Getting the following type of errosr for the last 3 downloaded episodes (all OK, checked with MediaInfo GUI and plays fine):

Unable to parse media info from file: S:\Downloads\DroneFactory\the.blacklist.s01e10.720p.hdtv.x264-dimension.mkv: Input string was not in a correct format.

System.FormatException: Input string was not in a correct format.

[S:\\Downloads\\DroneFactory\\the.blacklist.s01e10.720p.hdtv.x264-dimension.mkv] has a runtime of 0, is it a valid video file?

Running the latest development build 2.0.0.976…

Pushing a fix now, thanks for reporting this.

3

Ditto, all the above…

thanks

Build was failing due to a broken test, 980+ should have this fixed which should be available soon.

Still seeing this error, but not on every episode…
running 2.0.0.980/linux_ubuntu install.

Your statement 980+, I’m making an assumption that 980 has the fix?

[/mnt/dronefactory/Covert.Affairs.S01E11.720p.HDTV.x264-IMMERSE/covert.affairs.s01e11.720p.hdtv.x264-immerse.mkv] has a runtime of 0, is it a valid video file?

Guess I need to crank up the log level and see if I can give you more info…

@davlav are you still getting the error or just that message? That message can come up if mediainfo is unable to parse the file properly. But the error should be fixed in 2.0.0.980.

Don’t think my problem is really parsing the file but rather what is interpreted as pass/fail

file fails ND mediainfo test

[/mnt/dronefactory/Covert.Affairs.S01E03.720p.HDTV.x264-IMMERSE/covert.affairs.s01e03.720p.hdtv.x264-immerse.mkv] has a runtime of 0, is it a valid video file?

But media info indicates 42 mins audio/video

But it does pass some as it did this one. But its appears to be created by different program and shows different results

Same release group, totally different results, very weird.

For the file that fails is drone logging any errors?
What version of mediainfo is installed?

@davlaw after some more research, it seems mediainfo (even the latest version) can’t get the runtime from the video stream, but can from the audio stream, so we need to handle both and choose the best. Added to Trello: https://trello.com/c/FvQwsTYF/489-mediainfo-runtime-from-video-stream

mediainfo --Version

reports

MediaInfo Command line,
MediaInfoLib - v0.7.59

But looking at the mediainfo site they are up to 7.65.

Such luck, looks like they have deb pkgs to download… think its work pulling 7.65?

Not seeing the the detail posted above in MjPain’s post but I will drill down thru them this evening. I finally just moved and re-scanned folders all seems fine at first glance.

Well just pulled the mediainfo 7.65 and ND 983.

So if nothing has been done to ND , then the updated mediainfo helped. Its moving episodes again.
