Upgraded from a very old March 2017 commit to nzbToMedia v12.1.10 - PP fails with error: terminated with unknown status about nzbtomedia HOT 4 OPEN

it is failing to load the .cfg file. something in this file is invalid.
if you email to [email protected] I can try to load it here and see what is failing.... but I suspect there is a category or sub-category that should have a path parameter that is missing.

from nzbtomedia.

I found that my .cfg file had blank category sections, such as:

[[""]]
    apikiey = ""
    host = ""
    port = ""
    ssl = 0
    web_root = ""
    enabled = 1

I think the reason for this was because in the UI, I deleted the text that was in the category name field for all of the services that I do not use, not knowing the negative effect it'll have. I decided to directly change the blank values back to some other text (in the .cfg file) and for good measure I set these sections so that 'enabled = 0' is set too, now everything was working fine. FYI, I just named the service categories respectively, e.g Sickbeard section became 'sickbeard' (instead of blank or it's original title 'tv' and Watcher3 was labeled 'watcher3' etc.

Out of curiosity I took a look in the configuration in the UI or NZBget and it doesn't appear to reflect the manual changes I made in the .cfg file... Does directly editing the values in the .cfg override the ability to see the settings in the UI (NZBGet)?

When I returned to look at the .cfg file, I noticed my sections have reverted 'enabled' to '1'. That has just confused me. But since it's working I don't need to tinker. Although, I'm unsure which is taking precedence, the actual .cfg file, or whatever datasource is populating the UI.

Whilst i'm here, the last 2 errors (Warnings) in the logs I get is:
LifetimeWarning: Python 2.7 is no longer supported. - but I have Python 3.7 installed too. Any ideas what I can/should do about this? and,
UserWarning: beets.mediafile is deprecated; use mediafile instead - but I have no idea how to remediate this?
Thanks.

glad it is working.

With NZBGet, the NZBGet gui config takes precedence (i.e. the config in NZBGet is written into the .cfg file on run). Any category defined in the NZBGet gui will be set as active.

When using NZBget, all config shuld be done through the gui and then only edit the .cfg if there are additional/advanced features you want to use that are not in the gui config.

For Python versions. There are 2 ways to switch to 3.7...

1. Change the default version for your system. i.e. change /usr/bin/python symlink to point to python3.7 and not python2.7
   (Note that this will impact other apps as well.... but honestly, python 2.7 is pretty old now)

2. Use NZBGet Shell override so that all .py scripts are launched by python3.7
   (in EXTENSION SCRIPTS,, SHELL OVERRIDE, I think you set this as .py=/usr/bin/python3.7 or similar, using the path to your python3.7 binary.

Thanks @clinton-hall , I appreciate you taking the time to look at my issue.

I began to write a follow up reply, but I realised it deserves it's own issue post rather than hijacking this thread, so here is a link to my new issue for what it's worth: Issue #1964

I noticed that I cannot start fresh with nzbToMedia because somewhere my settings are being stored other than in the autoProcessMedia.cfg file. For example, if I completely delete the nzbToMedia folder and restart NZBGet, I can confirm the various .py scripts are not available in NZBGet (as you'd expect). I then proceed to clone the git for nzbToMedia, and can confirm that everything is new, even the autoProcessMedia file has the default ".cfg.spec" file extension. But when I go into NZBGet, I can see all the new .py scripts that allow you to configure, but all the settings are already pre-populated from what I had previous to me deleting it - so it's saved/cached the settings somewhere and ideally I wanted to start from fresh. Any ideas how to get a clean start? Are these settings being stored in a NZBGet db somewhere perhaps?

By the way, I used your suggestion with the SHELL OVERRIDE in order to set the .py extension to be handled by my Python v3.10 and it works, so now I have one less error. Thank you. The remaining error however is this userWarning:
UserWarning: beets.mediafile is deprecated; use mediafile instead
