Is BMT striking out with TVDB more often?
I'm wondering if BMT (yeah it's really phoenix, but BMT is shorter ) is not getting results and/or timing out more often with TVDB in the past few weeks. Case in point, BMT found squat for my recordings tonight. Obviously if the issue is TVDB not responding, there is nothing that could be done other than possibly scheduling a retry at a later time, but should I really need to add a regex for matching every show to its TVDB id? If so I can, but I was under the impression that the mediatitles.xml was just for tweaking and/or pathological cases.

Here is a snip from phoenix-metadata.log
Code:
2011-04-01 21:00:03,712 - ERROR; f:\Recordings3\Chaos-Pilot-9542473-0.mpg; Chaos; 9653888; Failed while parsing series: MediaSearchResult [extraArgs={CLEAN_TITLE: Chaos,EPISODE_TITLE: Pilot,RAW_TITLE: Chaos,EPISODE_DATE: 2011-04-01,}, id=193801, imdbId=null, metadata=null, providerId=tvdb, score=1.0, title=Chaos, type=TV, url=193801, year=0]

To my eye it looks like Chaos failed to find anything then Blue Bloods and Merlin timed out. I could be mis-reading the logs though

Disclaimer: I am running 7.1.5 but I didn't flush the guide data when I updated last weekend (had to wait for Diamond!) so the S/E data is probably not available in my guide data for this week or the next.

Also, I'm not complaining; I'm questioning and hoping there is a solution that doesn't require much (any) coding on your part

In looking at your logs (thanks for posting) I think you've summed it up pretty good. The first failure was a regular failure (ie search completed but no good matches) and the other 2 were timeouts.

As for the first failure, it appears that "chaos" is in tvdb twice, and as result, it doesn't know which one to use, so it fails. (MediaTitles.xml would help with that).

As for the other two. A few build back I added a retry behaviour for failed automatic lookups. At that time, I only added support for Connection exceptions (which usually happen if the server is too busy) but I forgot add support SocketConnectException. I'm picking and choosing which exceptions to retry on, since I don't want to retry every exception. So, this will be in the next build that I'm hoping to get out today or tomorrow.

The retry behaviour can be tweaked from the Metadata/Fanart options. There are 3 settings that control this; Automatic Retry Count, Automatic Retry Threads, Automatic Retry Delay.

Count it the # of time a failed item will retry (currently set to 5). Threads is the number of retry threads (currently set to 2, shouldn't need to change), and Delay is the # of seconds to wait between retries.

So, as its configured out the box, a failed lookup will try 5 times with a 1 minute delay between retries. If you are finding that 1 minute (60 seconds) is too short, then you can set it to something larger.

Woo, I didn't realize the delay and retry had been added for anything. I should pay more attention to the release notes Hopefully allowing retries on that exception will help things in the future.

Oh and I added chaos to the mediatitles.xml as it is one of those pathological cases.

Thanks for the help!
