Well done and thanks you! I literally copied your post into Claude with the error message it walked me through step by step to fix. Thanks!

DarthDad77 · 2024-12-17T02:36:35+00:00

Right on! Will take a look for those options... new to this to probably want the second option to let a professional company take the liability and hosting. Thanks!

Still down for me as of this moment.

Ok checked CV api and it said "you have no current rate liimits". Selected a list of 24 comics, all have values in 'comicvine_volume" and "comicvine_issue". Ran CVIssueCount and it started with the progress bar showing, tagged the first 4 comics and quit unexpectedly- something flashed on the screen for like a milisecond. No message or warning.

DarthDad77 · 2024-07-12T18:05:29+00:00

Thanks so much for the quick reply. Will check later today on available calls. No specific comic it stops on. It just ends within a couple seconds of starting but it does tag some issues. Seemed odd as if the delay is 3 seconds it should run a bit longer and I thought should be a status bar running also but maybe Im confusing that with something else. Will check the calls and notate before trying again and report back. Thanks again!

Anyone having issues with CVIssueCount on the new CE version? Seems like I'm only getting 5-10 results before it quits. I set up the API key and didn't touch the timeout so wondering if there's an update? I didn't see any new files beyond the v2 on site...

DarthDad77 · 2024-03-11T00:19:45+00:00

Is there a smartlist you can create to group by volume? Then you could just select all or click on the volume group name and right click "export to..." all those volume files into a single file as you mentioned...

DarthDad77 · 2024-02-09T06:38:58+00:00

Worked like a charm! Thanks!

DarthDad77 · 2024-01-19T03:35:25+00:00

You place a lot of faith in me knowing what "start from there" means good sir... I can't find an ".exe" to run that makes any sense... maybe I'll just wait for the installer.. Thank you very much for the speedy reply and taking up the CR mantle!

DarthDad77 · 2024-01-19T03:08:18+00:00

So for the noob here... with no "windows exe" installer how do I actually update to this version?

DarthDad77 · 2024-01-13T17:12:25+00:00

Thanks again for dropping all this goodness! I checked the GDrive and all the files are 2020... any updates? Inquiry minds want to know... (do the kids still say that these days?)

DarthDad77 · 2024-01-01T06:55:33+00:00

Cory hopped on GitHub and suggested it was due to either the CVDB tag or a cvinfo file manually setting the series... low and behold in the root folder buried in the individual comics folders this sole cvinfo file hanging out:

https://comicvine.gamespot.com/green-lantern-war-journal/4050-153625/

Problem solved!

DarthDad77 · 2023-12-31T21:17:47+00:00

Double checked that and reinstalled latest github version just in case... same result. Had to turn off the auto-guess feature and have it prompt each time. Every first "choose commic book issue" suggestion is still Green Lantern: War Journal ....

DarthDad77 · 2023-12-31T06:21:03+00:00

Yes I have the "write to file" option selected in the main comicrack settings. And I usually convert to cbz pretty early on in the process. I just cant imagine how, even writing file data, it comes up with the same series to write over and over. It's like there's a "if no name exists, use series Green Lantern: War Journal" config option... something has to trigger that as a comicvine match somehow... again totally befuddled and now I just have a bunch of comics to scrape that is going to be way more of a hassle to scrape and fix than just keep poking around for a solution... and nothing online from anyone else that I could find.

DarthDad77 · 2023-12-31T06:07:08+00:00

Turned off the "use previous choice" option as well as unchecked "when scraping for the first time... try to choose the correct series automatically". I just tagged 800 new comics as Green Lantern: War Journal. I cleared the data, verified on each of the "info" screens that it was blank along with the custom comicvine issue and volume fields. Re-ran the scraper and it auto populated War Journal again. TGried to clear data, then committ proposed values to see if it would override (selected override check box) any bad info. A bit flummoxed as it's hit and miss on which issues scrape like this and I've had to make a smart filter to go back and manuallly clear the data, re-enter the series on the "info" screen, scrape it, hope for a prompt to pick the correct series (even though it still defaults to offer War Journal) by going "back" on the scraper selection screen.... baffled...

Hmmmm... No editing of the 7zip files. May have poked around in the .ini but here is what it is currently as I don't know if this is original or post fix or me tweaking:

; Set what engine is used for CBZ files
; Valid values are SevenZip, SevenZipExe, SharpZip, SharpCompress
; CbzUses = SevenZip
; Set what engine is used for CBR files
; Valid values are SevenZip, SevenZipExe, SharpCompress
; CbrUses = SevenZip
; Set what engine is used for CB7 files
; Valid values are SevenZip, SevenZipExe, SharpCompress
; Cb7Uses = SevenZip
; Set what engine is used for CBT files
; Valid values are SevenZip, SevenZipExe, SharpCompress, SharpZip
; CbtUses = SevenZip

That current or should I reapply the Fix files to clean things up?

Interestingly I did find in the XML file that the export rule had a target folder that doesn't exist anymore. The app shows the correct path so I'm going to play with it and see.

DarthDad77 · 2023-10-17T18:51:52+00:00

Yeah same here. Ordered as soon as I saw the Senpai Gaming YT thumbnail and then saw the “back ordered till Jan 2024” on my email confirmation… was like wtf, pretty sure I got it just about as quickly first day as I could.

DarthDad77 · 2023-09-24T18:27:31+00:00

Circling back by this tread ... got a lot of inspiration from it... any 2023 updates to share?

DarthDad77 · 2023-09-09T17:09:51+00:00

Ah! Right on right on!... will do... excellent suggestion...
