📎 meta.log

#

I opened a case yesterday to update my Christmas collection and made some recommended updates to my config file. It looks Kometa is not running now for some reason.

No need to attach your config,

white badger Dec 17, 2025, 1:26 AM

#

Sorry wasn't sure if that was necessary or not

tribal pawn Dec 17, 2025, 1:30 AM

#

wasn't necessary last night, still not necessary. LOL

white badger Dec 17, 2025, 1:31 AM

#

Lol seems like it was requested when I started doing this several years ago

We have evolved. 🙂

#

where did you get this? yaml default:: # Library mappings must have a colon (:) placed after them Movies:

#

that isn't valid kometa yaml, so nothing is being processed

white badger Dec 17, 2025, 1:34 AM

#

I have no idea. I assume its always been that way. It ran up until we made those recommended changes last night.

tribal pawn Dec 17, 2025, 1:34 AM

#

it's never ran that way

#

last night i told you to change pmm to default, which you did, but then you changed ```yaml
libraries:

Movies:``` to what you have

white badger Dec 17, 2025, 1:36 AM

#

I have no idea how that part got changed. I didn't intentionally edit it.

tribal pawn Dec 17, 2025, 1:38 AM

#

changing it to what it should be, should fix the "not running"

white badger Dec 17, 2025, 1:40 AM

#

Thanks. I downloaded the old file and compared it. Seems like I have it correct now. I'll try running it manually to see if it'll run.

tribal pawn Dec 17, 2025, 1:40 AM

#

downloaded the old file and compared it
where do you have the old file vs the one you are using?

white badger Dec 17, 2025, 1:42 AM

#

I put it in my Windows download folder and added the date to the file name. The config.yml file is safe on my Unraid server.

#

I'm running it manually and seems to have gotten through the beginning part so I think its good.

tribal pawn Dec 17, 2025, 1:43 AM

#

the bot still has some other good recommendations

white badger Dec 17, 2025, 1:44 AM

#

I think some of the recommendations are stuff I don't use (ANIDB and MY ANIME). I haven't looked into the others though and seen what it would take to clean those up.

tribal pawn Dec 17, 2025, 1:45 AM

#

Right but you can still comment that portion out to quiet the error

white badger Dec 17, 2025, 1:46 AM

#

Is that where the blank API key is coming from too?

#

Commented the 5 anidb lines out so that should go away next time

tribal pawn Dec 17, 2025, 1:51 AM

#

white badger Is that where the blank API key is coming from too?

it should tell you

white badger Dec 17, 2025, 1:51 AM

#

I changed all overlay_level to builder_level per the recommendation too

#

It says lines 320 and 388. Notepad++ says my config file is only 260 lines.

tribal pawn Dec 17, 2025, 1:55 AM

#

that's the line number in the logfile

#

would recommend using vscode and not notepad

Recommended Text Editors

We highly recommend to use a decent editor software to manage Kometa's .yml files.

Standard text editors (such as Notepad and TextEdit) often save text in a rich-text format which can result in text formatted in a way that Kometa cannot read. But not only that, they also make it very hard to visually distinguish the formatting, such as indentation.
Kometa requires indents to always be multiples of 2 spaces, and not TAB stops. If you have one space too much, or too few, it is very hard to notice that with a editor like Notepad.
An editor that is more focused on editing code instead of text will automatically detect the .YML fileformat and adjust things to make it easier to work. They can also try to detect possible errors even before you actually run the .yml in Kometa.

This can save a lot of time and headaches.

Preferred:
Visual Studio Code (Windows/Mac/Linux, Opensource & Free) Website
Additionally, install the indent-rainbow by oderwat extension and the YAML by Red Hat extension and leverage our schema.json file by adding this to the top of your config.yml file: # yaml-language-server: $schema=https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Kometa-Team/Kometa/nightly/json-schema/config-schema.json

Other options:
Notepad++ (Windows only, Opensource & Free)
Website

Sublime Text (Windows/Mac/Linux, Paid)
Website

I guess that's different than the line number in config file then? I have the software but forgot because I haven't had to open this config file in a while. I can only find one blank API key and its for notifarr. Should I comment out the two notifarr lines since I don't use it?

tribal pawn Dec 17, 2025, 2:02 AM

#

Yes. Those line numbers refer to the line numbers in the log

#

The same log you posted, that queued the bot

white badger Dec 17, 2025, 2:05 AM

#

I see. I thought it was reading the config file. Looks like it was referring to notifarr on both lines.

#

What are the mal lines for at the end?

#

All of mine are empty so I'm assuming its safe to comment those out too?

tribal pawn Dec 17, 2025, 2:06 AM

#

Mal is anime

white badger Dec 17, 2025, 2:07 AM

#

I commented those lines out too then.

#

Hopefully the bot will like my config file the next time I post a log

The log now contains a redacted copy of the config.yml that generated it.

white badger Dec 17, 2025, 11:50 AM

It looks like it ran successfully. Thank you again for your help.
