Problem with post processing {PATH} variable

[richt 94]

I recently set up a Linux Emby server 4.7.10.0 and have set a comskip post processing task.  The task fails with a "No such file or directory" message.  See attached log file "embyserver-63805568536.txt" at  2022-12-02 07:30:00.021 for an example of the raw error.

I did a little creative troubleshooting by creating a script that contains this line.

echo "$1" > /var/lib/emby/scripts/results.txt

The result.txt file shows the {PATH} variable is getting truncated at the first space in the file path/name.  This only happens on the stable version.  The latest beta does not demonstrate this problem.  This attempt is shown in the attached "embyserver.txt" log file. 

cat /var/lib/emby/scripts/results.txt 
/embydata/TVShows/Chicago

Can you confirm this is an issue?

 

 

Post Processing config:

embyserver-63805568536.txt embyserver.txt

Additional comments

• The problem does NOT occur in the Windows Emby 4.7.10.0
• I installed the Scritper-X plugin and was able to get comskip to run correctly using the %recording.path% argument.

Here's something odd. I have three releases, 4.7.1 - 4.7.9, and they all have the command line argument enclosed in quotes: "{path}".  I didn't change it though that could explain why your value is truncated. Have you tried your echo test using $@ or adding more positional variables - $1 $2 $3...?

Well it is definitely the little things that count.  I changed it to "{path}" and all is working.  Thanks for catching that!
