Detecting but not showing the orphans.. I think

[zetas]

At first I wasn't sure anything was happening, I had to do quite a bit of troubleshooting just to figure out what was intended and how to debug (you really should include debug instructions for such a new project, I had to dig through code to figure out how to enable debug mode :()

I had a lot of trouble with this tool mostly due to its lack of feedback on what's happening. So my first run I got this:

root@Nexus:~# docker run jakewharton/plex-orphaned-files:1 \
 --token <hidden> --base-url http://172.17.0.3:32400

Ok, maybe the file mapping needs to be done, after all my Plex server is also running in a docker container on this host:

--token <hidden> --base-url http://172.17.0.3:32400 \

Same result. Then I thought maybe docker needs to actually mount the local filesystem same as the Plex container so I went off road from your instructions and added a volume mount:

root@Nexus:~# docker run -v /media:/mnt/user/Media/ jakewharton/plex-orphaned-files:1  \
--token <hidden> --base-url http://172.17.0.3:32400 

Movies: /media/homemovies

And alas, success, or so I thought. On second glance I realized I wasn't sure if this was actually a success or not, after all it didn't say "no orphans" it just spit out the library name and it's path with nothing else. Since I started using this tool because I knew for a fact there was at least 1 file that wasn't indexing I thought something must be going on so I dug deeper. Without any kind of verbose mode or help output I was forced to start digging through the code to see if I could brain-compile the execution path and figure out what was going on. Having never seen kotlin before It was a bit of a challenge but I eventually found the HIDDEN debug option so I passed it and hoped it worked:

root@Nexus:~# docker run -v /media:/mnt/user/Media jakewharton/plex-orphaned-files:1  \
--token <hidden> --base-url http://172.17.0.3:32400 --debug
Checking Movies...
Found 1 orphan(s)
Movies: /media/homemovies

Ah ha! Some additional output! But It seems as though it gave me more questions than answers. So it found an orphan? What was it? Where? No dice. I doubted that there was only 1 orphan but I'd have to tackle one problem at a time, let's find this one first. I re-read the Readme and best I could figure was that when an orphan is detected it should list the library and the file next to it ( Library: /path/to/orphan.mp4). I didn't see that. Unless it was telling me the whole directory was missing? But if that's the case that's a really weird way to say it. After all I got 2 long stack traces before when the directory didn't exist so I didn't think that was likely (why error before but show this output now if it's the same issue?)

Without any further recourse I went back to the code and continued scanning. I noticed in your http library you allow for multiple debug modes with multiple output verbosities and even though I have never see the "use multiple --debug flags for additional debugging" (granted I'm not a java or kotlin dev so I might just be ignorant 🤷 ), I went with it and had some more success:

root@Nexus:~# docker run -v /media:/mnt/user/Media jakewharton/plex-orphaned-files:1 \
--token <hidden> --base-url http://172.17.0.3:32400 --debug --debug

Movies: /media/homemovies

Ok, so I've go some http logging output, not helpful but maybe getting there. I then went for the coup-de-grace of THREE debug flags just for shits and giggles. I can't post that output because it's literally 4.5MB of text: -rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 4.5M May 9 10:30 logfile.txt.

Looking at that file I can see it includes the entirety of the json output for my library. And the fact that I have 4000 video files in the library I suspect that json is gonna be pretty huge. Is this perhaps the reason it fails? It simply runs out of memory and pukes? Why no error message then? Very confusing.

I only post this here because I've run out of paths to debug externally and I feel I've done enough as a user to pass it on to the dev for further investigation.

In case it helps I'm running this on Unraid which is a linux NAS distribution 👍
