I spent hours setting up this script and it's not working despite all the efforts I've tried. First thing I want to point out is that --debug flag is useless and doesn't provide a debug.log file or doesn't show debug info in shell either. It makes it very complicated and frustrating to troubleshoot.

I'm running the script from my home folder at /home/***/Data/red_oxide

All of the files are in that folder except the torrent directory which is on an NFS share. I made sure that my user have read and write permissions to that share by creating and deleting a folder.

Here's my configuration file:

{
  "api_key": "***",
  "torrent_directory": "/home/***/Data/red_oxide/torrent",
  "content_directory": "/mnt/red_oxide", # NFS SHARE
  "transcode_directory": "/home/***/Data/red_oxide/transcode",
  "spectrogram_directory": "/home/***/Data/red_oxide/spectrogram",
  "move_transcode_to_content": true,
  "automatic_upload": true,
  "skip_hash_check": false,
  "skip_spectrogram": false,
  "allowed_transcode_formats": ["Flac", "Mp3320", "Mp3V0"],
  "concurrency": 16
}

Here's the shell output with the Failed to create torrent:

***@ubuntu:~/Data/red_oxide$ ./red_oxide transcode https://redacted.ch/torrents.php?id\=***\&torrentid\=***\#torrent***
[✅] Logged in as *** on the Redacted API

Do those spectrograms look good? yes
[✅] Transcoding Done!
[❌] Skipping due to encountered error: Failed to create torrent

I got intermodal, sox, flac and lame installed and added to path. I confirmed this by entering their name in console and I could see their version and information for each app.

I believe the script is broken. My friend who used the script successfully tried for the past 3 hours and wasn't able to figure out why I'm getting this error.

Please help me out, thank you!

Running on Windows, installed dependencies
Trying to run it with --config-file=config.json -d --debug
All I get is a green tick next to Logged in as X and then it exits, no error no debug, nothing to go with
Tried feeding parameters rather than config file but same result
Any ideas?

I'm working my way through the source and was curious if this behaviour is intentional or not?

If you are attempting to:

• transcode from Flac24
• allowed_transcode_formats contains Flac
• skip_existing_formats_check is false

then I would have expected that Flac would be included in transcode_formats but this is explicitly ignored:

Is this the expected behaviour?

Many torrents of albums with multiple discs have a separate folder for each disc. Disc 1, Disc 2, so on. When oxide tries to transcode one of these torrents, it mixes up all tracks into one folder, like this:

That's ugly and confusing (and against RED's rules).
It would be best if it copied the folder structure of the original torrent, so the converted files would end up in its respective folders.

Keep getting this error when trying to run red_oxide.exe transcode -c [PATH_TO_CONFIG]

I have tried running this program in elevated command prompt and powershell.

Any ideas?

The implementation of --dry-run differed from my expectation

Typically a --dry-run would go through the steps without actually doing anything.

However, the implementation here is spectrograms and transcodes are still generated and the only step that is skipped is uploading.

This behaviour is already handled by --automatic-upload false - which in fact does a better job because it prints the data that would be uploaded to the terminal.

I've encountered this on two ocasions:
Error: Redacted API returned an error while uploading a torrent: {"status":"failure","error":"The file or folder in the torrent that has the name 'Big | Brave - Nature Morte [2023] (CD - MP3 - 320)' contains the forbidden character '|'. Please recheck all files and folders in the directory and rename them as necessary and recreate the torrent.<br \/><br \/>\nNote: The complete list of characters that are disallowed are shown below:<br \/>\n\t\t : ? < > \\ * | \" \/\/ (Leading Space)"}

Error: Redacted API returned an error while uploading a torrent: {"status":"failure","error":"The file or folder in the torrent that has the name 'Therapy? - Hard Cold Fire [2023] (CD - MP3 - V0)' contains the forbidden character '?'. Please recheck all files and folders in the directory and rename them as necessary and recreate the torrent.<br \/><br \/>\nNote: The complete list of characters that are disallowed are shown below:<br \/>\n\t\t : ? < > \\ * | \" \/\/ (Leading Space)"}

Can you add for it to automatically replace those either just remove them completely or add an underscore (_) like they do on site.

Thank you.

No matter what config settings for pathing I change in the JSON it throws this error on Windows through PS.

Skipping due to encountered error: The system cannot find the path specified. (os error 3)

"torrent_directory": "Z:/music/torrents",
"content_directory": "Z:/music/content",
"transcode_directory": "Z:/music/transcode",
"spectrogram_directory": "Z:/music/spectrogram",

Would you be interested in adding support for this tool on Orpheus? The API shouldn't be that different.

