copies files from watch_dir to work_dir then does nothing (running on docker) about namer HOT 8 CLOSED

To update. It appears if I add new files to "watch_dir" they get picked-up, moved and processed.

So, the large number of files previously moved seem to have been orphaned - so moved but not processed.

How can I het namer to process the files it previously moved? Or, will this happen after a while by itself?

Thanks

Review your config file. Two major factors that dictate which files get processed:

min_file_size = 100
target_extensions = mp4,mkv,avi,mov,flv

Do the files have a file extension listed in the config? Do the files equal or exceed the file size defined in the config?

from namer.

Thank you.

The files are all of these types (mostly mp4), and are all > 300md. Settings below.

So this is odd.

My bigger concern is the new files I have added are getting corrupted. They no longer play after processing. I wonder if the metadata / images being added are corrupting the files? I have tried one with the metadata / images turned off and was ok. Will try some others. This is a bigger issue if others get corrupted.

min_file_size = 300
target_extensions = mp4,mkv,avi,mov,flv

Does the issue only occur with a specific number of files? Is the issue repeatable?

Which version of namer do you have installed? I noticed that 1.13.3 released recently. If you're on this version, you might want to try and downgrade to 1.13.2 to test.

Hello. I have downgraded to 1.13.2 and run some tests.

The issue with the files getting corrupted is still there. These are my tests:

I copy the original file to the dest_dir , the file plays fine.

Copy the same file to watch_dir with enabled_poster: True and enabled_tagging: True. The file is processed and moves to dest_dir but the file doesn't play.

Copy the same file to watch_dir with enabled_poster: False and enabled_tagging: False. The file is processed and moves to dest_dir but the file doesn't play.

The only error I get is:

❌ ERROR | error generating phash: generating sprite screenshot: error running ffmpeg command <-v error -y -ss 128.512 -i /data/work_dir/XXXXXXXXXXXX -frames:v 1 -vf scale=160:-2 -c:v bmp -f rawvideo ->: exit status 69

I assume this is the issue? How to test this?

Also - any suggestions on how to access the web-server from outside a Docker container? This would help with testing.

from namer.

What worked for me is as follows. I'm sure others have different/better ways of navigating to the web server.

Check to see if the port you specified in your docker-compose.yml file match that of your namer.cfg port entry.

Default namer.cfg settings:

# port to run on
port = 6980

# target host
host = 0.0.0.0

Snippet of the resulting .yml file:

.
    volumes:
      - ./config:/config
      - ./media:/data
    ports:
      - "6980:6980"
    restart: always

I changed host IP to localhost in the config.

from namer.

Thank you. It was just the Ports: 6980:6980 needed adding to the compose. It wasn't in the template and I'm new to docker so didn't pick this up.

So, I am on v 1.13.2 and can see the web-server / gui. Thank you.

I now need to sort out the two problems:

1 - processed files do not play (see issue #197 )
2 - how to pick up and process the orphaned files in work_dir (but only want to do this when the above issue is fixed)

from namer.

If you killed the app part way through processing this can happen. Simply moving all the files back is sufficient, please seek support in the discord channel
