Error: reqwest::Error

[madejackson]

I get following Error trying to run any command:

Bazarr API is healthy.
Error: reqwest::Error { kind: Decode, source: Error("expected value", line: 4, column: 1) }

Bazarr is V1.4.2 on k3s behind traefik with authentik (/api is excluded from authentik)

{ "host": "bazarr.local.REDACTED", "protocol": "https", "port": "443", "apiKey": "REDACTED" }

Tried from Pop!OS 22.04 with bazarr-bulk 0.1.2 (installed automatically or manually, same issue)

Hi @madejackson, thanks for reporting this bug. I will need a few more information to be able to work on this.

1. Which operation did you try to run? (Syncing, OCR Fixes, ...)
2. Were you attempting to perform actions on movie or tv show subtitles?
3. Are there any bazarr logs suggesting that something went wrong while using Bazarr bulk CLI? (System > Logs)

Hi Mateo,

Thanks for investigating this.

So it doesn't really matter unfortunately. The Error is present for all inputs and the bazarr log stays empty (also true with debugging enabled in bazarr settings):

~$ bb --config bazarr.json movies ocr-fixes
Bazarr API is healthy.
Error: reqwest::Error { kind: Decode, source: Error("expected value", line: 4, column: 1) }
~$ bb --config bazarr.json movies common-fixes
Bazarr API is healthy.
Error: reqwest::Error { kind: Decode, source: Error("expected value", line: 4, column: 1) }
~$ bb --config bazarr.json movies sync
Bazarr API is healthy.
Error: reqwest::Error { kind: Decode, source: Error("expected value", line: 4, column: 1) }
~$ bb --config bazarr.json tv-shows sync

Thanks for looking into it. In order to further debug what went wrong, can you please kindly provide the following information:

1. navigate to http://YOUR_BAZARR_INSTANCE/api/
2. on the right hand side click on Authorise and input your API key
3. click on Episodes > GET Episodes > Try it out > Execute. You will get the response printed out below. Can you please export this response as a JSON file and attach it here?
4. Do the same for GET /movies and GET /series.

[madejackson]

Yes no Problem,

Here you go:

Episodes for series with ID 1:
response_1710154203699.json

Movies (length 100):
response_1710154365768.json

I'm experiencing an issue that looks similar to his

$ bb --config config.json movies sync
Bazarr API is healthy.
Error: reqwest::Error { kind: Decode, source: Error("expected value", line: 1, column: 1) }

my config.json looks like

{
  "host": "192.168.1.2",
  "protocol": "http",
  "port": "6767",
  "apiKey": "xxx"
}

Something that might be relevant is that the base URL of Bazarr is not /, but bazarr/.
Meaning that my Bazarr is reached under http://192.168.1.2:6767/bazarr/
And the API under http://192.168.1.2:6767/bazarr/api/

Thanks in advance!

[mateoradman]

Thank you for reaching out! I am working on reproducing this bug.

Additionally, I will improve the error reporting procedure in v1.4 which will help detecting what went wrong.

[matt1432]

I have the exact same issue with a base URL

[andonevris]

Exactly the same error here, also using a base URL

bazarr is accessible from < IP address >/bazarr

Bazarr Bulk CLI v0.1.4
Bazarr API is healthy.
Error: reqwest::Error { kind: Decode, source: Error("expected value", line: 1, column: 1) }

[madejackson]

Short update, i was able to fix it on my side. I used a base docker image to talk directly to bazarr, bypassing traefik (woahbase/alpine-ssh)

I just installed it the manual way inside this container and run the bb commands and it works.

[mateoradman]

I understand the problem now, and will push a fix soon. Thanks

[mateoradman]

v0.1.5 is released including the fix for base URL. You can set your base URL in the config.json file.

Example:

{
  "host": "0.0.0.0",
  "protocol": "http",
  "apiKey": "<YOUR_API_KEY>",
  "port": "6767",
  "baseUrl": "bazarr" <- OPTIONAL field (may include trailing/leading slash) 
}

Thanks for your involvement in resolving this problem.
