"Directors" filter stopped working
As of today (maybe 3-4 days before today, since I last used it), the directors filter started to fail. (sorry I cannot get the padding right)
This config:
collections:
_Director - Steven Spielberg_:
directors: Steven Spielberg
fails with this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Other collections based on imdb and trakt lists keep working
I had the same issue in a script I write and figured out that the Plex API endpoint is different in the beta branch of PMS so the plexapi dependency is failing. I raised the issue here but for an immediate fix you can roll back your PMS to the latest stable release
@meisnate12, but the thing is it was working until three days ago... your issue was reported a few months back, right?
So, if im understanding this correct, for now we have to wait for an fix in pkkid/python-plexapi? And as an Workaround we may disable all plex_search features?
It looks like the python-plexapi issue was resolved a few days ago. Have you been able to look into what changed to determine if an updated release of this that includes the change or if just updating the python-plexapi portion manually would resolve it?
updating the python-plexapi version in the requirements.txt may fix some issues but they haven't release a version with that commit yet. The latest version 4.4.1 doesn't include the fix so we wait until its released. In the meantime, you can take out PlexAPI==4.2.0 from requirements.txt and replace it with git+https://github.com/pkkid/python-plexapi.git to pull the latest commits
The above [Bug Fix] Addresses filter problems #220 fixed this issue for me. I'm not sure if this is in 2.9, so I just went into plex_auto_collections.py and changed from plexapi.library import Collections to from plexapi.collection import Collections and went into requirements.txt and changed PlexAPI==4.2.0 to PlexAPI==4.5.1
