[BUG] - Lidarr - Stuck on video download, not moving forward. about arr-scripts

[jaycedk]

Yes you are right.
Sorry for the inconvenience 😁
Have a great weekend 😃

[jaycedk]

Well is look like you script continues when the API is up.
We can close this, as ¯_(ツ)_/¯ remote dependencies not acting nice.

@jaycedk I think the latest updates greatly improves the processes and prevents the issues that were previously seen. It will need more testing but update when you have a chance.

It also makes the logging more clear to show the problems with connectivity...

[jaycedk]

Will test it now 😀
Thanks for looking into this.
And report back my findings.

[jaycedk]

First test run.
All good, and we can now see all the errors 😎

Connecting to imvdb.com (162.243.167.202:443)
wget: server returned error: HTTP/1.1 502 Bad Gateway 🤬

I really like that I see that in the log file, that way I know what up, and why 😀

And like that you have implemented a retry limit.
That way it does not keep trying, the same thing, over and over, until end of time.

Good job, and thank you for making this possible 🤓

Seems like your having connectivity problems with IMVDB's website. Nothing I can really do to solve that...

Edit:
After reviewing my own logs, I can also see the same thing happening on my side... I can look into it but no promises... We're completely reliant on web services...

[jaycedk]

That my first guess, restarted router, restarted lidarr docker and somewhere in between changed dns servers.
pinged imvdb.com all good.
But trying there api it looks to be down.
https://imvdb.com/developers/api

[jaycedk]

Ok hmm there API is flacky down, then up, then down, up, down.
🙈🙉🙊
Will try again on monday 🙄

[RandomNinjaAtk]

Well if the API is down, that would cause it.... Again that is a scenario that I can not fix. Maybe a workaroud would be to scrape the page instead...

Relevant lines of code for anyone's reference:

@jaycedk Try the latest script update 2.7. I think I improved the existing process to hopefully have less hangups...

Keep in mind, its had very little testing at this point...
