SickChill not starting after upgrade to Python3

[modem]

Before submitting your issue:

Enable debug logging in SickChill settings, reproduce the error (be sure to disable after the bug is fixed)

Branch/Commit: 64e55244d Release 2020.9.6.post7
OS: raspbian
Browser: all
What you did: upgraded Sichchill to the Python3 version and updated to startup script accordingly
What happened: ShckChill fails to start (log below)
What you expected: SichChill to start
Logs:

I manually updated SickChill to the Python3 version with git pull command:
sudo git reset --hard FETCH_HEAD
HEAD is now at 64e55244d Release 2020.9.6.post7

I also updated my startup script to use python3:
sb_datadir=/mnt/Elements/var/sickbeard
sb_config=${sb_datadir}/sickbeard.ini
/usr/bin/sudo -u pi -H python3 /mnt/Elements/usr/local/SickChill/SickChill.py -d --datadir ${sb_datadir} --config ${sb_config}

Starting SickChill without arguments also gives the error showing above.

Did I do something wrong? Did I miss something?

Did a search in google for the magic numbers error and found that when migrating from python2 to python3 we need to clean the pyc files, so I've executed the following command on the installation folder and also on the settings folder:
find . -name \*.pyc -delete

I also deleted the cache.db file.

Now SickChill starts, but I can't see the web interface, instead I see the following error in the browser:
Looks like we do not have enough disk space to render the page! {error}

On the log file I can only see this:
2020-09-07 12:58:13 INFO :: MAIN :: Starting SickChill [master] using '/mnt/Elements/var/sickbeard/sickbeard.ini' 2020-09-07 12:58:13 INFO :: WEBSERVER :: Starting SickChill on http://0.0.0.0:8081/ 2020-09-07 12:58:13 INFO :: MAIN :: Checking for scene exception updates from https://sickchill.github.io/scene_exceptions/scene_exceptions.json 2020-09-07 12:58:13 INFO :: MAIN :: Checking for XEM scene exception updates for theTVDB 2020-09-07 12:58:13 INFO :: MAIN :: Checking for scene exception updates for AniDB

[modem]

Solved!

Here's what I did after reading some more:
Deleted several files and folders that are not needed (will be recreated after SickChill starts) with the following commands on the SickChill install dir and also on the data dir:
find . -name "*.pyc" -delete
find . -type d -empty -delete
find . -type d -name __pycache__ -delete

Deleted the cache.db file and cache folder from the data dir.

Changed the permissions to the pi user (I run SickChill with the pi user) to all files in the install dir and also on the data dir:
sudo chown pi:pi -R

Started the SickChill service and now the page loads. No errors so far.

Finally, on the web interface, I had to go to the Mass Update page to perform a rescan on all TV Shows for the images to be shown.

The End. :)

I would leave this issue open for a few days so it is shown for everybody in case they face the same issue.

[raydowe]

I'm having a very similar problem. I've tried the advice above but hasn't had an impact:

Traceback (most recent call last):

    msg = re.sub(fr'\b({item})\b', '*' * 8, msg)
                                ^

[miigotu]

@raydowe it needs to be started with a python3.6+ interpreter.

[Ulrar]

Same issue as @modem above :

Looks like we do not have enough disk space to render the page! {error}

Tried deleting all the cache, pyc and pycache files as stated but it hasn't changed anything unfortunately.
Not much in the logs either.

EDIT: Nevermind, guess something didn't go well when I git pulled.
I re-cloned the repo and it's starting fine now

[fireph]

I am running into the same

Looks like we do not have enough disk space to render the page! {error}

after updating using pip on python 3.8 (was working fine on a version from a few days ago)

I tried deleting pyc and pycache but didn't make a difference. (and no errors in the logs)

I have also tried resetting the permissions on the sickchill data directory, but no luck :(

[miigotu]

It's permissions on the cache dir.

[jamver]

@raydowe it needs to be started with a python3.6+ interpreter.

That's going to be a major problem for Debian 8/Jessie/Netgear ReadyNAS users, as Python 3.4 is the latest packaged Python available.

[miigotu]

Python 3.1-3.4 is persona-non-grata. Talk to the maintainers about providing a package or compile it yourself.

[fireph]

@miigotu I have deleted the cache directory and cache.db and they get recreated by sickchill no problem but the issue still persists. (I have even tried running chmod -R 777 on the sickchill data directory as well just in case)

[miigotu]

chmod -R 777 /path/to/sickchill/gui/slick/cache

Problem arises because you did the pip install with sudo or in the global site packages rather than --user.

[miigotu]

@jamver very likely that a python3 deb from the deadsnakes PPA which uses systemd (xenial most likely) will install and work fine on Jessie.

https://launchpad.net/~deadsnakes/+archive/ubuntu/ppa/+packages

Netgear really needs to get on the ball and get you up to Debian 10+.

