Playlist.info.json ignored if using a youtube.id file instead of specifying the playlist ID directly in the playlist folder

[herrenP]

Platform

Operating system and version: Synology NAS DSJ921+ / DSM 7.1-42661 Update 3

Plex version: 1.28.0.5999-7000

Expected Behavior

Playlist.info.json should be detected and read

Current Behavior

Playlist.info.json is not detected

Steps to Reproduce

1. Create a youtube.id file and insert a playlist ID (for example [PL2B009153AC977F90])
2. Create a Playlist.info.json (in my case youtube-dl -J --dump-single-json > Playlist.info.json https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL2B009153AC977F90)
3. Make sure playlist folder does not have a playlist ID in it's name (in my case I used AVGN as folder name)
4. Scan library files

Additional information

Output from "scanner.log" when I am using playlist ID in folder name:

Thanks for the very good reporting. Could you please attach the Playlist.info.json file? I do not use Plex anymore, and I believe I can change the search function to no longer require id file or playlist entry on foldername...

Sure. Here it is: Playlist.info.json.zip

https://github.com/ZeroQI/Absolute-Series-Scanner/blob/master/Scanners/Series/Absolute%20Series%20Scanner.py#L994 It's between 994 and 1035, json file too big, crashes notepad++ old versions...

weird, line 1025 log output is not seen when using forced id in series foldername, so not using the latest code Log.info(u'---- totalResults: {}, reverse: {}, os.listdir(os.path.join(root, path): {}'.format(totalResults, reverse, os.listdir(os.path.join(root, path))))

Since the list is a dict, it is in unknown order when imported, so needs sorting, replace line 1005 with:

          for rank, video in enumerate(sorted(json_playlist, key = lambda i: (i["upload_date"]), start=1):

Did the fix work as expected ?

[herrenP]

Weird, I have missed your response from last year. I've unfortunately moved on from Plex to Jellyfin since a while back.
