New Install Not Retrieving Data From Comicvine

Post by rotox »

Hi,

I just reinstalled my computer (Linux) and have setup Mylar. It's working fine except that it won't retrieve any comic data whenever I search for a comic.

My Python version is 2.7.6

Mylar Version: master
-- source build e64b50a3ffaf5ddb3f944576104a05e845016fec.

It is installed in my home directory /home/username/.mylar

My /etc/default/mylar is

Code: Select all

MYLAR_USER=username
MYLAR_HOME=/home/username/.mylar
MYLAR_DATA=/home/username/.mylar
My postprocessing scripts (autoProcessComics.cfg, autoProcessComics.py, ComicRN.py) are in /opt/sabprocessingscripts

My Comicvine API is in and my comic book directory is set.

If I search for "Robin" I get

Code: Select all

Badger: Shattered Mirror 	Dark Horse Comics 	1994 	4
If I search for "Batman" I get no results.
If I search for "Superman" I get no results.

Everything was working until I reinstalled my OS. I have uninstalled, erased all remnants and reinstalled twice. Even when I installed Mylar in /opt/mylar I had the same issue.

This has been going on for over 24hours. Does anybody have any ideas?

Thanks.

I'm getting the same results, although I didn't reinstall my OS, I just updated Mylar to the latest version and its behaving the same way. I noticed it once I was attempting to add the different one offs for Futures End and the search results weren't finding anything. I didn't find it odd at first but then noticed it wasn't finding results for the most basic of searchs ie: Batman, Superman. I'm sure evilhero can get this resolved rather quickly, any issues that I've ever had, he's addressed them quickly and shortly after there is a fix.

Unfortunately this one is out of my hands. It's been confirmed by users of other apps that searching returns no results or really bizarre results.

A bug has been submitted to the comicvine forums, so it's just a matter of waiting for them to fix the issue:

Comicvine search error bug report

If you know the ComicID of the series you want to add, you can just put the whole ID into the search field (ie. 4050-xxxxxx) and Mylar will auto add it directly instead of searching.

Thank god! I had been driving myself crazy trying to figure out what I'd done to break it.

Thanks for the comments everyone. It's good(bad) to know that it's not just me.

Thanks for the ID tip, evilhero. That's handy to know.

Not sure how to mark this as solved so instead I'm just going to post this comment.

As of 2 hours ago the API seems to be both fixed and holding up.
