"Plex URL is invalid"

[michael-muller-tech]

Hi,

I read through all of the 'Plex URL is invalid' posts and could not find a solution sadly.

Below my config:

`libraries: # This is called out once within the config.yml file
Films: # These are names of libraries in your Plex
remove_overlays: false # Set this to true to remove all overlays
collection_files:
- default: basic # This is a file within Kometa's defaults folder
- default: imdb # This is a file within Kometa's defaults folder
overlay_files:
- default: ribbon # This is a file within Kometa's defaults folder
Series:
remove_overlays: false # Set this to true to remove all overlays
collection_files:
- default: basic # This is a file within Kometa's defaults folder
- default: imdb # This is a file within Kometa's defaults folder
# see the wiki for how to use local files, folders, URLs, or files from git
overlay_files:
- default: ribbon # This is a file within Kometa's defaults folder

Command I run:

`
myname@myserver:~/Documents/Docker stuff/Kometa$ docker run --rm -it -v "/home/myname/Documents/Docker stuff/Kometa/config:/config:rw" kometateam/kometa --run

`
Gets me this error:

The library names etc. are correct.

Both docker containers are on the same (macvlan) network and I can curl the PleX container from my Kometa container.
Connection type is not set to 'Secure' in PleX either. Token/API verified multiple times too.

Not sure what else I can try. Any ideas welcome.
Thank you in advance.

Can you provide the full log? The error you show there is the very last stage after Kometa could not connect to Plex, so there will be an error associated with the actual connection attempt further up.

You also may want to take this to the discord for more eyes.

[chazlarson]

This container cannot see or access the IP in your Plex URL:

Failed to establish a new connection: [Errno 113] No route to host

That is probably because it's an ephemeral container on a different docker network.

[michael-muller-tech]

Yes, this is starting to make sense.

Doing it from within the existing one gives me this:

michael@servername:~/Documents/Docker stuff/Kometa$ docker exec -it pensive_saha kometa --run
OCI runtime exec failed: exec failed: unable to start container process: exec: "kometa": executable file not found in $PATH: unknown

I shall investigate further, but yeah, this is quite a big one to miss. Thanks so much.

[chazlarson]

That command should be:

docker exec -it pensive_saha python kometa.py --run

[michael-muller-tech]

Thank you! Somehow that's not in my path. I will try to find out why tomorrow. You have been extremely helpful.

[chazlarson]

Is this the official image? If not, the files are likely elsewhere inside the container.

[chazlarson]

Also, that docker run command is creating and tearing down a new container with each run, not on the same named network, so whatever container it is from which you can curl the plex server, it is not the one created by that docker run command [which exists only while the script runs and fails].

If you have another Kometa container up and running, you probably want to exec into it and run the script inside that container, or put this ephemeral container on the same network.

[michael-muller-tech]

Thank you! This is likely what's not working here. Bit of an embarrassing error, but we move! Thanks so much. I will play around with the existing one instead and see whether I can work it out from there.
