albumNameEnc error?

[iambenmitchell]

Hello, I just did a fresh install of windows 10, I also tried this on centos. Both give the same error bellow:

Turns out I had a weird ‘Untitled’/null album with no name and no photos in it. I deleted that and everything seems to be running now.

same here, Catalina 10.15.4

While I don't know the origin of the error a fix is rather simple:
Open "/usr/local/lib/python3.7/site-packages/pyicloud_ipd/services/photos.py", line 194 and change it from
folder['fields']['albumNameEnc']['value']).decode('utf-8') to

try:
    folder['fields']['albumNameEnc']['value']).decode('utf-8')
except KeyError:
    continue

this will skip the folder with the bad name.

@DeastinY I have tried your workaround, you seem to have an issue there.
Trying with your suggestion leads to an Syntax Error.
But i got it working:

try:                   
    folder_name = base64.b64decode(
        folder['fields']['albumNameEnc']['value']).decode('utf-8')
except KeyError:              
    continue

@dariks thanks for the fix!

i tried to do this but it said permission denied...

try editing the file with admin rights

Heyho,
the script checks for '----Root-Folder----'

if folder['recordName'] == '----Root-Folder----' or \

Within my data there was '----Project-Root-Folder----' as well. With e.g.:

if folder['recordName'] == '----Project-Root-Folder----' or folder['recordName'] == '----Root-Folder----' or \

it works for me.

Regards

Are there any plans to create a pull request for this fix?

[ndbroadbent]

+1, unfortunately I don't have much time to work on this project, but I'm definitely happy to merge a PR and release a new version if all the tests are passing

[boredazfcuk]

I'd be interested in a fix for this, however, there isn't a "fix" as yet, is there?

It was my understanding that the workaround detailed here, only skips the files that present the problem, rather than provide a solution which enables their download.

[Appelg]

@maldeS solution worked for me too. Guess that's the most clean solution since the one where we ignore exceptions might give us other problems....

[Vlad1mir-D]

@ndbroadbent
Can you please check this PR: icloud-photos-downloader/pyicloud#4 ?
Thanks!

[menkej]

Can you please check this PR: ndbroadbent/pyicloud#4 ?
Works for me.

[ndbroadbent]

Thanks @Vlad1mir-D! I merged your PR and released a new version of icloudpd: 1.6.1. Please try that out and let me know if it fixes the issue

[Vlad1mir-D]

Thank you, @ndbroadbent!
Everything's fine.

[maldeS]

cool, works for me as well! thx.
