Scanner won't add media

marblecup · January 23, 2024, 2:40pm

I’m seeing “bad_request” “Pouch error” and “Invalid rev format” every time I run the media scanner. Could this be because I’m on Windows 11 or is there something I can fix?

### Expected behaviour When starting media scanner together with CasparCG, scan…ning of the media folders should be done. ### Current behaviour On CLS Media scanner throws a lot of errors. The media scanner don't start when using the bat script, have to start it manually. On TLS Works fine. ---- * Commit: casparcg-server-528389a9ffb27157eacbedc2ecbc7a29446349ea-windows * Server version: master * Operating system: Windows 11 --- **_Error messages from Media scanner:_** {"level":50,"time":1703683232449,"pid":20176,"hostname":"DSGNCG01","name":"scanner","err":{"type":"PouchError","message":"Invalid rev format","stack":"Error\n at new CustomPouchError (C:\\snapshot\\media-scanner\\node_modules\\pouchdb-node\\lib\\index.js:656:21)\n at createError (C:\\snapshot\\media-scanner\\node_modules\\pouchdb-node\\lib\\index.js:665:10)\n at parseRevisionInfo (C:\\snapshot\\media-scanner\\node_modules\\pouchdb-node\\lib\\index.js:4438:12)\n at parseDoc (C:\\snapshot\\media-scanner\\node_modules\\pouchdb-node\\lib\\index.js:4488:17)\n at C:\\snapshot\\media-scanner\\node_modules\\pouchdb-node\\lib\\index.js:5264:20\n at Array.map (<anonymous>)\n at C:\\snapshot\\media-scanner\\node_modules\\pouchdb-node\\lib\\index.js:5260:29\n at tryCode (C:\\snapshot\\media-scanner\\node_modules\\pouchdb-node\\lib\\index.js:5070:11)\n at runWriteOperation (C:\\snapshot\\media-scanner\\node_modules\\pouchdb-node\\lib\\index.js:5133:5)\n at executeNext (C:\\snapshot\\media-scanner\\node_modules\\pouchdb-node\\lib\\index.js:5082:7)","status":400,"name":"bad_request","error":true,"docId":"CHL/MOVIES/40_FF_MAPS_UK"},"msg":"Invalid rev format"} This should maybe be in the Media scanner repo ;)

Use the latest release of scanner instead, which has this fixed Release v1.3.3 · CasparCG/media-scanner · GitHub. You can download the executable and unzip it into the server folder, then relaunch

Are you running as administrator?

Thank you so much. I can’t believe I was so close to the solution yesterday. I had already downloaded the new scanner and tried to replace it, but the scanner was open so I couldn’t. I was frustrated and for some reason didn’t think that would fix it anyway, so I closed everything and took a break. I just replaced it and it worked perfectly. I feel like a fool.

No, but I definitely should have tried that before posting. It’s fixed now, though. Thank you for the help and reminder.
