-playlist does not create a output file

[xses22]

Hello I used your docker file on my server and it seems that i can't get it to output a m3u to my output folder.

"-config /config/config.yaml -playlist /config"

My logs aren't showing any errors.

What does your core config look like?

Hi. I'm having the same issue where the -log or -playlist arguments don't seem to be working in either Docker (prefered) or native linux. I'm getting 'no such file or directory' if the file doesn't exist; and if I create the file manually, I then get 'log.txt: bad file descriptor' or 'playlist.m3u: bad file descriptor'. Any ideas?

[hoshsadiq]

Can you tell me what commands you are running?

[knaksbrig]

Followed the README and running 'm3ufilter -config /path/to/config.yaml' works with a basic config. I can see the parsed output via stdout and also if I run as a server (GET /playlist.m3u). But, if I try to run once with the -playlist argument, I get the above errors.

I can't do anything with what you've given me, please paste the exact commands you're running with their output. E.g.:

$ docker run bla
something happened

In addition also post the config.yaml file taking care to remove the URLs to your providers if they are sensitive URLs.

I would like o reopen this issue as I have the same problem.

Platform: Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS - AMD64
Version: v0.1-beta.3 - using binary: m3u-filter_linux_arm64 - Downloaded executable, did NOT build from source myself

Command line: ./m3u-filter -config ./data/m3u.conf -playlist ./data/playlist.m3u

Error Message:
panic: open ./data/playlist.m3u: no such file or directory

goroutine 1 [running]: main.fd(0x7ffeacbae7c5, 0x13, 0x7ffeacbae700, 0xf) /home/travis/gopath/src/github.com/hoshsadiq/m3ufilter/cmd/m3u-filter/main.go:59 +0xf6 main.main() /home/travis/gopath/src/github.com/hoshsadiq/m3ufilter/cmd/m3u-filter/main.go:30 +0x228

The error is the same if I specify a logfile, with or without the -playlist argument.

I tried creating an empty playlist.m3u file but then I get:
FATA[2020-04-01T20:19:31+02:00]writer/m3u.go:15 writer.writeM3U() unable to write extm3u, err = !!write ./data/playlist.m3u: bad file descriptor

Content of m3u.conf file:
core:
output: m3u
group_order:
- France
- Switzerland
- Belgium
- VOD France
providers:
- uri: file:///home/Services/m3u-filter/data/playlist.ts
filters:
- match(Group, "France")
- match(Group, "Switzerland")
- match(Group, "Belgium")
- match(Group, "VOD France")

If I don't specify the -log or -playlist arguments the filtered m3u list is displayed on the console properly.

Hopefully this will help narrowing down the issue.
