autotag seems hanging

[maverick0815]

I'm having a bit of an issue with autotagging. I will start it in a directory with some tv-shows in it. The script will start and shows the log. There it will download a zip-file and start expanding it...and thats the point where its hanging...for hours, even days. The webadmin will not respond anymore and the whole system slows down to a crawl.  I don't really have an idea how to solve this issue.

hmmm, this sounds like a funky permissions issue.
Can you please give me a couple things.

1) the zipfile in question
2) output of ls -lha in the directory in question.

Thanks.

I will, if I know where the zip-file will be stored.

I will, if I know where the zip-file will be stored.

Send me the name of the tv show and i will reference the DB and determine the zip.

[maverick0815]

I hate to say it, but it appears to affect all the shows I have...American Gothic, Coupling, Elementary..you name it.

I'm not trying to be a bother...but have you had a chance looking into the matter...or is it something I screwed up?

[maverick0815]

Since I encountered some problems yesterday with permissions on one of my harddisk- its a disk I keep exclusively for movies and they would only play from the core- I found out, that the group was not public, but unknown. Thats probably something leftover from my previous install. Anyways, I wanted to ask where the zip-files will be written to. Maybe its another "old" location with screwed up permissions.

see if there are any logfiles in /var/log/pluto from linuxmcetag and if that shows the location.

[maverick0815]

I'm sorry, I have to dig this up again...but I couldn't find  the location for those files in the linuxmcetag.
I think however, that the issue is a bit bigger than that:
If I copy new video files on the  the drive, said files will not be added to the database automatically, not after an hour, a day or a week. If I go to the directory containing those files, I can click resynchronise...and the files will be added.
Tagging is another issue...lets say I have a whole season of a tv-show and want to tag it- first I need to resync the the directory, then I try autotag, which gives me an error and after that one random file will be tagged. After that I try to tag each file manually, which also gives me an error- Series ID::259063Duplicate entry '7997-0-0-0' for key 'PRIMARY'- for example, but at least that episode will be tagged after that.
So what can I do about that?

Did you disable the UpdateMediaDaemon? /usr/pluto/bin/UpdateMediaDaemonControl.sh -status  will show you

[maverick0815]

The UpdateMediaDaemon is running, but it doesn't seem to do anything..

I thought we fixed the duplicate key error?

[maverick0815]

I thought so too...but like a bad penny...its back

[golgoj4]
