Anime plugin issues

[Dazik 46]

Hey guys,

 

The Auto Organize on my server stopped working some time back. If you try to manually set the series it just shoots out a generic "Error: null". I figured it was a bug with an older version but my server has updated a few times now.

 

Current server version: 4.0.3.0

 

Here is the relevant snippet from the error log:

Any help is appreciated.

It's funny how I always ask a question, then read my question and figure it out myself.

 

In any case, leaving this here for others.

 

This is the cause and fix

The Anime Plugin updated some time back and it seems the current version stops other metadata sources from being usable (even if activated). This is evident in the log above.

The solution is to remove the Anime Plugin.

 

Edit: I've also just realized it was preventing a lot of metadata from being gathered outside of Auto Organize.

TL;DR: Anime Plugin is broken (again).
