Installation error on Mac about trakt-scrobbler HOT 60 CLOSED

One more thing you can try, is in the plist file, replace poetry with /usr/local/bin/poetry and then reload the service. Maybe that might work. (Check logs to confirm)

Hi @iamkroot !
Bingo! This is working :) (El Capitan 10.11.6 (15G22010)
Thank you!

from trakt-scrobbler.

I'm monitoring this issue, because I have the same problem on my new Ubuntu install. :)

from trakt-scrobbler.

Aha! There we go. Looks like there's no python executable inside the virtualenv.
I'll push a fix for this soon. Till then, if you want to test, open up ~/Library/LaunchAgents/trakt-scrobbler.plist file and replace python with python3 and save. Then load and start the service again and it should work.

Hey @iamkroot ,

After replacing poetry with /usr/local/bin/poetry & loaded & rebooted, the system log is as below;

PS: @mastaka's plist file is little different from mine. Could that be a reason for this? I'm running on Catalina OS X 10.15.2

Hey @iamkroot & @mastaka, happy news 👍 Managed to get this worked successfully. Ran poetry install inside the installation dir, viola 🎊 Thanks heaps boys!!!

from trakt-scrobbler.

@prabapro Try loading the service first, then run the previous command. Maybe that will help

@iamkroot No luck bro :(

from trakt-scrobbler.

@iamkroot I'm sorry, I don't know how to do this. If you don't mind, could you kindly let me know the steps to be follow please. Appreciate it.

Sorry I should've explained better. You just need to:

1. cd to /Users/codechilli/Library/trakt-scrobbler
2. run /usr/local/Cellar/python/3.7.6_1/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/bin/python main.py command directly. (See scrobbler logs to confirm it works)

from trakt-scrobbler.

Could you check if /Users/codechilli/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/trakt-scrobbler-SsqFgJVg-py3.7/bin/ exists and contains a python3 file? Also, try running /Users/codechilli/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/trakt-scrobbler-SsqFgJVg-py3.7/bin/python3 main.py from inside /Users/codechilli/Library/trakt-scrobbler

from trakt-scrobbler.

@prabapro Let's give it one more try, in the installation dir, run poetry run python main.py and check log to see if it works. (No need to reboot)

from trakt-scrobbler.

Ah progress 🎊

I'm not exactly sure why you're getting that TypeError (seems to be working fine in my system), but we might have a solution for your installation errors.

In your plist file, replace

<key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/Users/codechilli/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/trakt-scrobbler-SsqFgJVg-py3.7/bin/python3</string>
        <string>main.py</string>
    </array>

with

<key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>poetry</string>
        <string>run</string>
        <string>python</string>
        <string>main.py</string>
    </array>

And then load the service using launchctl and reboot. Then check logs to see if it worked.

from trakt-scrobbler.

Closed by mistake, sorry.

Hey @iamkroot , happy news 🥳 both the VLC & Plex are getting scrobbled now.

Only issue we have right now is the plist file.

For the time being I'v set up an alias in bash_profile to run cd /Users/codechilli/Library/trakt-scrobbler && poetry run python main.py

Alternative solution

Created an Automator task as below (for both VLC & Plex);

Now, whenever I start either VLC or Plex, the scrobbler starts automatically :)

Hi! I can’t understand how to make it so that when starting the VLC the script just runs, instead of starting the service or application created in the Automator?
How do you save this code for Automator?

P.S. Sorry, if my questions seem stupid, I am poorly versed in the Automator, and even more so in programming.

Hi @mastaka, as you mentioned above running poetry run python main.py in the installation directory is the only option I do have right now. I'm also new to Automator & managed to come up with this after reading a few stuff from the Stakeoverflow. I don't know the pros/cons of this method but @iamkroot would be able to enlighten us on this. Below are the steps I used to achieve this, FYI.

So the idea is to setting up a workflow where once we open the VLC, automator will trigger the poetry run python main.py automatically.

1. Launch the Automator app > Workflow > Choose
2. In the search bar, type launch
3. Double click on Launch Application
4. Select VLC in the dropdown (right hand pane - you might have to click on other & choose vlc.app)
5. Again on the left pane, search run & double click on Run Shell Script
6. Make sure the shell selected is /bin/bash
7. Type your terminal command here. First we need to cd to the installation directory followed by poetry run python main.py command. But poetry doesn't work inside the automator. So we have to replace poetry with it's path. To do that, open up a Terminal window and run which poetry - in my case the path is /usr/local/bin/poetry

• So here is the format: cd <installation dir> && <poetry path> run python main.py.
• For me it's like cd /Users/codechilli/Library/trakt-scrobbler && /usr/local/bin/poetry run python main.py

8. Now go toFile > Save
9. Once saved, launch the VLC & play a video & check the trakt_scrobbler.log for the status.

from trakt-scrobbler.

@prabapro thank you very match for such a detailed tutorial!

I probably didn’t put it right, sorry. I created my workflow after your first comment about the Automator, but the problem is that it only works inside the Automator. Or if I save it as an application or service and run it.

But if, after saving the workflow , I just start the VLC, then scrobbling does not occur.

from trakt-scrobbler.

@prabapro That is what I had in mind. Since you have not indicated anywhere that you are launching the application saved from Automator (yes, this also works for me).

