i'm getting this error when trying to run PMM for the first tie, , i followed the the guide and created a MAL api and added it to the config with secret and the url that start with http://localhost/?code= i triple checked that there is no mistakes in anything but for some reason i keep getting this error.
when i checked the log i can see that i get this error when trying to connect to MAL " MyAnimeList Error: Invalid code" but the api , secret , url are all 100% correct .

Online MALAuth

In some circumstances [typically NAS], it can be difficult to run PMM in the interactive mode required for authenticating against MyAnimeList.

chazlarson has a script that can do this in his repo, but it requires you to be able to run a Python script, which may not be possible for whatever reason.

You can run that script online here:
https://replit.com/@chazlarson/MALAuth

Click the green play button, wait a little bit, then follow the prompts.

Thanks for using PMM

try it with this script instead

#

sometimes MAL is being a bit weird and this has helped a lot of people

#

if that still doesnt work, then please post a full meta.log file for us to look at

Providing Log Files

You have been asked to provide your log file, which will allow us to support you further.

You can find your meta.log file within the logs folder of your Plex Meta Manager config folder (typically the logs folder is in the same directory as your config.yml file).

Drag-and-drop your meta.log file directly into the Discord support thread. If the file is larger than 50mb, we suggest zipping it or uploading it to another file-sharing website.

Please DO NOT manually extract, copy and paste text from your log files directly into Discord as the formatting can be difficult to read and can often redact parts of the log file that are important for full context.

Thanks for using PMM
