Series list is empty

[Karmalakas]

My PC died and I'm setting up FlexGet from scratch with my old config. I'm using Trakt plugin and I ran a task to set series begin successfully. I see all the series when I run flexget series list all:

+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------+
|                |        | Last           |     |            |               |

...

But list is empty when I run flexget series list:

+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
| Name | Begin | Last Encountered | Age | Downloaded | Identified By |
|------+-------+------------------+-----+------------+---------------|
+--------------------------------------------------------------------+
Use `flexget series list all` to view all known series.

And when I run the discover task, I'm getting:

2024-01-18 00:20:19 WARNING  utils         discover-series-episodes Input next_series_episodes did not return anything
2024-01-18 00:20:19 VERBOSE  discover      discover-series-episodes Discovering 0 titles ...

Any advice? What am I missing to get it going like it did?

I excluded 4 last templates, because they don't do any discovery

Without even a snippet from the config we can only take blind guesses such as: maybe you don't have series\configure_series inside your discover-series-episodes task

[Karmalakas]

You're quick 🙂 Yes, I realized I missed the config (it's 1AM here already and I'm about to pass out 😂) and while I was editing, you posted a reply 🙂 Hopefully that's enough now to go on 🤞

[BrutuZ]

This may sound stupid but gotta cover all bases:

• Since you reinstalled from scratch, did you remember to re-authenticate trakt?
• Is the configure_series properly populating the series plugin? You can check that by running the task with the --dump-config CLI flag

I did

Would you mind posting full command? Not sure I understand with which one I should use the flag 🤔

[BrutuZ]

flexget execute --task discover-series-episodes --dump-config
https://flexget.com/CLI/execute

[Karmalakas]

Oh, gotcha

flexget execute --tasks discover-series-episodes --dump-config

It has the full list of the series:

Removed some parts of dump

I don't immediately see anything wrong. Maybe it's just stuck in the interval or cache? Could try a single run with --discover-now --no-cache to be sure

Personal note: 15 minutes does seem excessive for discover.

OK, so this was why I created the topic:

there.

And now it's doing something:

There is a FlexGet process already running for this config, sending execution 
there.

Didn't change in the config anything, so maybe it was some cache or something 😕
Hopefully it works now. Will update here when I wake up.

Really appreciate such prompt responses and quick advice how to check things 🙂
Thank you! (for now at least 😄)

I see now entries get accepted, but I have different issue. Can't figure out how to resolve the Deluge SSL problem - it times out when trying to add torrents.
