Rescan not finding comics

[acurrington]

When I do a manual rescan after downloading and categorising my comics using ComicRack, I see the following in the Mylar log

2015-05-23 08:31:40 INFO [FILE-RESCAN] I have physically found 0 issues, ignored 0 issues, snatched 0 issues, and accounted for 18 in an Archived state [ Total Issue Count: 18 / 19 ]
2015-05-23 08:31:40 INFO [FILE-RESCAN] Total files located: 0
2015-05-23 08:31:40 INFO [FILE-RESCAN] Updated the status of 19 issues for Wolverines (2015) that were not found.
2015-05-23 08:31:38 INFO [FILE-RESCAN] Now checking files for Wolverines (2015) in :Wolverines (2015)
2015-05-23 08:31:37 INFO [FILE-RESCAN] Now checking files for Wolverines (2015) in /volume1/Public/Comics/Marvel/Wolverines (2015)

And then all the issues I have are marked as Archived, and Mylar doesn't find any new editions of the comics, even though they're in the directory.

it appears that it's scanning the correct directory, and then scanning another directory with no actual path. This has only started happening since I upgraded to Version 83dc652b96feb14356f7a2f48be93dc0de7db0c9

How do I fix this? Is there a way to disable the second scan?

[evilhero]

The secondary directory is just an alternate comic location for the series (think of it like you have an Archived directory and a new directory), but if you haven't specified a location it just ignores it, even though it gets logged incorrectly.

If it can't scan the files in, then it's a problem with the naming of said filenames being used, or how mylar is handling your naming. If it scanned in properly initially (meaning it got put into a Downloaded status), and then after your workflow outside of mylar it can't scan it in, then whatever filename change were made it can't decipher properly.

Note mylar can't read tags just yet, so it has to rely on filename parsing

Check the mylar.log file and post back what it had for a file check so I can see what's occurring and try to help out more.

Hi evilhero

I've finally found time to look at this again. I'm not sure what you want to see from the mylar.log file. Care to give me some more detail so that I don't post something that's going to waste your time?

[evilhero]

Just need to see what it's doing during the file-checking process. So after doing a file check within Mylar, open up the mylar.log file and find the line that starts with something similar to:

Code: Select all

[FILECHECKER] numberinseries: False
[FILECHECKER] decimalinseries: False

and ends with (as an example, the [003] should be relevant to the issue it's scanning in):

Code: Select all

[FILECHECKER] JUSTTHEDIGITS [003]
[FILECHECKER] final justthedigits [003]

I don't need to see the entire log between (it might be pretty huge if there are a number of issues), but at least one sequence of the above would help me try to figure things out abit better.

This is what I see over and over again

And another option... there are in fact 2 files in the /volume1/Public/Comics/DC Comics/Convergence Justice League of America (2015) directory, both CBZ files.

There were a ton of changes that have occurred in the development build and haven't made it into the master yet (last time master was updated was 2 months ago), and considering that you're on the master branch I'm pretty sure that it's been resolved in the development branch.

Can you flip to the development branch or are you locked in to the master branch?

I'm on an Asustor NAS, so not sure if I can or not... they seem to do updates very infrequently, so I'm not sure. Is there a DEV branch APK file I could use?

I'm on Version: 83dc652b96feb14356f7a2f48be93dc0de7db0c9 ... I assume that's the master branch.