But from your words, I thought that you just start the VLC as usual, and after that the script for scrobbling is automatically launched — therefore I couldn’t understand how you do it :D

Thanks for the detailed answers! We just did not understand each other :)

Hey @mastaka , no worries :)

I think we have to run the app created by the Automator only once (after each reboot). Thereafter opening the VLC normally would trigger the scrobbler. No need to launch the created app every time. I'm not sure about the reason behind this :)

from trakt-scrobbler.

@prabapro Although this is a “crutch”, but in this case the problem can be solved as follows.
Create an application in the machine with a script only and add it to autoload.

After the restart, the script will be executed, and scrobbling will work, and if necessary, the script can be interrupted through the gear.

@mastaka wow, this is awesome. Let me follow this. Thanks heaps :)

Hey @prabapro sorry for the delay. Does tail -f /var/log/system.log give any details regarding the service after you load the new plist file?

from trakt-scrobbler.

Woohoo! I'll push an update ASAP with the updated code. Thanks for confirming @mastaka

from trakt-scrobbler.

@prabapro Let's do some diagnostics.
cd to /Users/codechilli/Library/trakt-scrobbler and run poetry env info. Could you paste the output here?

Also, paste the output of poetry debug. That might help too.

Try poetry env remove 2.7, followed by poetry env use 3.7. Then run the poetry env info and install script to see if it works.

from trakt-scrobbler.

Hi @iamkroot ,

Thank you for your extended support. I've uninstalled the python3 & poetry and reinstalled both via brew. Now the installation is completed successfully & restarted the machine. Tested with playing videos on both the VLC & PLEX, but nothing is getting updated on Trackt. Is there any other way that I can see whether this one is working successfully?

@prabapro Good to hear that you were able to get it installed.

Looks like a problem with the background service not starting. That part isn't tested that well on Mac, so you're gonna have to help me here a bit.

What does launchctl list | grep com.github.iamkroot.trakt-scrobbler show?

from trakt-scrobbler.

Hi @iamkroot , sure, it's my pleasure to help you to test this out. Getting nothing for launchctl list | grep com.github.iamkroot.trakt-scrobbler.

However, not sure if this information would help you. I'm using CleanMyMac app & it shows the plist item but disabled. I tried to enable it on the app itself, but when I restart, it still shows as disabled.

from trakt-scrobbler.

Maybe the service is crashing. Try tail -f /var/log/system.log. You could also use the Console.app for debugging this.

Closed by mistake, sorry.

haha, no worries. Let me do above & come back to you in few mins. Thanks mate

Ah progress 🎊

I'm not exactly sure why you're getting that TypeError (seems to be working fine in my system), but we might have a solution for your installation errors.

In your plist file, replace

<key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>/Users/codechilli/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/trakt-scrobbler-SsqFgJVg-py3.7/bin/python3</string>
        <string>main.py</string>
    </array>

with

<key>ProgramArguments</key>
    <array>
        <string>poetry</string>
        <string>run</string>
        <string>python</string>
        <string>main.py</string>
    </array>

And then load the service using launchctl and reboot. Then check logs to see if it worked.

Hey @iamkroot, seems we are on track :)

Task 1: Modified plist file & loaded (rebooted too). below is the log;

Task 2: Tried poetry run python main.py

Scrobbler started for Plex. 👍 VLC got failed. Below is the log & vlc settings.

from trakt-scrobbler.

Created an Automator task as below (for both VLC & Plex);
Now, whenever I start either VLC or Plex, the scrobbler starts automatically :)

Hi! I can’t understand how to make it so that when starting the VLC the script just runs, instead of starting the service or application created in the Automator?
How do you save this code for Automator?

P.S. Sorry, if my questions seem stupid, I am poorly versed in the Automator, and even more so in programming.

I'm not exactly sure why you're getting that TypeError (seems to be working fine in my system), but we might have a solution for your installation errors.

In your plist file, replace

    <array>
        <string>/Users/codechilli/Library/Caches/pypoetry/virtualenvs/trakt-scrobbler-SsqFgJVg-py3.7/bin/python3</string>

with

        <string>poetry</string>
        <string>run</string>
        <string>python</string>

    </array>

And then load the service using launchctl and reboot. Then check logs to see if it worked.

Hi @iamkroot ! I have almost the same problems as @prabapro
Service after restart not working in both versions in launchctl, but manual poetry run python main.py from trakt-scrobbler directory is working and VLC scrobbled.

Hi @mastaka , you're most welcome :)

I couldn't figure out the reason for your issue. See if this works: Double click on the saved file (xxxx.app) & see if vlc opens. And then you can check the log file at /Users/mstk/Library/Application Support/trakt-scrobbler/trakt_scrobbler.log.

from trakt-scrobbler.

@mastaka Great work with that!

from trakt-scrobbler.

@prabapro One more thing you can try, is in the plist file, replace poetry with /usr/local/bin/poetry and then reload the service. Maybe that might work. (Check logs to confirm)

Hey @iamkroot ,

After replacing poetry with /usr/local/bin/poetry & loaded & rebooted, the system log is as below;

Jan 16 20:56:28 Prabas-MacBook-Air com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (com.github.iamkroot.trakt-scrobbler): This service is defined to be constantly running and is inherently inefficient.

Here's the content of my trakt-scrobbler.plist file;

PS: @mastaka's plist file is little different from mine. Could that be a reason for this? I'm running on Catalina OS X 10.15.2