I can even take a swing at it if you want.

It would be nice if there was a config file in a fixed place, like $XDG_CONFIG_HOME/red_oxide/config.json, specifying the config every time is a bit tiring

Multi-CD releases where each CD is in a different subfolder get their subfolders combined, so after transcoding you get one folder with tracks:

Folder

01 aaa
01 bbb
02 aaa
02 bbb
...

Instead of the existing:

Folder

Disc 1

01 aaa
02 aaa
...

Disc 2

01 bbb
02 bbb
...

If there is artwork in a folder, it already gets copied over in the correct subfolder (Disc 1/cover.jpg for example), can the same be done for the tracks?

If that's not possible, maybe there could be a setting to wait after transcoding so you can manually do the subfolders, then press Y to create the torrent and upload it, but this wouldn't be ideal.

Hello I'm having issues running red_oxide on debian (openmediavault). Below is the command that I ran with the config.json as well. I have flac, lame, sox, and imdl all installed within my red_oxide folder.

Hi,
I'm running red_oxide v0.8.2 on WSL Ubuntu with a SMB share drive mounted. All of my directories are on the shared drive.
The transcoding finishes on all of the files, but the program stops with OS error 1.
I have identified that fs::copy in src/transcode/util.rs is causing the error when it tries to copy the thumbnail to the new transcoded folder.
Using a drop-in copy function from ChatGPT that doesn't use fs::copy works, but I'm not sure how you would want to fix it. I can do a PR with the change that works for me if you would like.

Thanks!

I'm not sure how to begin troubleshooting this...

When a vinyl with invalid track numbers is detected, why do you then set cmd.automatic_upload to false?

Looking at your main.rs, it will always run the prompt to fix the tags if invalid_track_number_vinyl is true, and the uploading portion of the code is below that.

Therefore, the user will get the prompt to fix the tags, and can answer either yes or no that the tags are fixed. If they answer yes, then I think automatic upload should proceed as normal. Unless I'm missing something.

Sometimes the naming of the folder gets too long and the torrent upload fails with the API returning:
{"status":"failure","error":"The torrent contained one or more files with too long a name: [name]"}

A check should be added to see if the path is too long.

Trying to run the program on a couple of torrents seems to exit almost all of them, I've only had luck with one torrent while others hang up on either Error: The system cannot find the path specified. (os error 3) (prints after [✅] Found missing format(s) MP3 320,MP3 V0, for torrent x in group x) or Error: program not found (prints after [➡️] Transcoding...)

I've ran all of these so far with red_oxide_Windows_x86_64-pc-windows-msvc.exe transcode --debug -c "G:\RustRED\config.json" "URL"
and my config.json looks like this
{ "api_key": "", "torrent_directory": "G:\\RustRED\\torrent", "content_directory": "G:\\RustRED\\content", "transcode_directory": "G:\\RustRED\\transcodes", "spectrogram_directory": "G:\\RustRED\\spectrograms", "move_transcode_to_content": true, "automatic_upload": true }

and if it helps, i'm running this on Windows 11 (22621.1413)

If the original 24b is actually a 16b fake upload, the script will create a folder with cover pix in it and upload it anyway, which should be prevented.

I'm using the gnu linux version, and releases that have edition titles that contain special characters (kanji, "&" ...) Have the HTML entities in the folder title, instead of the special characters.

Edition title: "Limited Edition / 期間生産限定盤"

Edition title: "Russia & UK"

I will be honest I do not know much of anything about coding. If it were not for a ton of googling I do not think I would have go this code to work at all, but after hours of trying ( yeaaa go me) I actually got it to work which was dope. wanna go ahead and say thanks for the hard work you put into this software I really do appreciate you.

My only issue was every time I transcoded a file I noticed the tagging was incorrect. It seems to always list each track as part of another disk. The disk number is always the number of the corresponding track.

I do not know if its just me being a noob or if it is something that has just gone over looked but I wanted to bring it to your attention.

Other than that everything else works like a charm for me! A little bit more info I am using windows 10 used both the pre compiled exe's and ran the build cargo build function in power shell to compile an exe. I had all the prerequisite programs added to path too.

Thanks again in advance let me know if I am just being a goober or if you need anymore info.

This often happens after "Transcoding..." is printed. I'm not sure why it happens.

My suggestion would be to try uploading it as a separate gist on github / perhaps even including in this repo so that it can be easily looked up.
