System.ArgumentNullException: Value cannot be null. (Parameter 'source') about jellyfin-ani-sync HOT 7 CLOSED

Hi, unfortunately that error does not return much. Does it only occur after watching that episode/movie? Or does it occur for all media?
I have wrapped the sync work in a try to prevent whole Jellyfin crashes, and this change will be reflected in the next release.

from jellyfin-ani-sync.

I've had it happen on all media regardless of which media it was working with. Though I only really tried it on matched anime of any kind.

Is it a good idea to be suppressing the error here?

Hmm okay, have you successfully authenticated the plugin? Could you try testing the authentication?
If your plugin is authenticated and the test passes, could you post your jellyfin-ani-sync.xml file (found in /jellyfin/plugins/configurations)? Please do censor all personal information first though.

Well less "suppressing" and more "log the error and not cause the whole application to crash". I personally don't think a plugin should be capable of crashing the main application, and should instead log a fatal error.

Sorry, I haven't had the time to fully investigate this. I'll try to get a set of logs within the week.

Mind cutting a patch release for this? I'd like to be able to reenable this in the meantime.

My full config is the following. Seems borderline empty.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<PluginConfiguration xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xmlns:xsd="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema">

Are you hitting the issue of not being able to re-enable the plugin because its "malfunctioning"? I can send you a .dll to replace it with that should let you re-enable it if so.

My full config is the following.

That config shows that the plugin hasn't been authenticated. I would first try authenticating the plugin with a user (if you haven't already tried). This guide should be able to help you.

Any that have been redirected here, the crashing has been fixed in the latest version of the plugin. The plugin should now not crash the entire Jellyfin application if it hits into an issue.

As for the cause of the specific issue, I believe it is because no config has been set. In other words, you have not yet authenticated any provider for the plugin to update. Please check your configuration is correct and fully set up.
