:
on_library_update: '& python .\trigger_scan.py --%'

Make sure to comment out the command for the .ps1 script and also make sure you add --rc to the rclone mount command. With those changes, it worked for me.

However, I would suggest you try again the .ps1 but with the changes from the following link: final_revision_of_the_plex_update_script_for_windows

This made the .ps1 work for me on Windows. Please note that the plex token is temporary (as in, if you log into plex again on the same computer, the token changes). So you need to make sure you're using the latest one. When you login, open developer tools (F12) and go to console and put this in window.localStorage.getItem("myPlexAccessToken") and press Enter. That will give you the token for your current logged in session. As long as plex doesn't give you a prompt to log in again on the PC hosting the server, the token should remain the same.

Yes, you need to install the plexapi library if you hadn't already since the script uses it.

pip install plexapi

and this is what I get in my log whenever I add anything. I'm really not sure what I'm doing wrong. I tried the above change for the python script as well, and that threw an error about plexapi and also didn't work.
Yes, you need to install the plexapi library if you hadn't already since the script uses it.

pip install plexapi

Thank you so much! This got the python script working, I added a movie to my watch list and without touching anything it actually refreshed my library and picked up the movie!
