I’m not quite sure what the issue is then. On centos, you need to run that whole command every time.
Oh I see. The way I understood this was that I needed to only run plexemail.py. I was hoping I didn’t have to run that long command every time.
EDIT Is there any way I can place that long command in a bash script and run it? The command works fine when I run it as root from the shell, but I get errors as root running from a bash script.
OK, I waited until today for my launchd job to trigger (I’m on Mac), but it didn’t. I was able to open Terminal and run the command manually inside my PlexEmail folder (which worked), but I’m not sure why updating killed the launchd (cron) job…
Alright, I have an error coming up that I can’t figure out…
C:\Program Files (x86)\PlexEmail-master\scripts>plexemail.py
Traceback (most recent call last):

UnicodeDecodeError: ‘ascii’ codec can’t decode byte 0xef in position 2050: ordinal not in range(128)
Would love to get this up and running, it looks pretty awesome!
Ever since I updated (I’m on Mac) the script will not automatically run. It was running great via launchd before. I tried changing the permissions on the file to no avail. Anyone have any ideas?

Searching this thread for word ‘ordinal’ comes up a few times.
Simply put, python is choking on a bit of text it can’t convert.
I remember in one instance I helped someone here find that the ‘list’ of friends names/emails/servers shared with them had an incorrect quote (` instead of ') not understood by python without filtering/escaping/special treatment. I was under the assumption @eadwyn fixed that ascii/utf-8 issue though in the latest release.
Are you using the latest from github?
If not, perhaps @eadwyn can weigh in and see if there is anything else they can do.
I found this discussion on stackoverflow- seems to have ideas about working around python’s ascii / utf-8 issues. api - UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xe5 in position 0: ordinal not in range(128) - Stack Overflow
Are you using the latest from github?
That did it for me, thanks! Had a few more workarounds after that, but that was a huge help! It’s all up and running now, Huzzah!!!
Anyone get any ideas?
Is there a really dummies guide to installing on Mac? I really want to use this but can’t get the python script to even start without a missing module error.
Got everything working on windows, just wanted to give you a shout out for the awesome app. I’ll be tossing you some beer money.
Thanks!

Are you still having this issue? Maybe Cloudinary was down for a bit?

I don’t have a mac, but if someone isn’t able to help you with a better guide personalized to mac in the next week, I’ll see what I can do.

I run into this (was unmounted) now after re-mounting the jail storage.

Could you confirm that your jail has network connectivity? That error usually means that it can’t connect to an external site.
Hi to all,
I´m trying to install this tool in my QNAP NAS which runs Python 2.7.10 [GCC 4.8.3]. Wheh I run the script I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "plexEmail.py", line 9, in <module>
import requests
ImportError: No module named requests
I´ve read in another post that it´s possible get the request module for windows… It´s also possible with linux?
And… where should I place that file/s?
Thanks

A reboot of freenas seems to have solved the issue completely, runs fine from root shell with.
jexec plexemail python2.7 /PlexEmail/scripts/plexEmail.py -t

I would also love some help on Mac. I have read through most of this thread and have no idea where to begin.
For a Mac, it could be made as simple as the following:
cd into the destination folder
git clone https://github.com/jakewaldron/PlexEmail.git
sudo easy_install requests
nano PlexEmail/scripts/config.conf

git clone GitHub - jakewaldron/PlexEmail: This script aggregates all new TV, movie and music releases for the past configured time then optionally writes to your web directory and sends out an email.sudo easy_install requests
nano PlexEmail/scripts/config.conf
Something like that would be amazing! sounds similar to PlexRequest
Decided to give this script a go today, and I believe I have everything set, but I am seeing the following when using GMail to send from:
Traceback (most recent call last):

File “c:\python27\lib\smtplib.py”, line 296, in connect (code, msg) = self.getreply()
File “c:\python27\lib\smtplib.py”, line 343, in getreply
raise SMTPServerDisconnected(“Connection unexpectedly closed”)
smtplib.SMTPServerDisconnected: Connection unexpectedly closed
Any suggestions?

Have you done this: Less secure apps & your Google Account - Google Account Help
If you have, could you try SSL?
Change email_use_ssl to True and change email_smtp_port to 465

Those were the instructions for installing on mac (note that you will have to open up the command line). Follow the readme on how to configure the config file and feel free to ask me any questions (just give me info on what you are looking for it to do).
After you use nano to modify the config file, you can test it by running:
python PlexEmail/scripts/plexEmail.py -t
Once you get that far I can help you with setting up a cron job.