[fireph]

I'm doing this all in a FreeNAS jail, can't really run pip commands without being the root user it seems :/

why does sickchill need to modify the files in the pip directories? aren't those static files? (I have my sickchill data directory in ~/sickchill, separately from the pip install location)

edit: I finally got it working by running chmod -R 777 /usr/local/lib/python3.8/site-packages/sickchill, gross 🤮
hopefully future versions of sickchill can function without needing modification permissions on pip install files

@fireph or you could just use the updated iocage...

You'll get a captcha either way if you don't add cookies for the providers that need them. Looks like that python3.6 will work (or you can find the newer openssl1.1.1 externally)

[DavidPinilo]

I'm on Raspbian as well and after the upgrade, Sickchill crashes constantly. I've tried all of the above solutions, but it seems it still won't work. I've tried erasing and reinstalling the whole thing but still no luck. It might have something to do with the systemd script, which I had to write myself because Sickchill doens't come with init scripts anymore (?).
THis is the error I'm getting:

@DavidPinilo the runscripts are in the contrib/runscripts folder

Congratulations on the baby, @miigotu!

I am seeing the same errors on macOS. It would be great to have step by step instructions on how to upgrade seamlessly to the Python3 version of SickChill and get everything working again. Things are very confusing as they stand and I am sure a lot of people would be helped by clear, platform specific instructions. Looking forward to SickChill being back up and running again!

[miigotu]

@rEes9P find /mnt/Elements/usr/local/SickChill -name '*.pyc' -delete
and restart the service

[miigotu]

@rEes9P I started a few pages on the wiki, we need people to update and edit the wiki as needed.
https://github.com/SickChill/SickChill/wiki/Python-3-Migration

[DavidPinilo]

@DavidPinilo the runscripts are in the contrib/runscripts folder
However it seems your cache.db is borked and causes the service to fail and then it is automatically restarted:
Fatal error executing query with db.action in database /opt/sickchill/cache.db: near "?": syntax error

systemctl stop sickchill
rm /opt/sickchill/cache.db

I had already removed the cache and it didn't work but copying the runscript seems to have worked.
Thanks!

[rEes9P]

Thanks for the super quick response, @miigotu. On digging further, I see that following @modem's instructions got SickChill back up and running. However, I can't get the AppleScript I had working earlier (do shell script "python /Applications/SickChill/SickChill.py") to run as it doesn't work on Python 3 scripts. I conflated the issue with the script with the SickChill upgrade but see now that I can get SickChill to start running via the Terminal.

In case others on macOS are curious, these are the steps that I followed to get SickChill working.

1. Stop SickChill if it is running.

2. Cd into the SickChill directory and run the following commands (from the FAQ) to update to the Python 3 version. @miigotu, please correct me if this is incorrect!

git remote set-url origin https://github.com/SickChill/SickChill.git
git remote set-branches --add origin master
git remote update
git fetch origin

git checkout master
git branch --set-upstream-to origin/master
git reset --hard origin/master
git pull

1. Cd into the SickChill directory and run the following commands, as posted above by @modem:

find . -name \*.pyc -delete
find . -name "*.pyc" -delete
find . -type d -empty -delete
find . -type d -name pycache -delete

1. Delete the cache.db file and cache folder from the data directory.

2. Start SickChill by running the python /Applications/SickChill/SickChill.py command in Terminal

[miigotu]

do shell script "python3 /Applications/SickChill/SickChill.py

[rEes9P]

do shell script "python3 /Applications/SickChill/SickChill.py

I tried that but I get "Syntax Error: sh: python3: command not found" 🤷🏻‍♂️

FWIW, I have Python 3 installed via MacPorts

[miigotu]

@rEes9P use the full path to python3 do shell script "/path/to/python3 /Applications/SickChill/SickChill.py

You can do whereis python3 to find the path

[rEes9P]

@miigotu Thanks, that worked like a charm! I had to make one minor modification to find the path for Python as whereis python3 did not work but which python did. So, the modified shell script for my setup is:

do shell script "/opt/local/bin/python /Applications/SickChill/SickChill.py"

Again, for those just looking at this post, this is for macOS with Python 3.7 installed via MacPorts. I have set Python 3.7 as the default version. For those that don't have Python 3 as the default version, find the path to Python 3 with the command which python3 and modify the script accordingly.

[DBMandrake]

@raydowe it needs to be started with a python3.6+ interpreter.

Why 3.6 in particular ? The latest version of Python shipped in Debian Stretch is 3.5.3. 😞

[miigotu]

@DBMandrake because 3.6 introduces breaking changes again to strings that are not backwards compatible and we rely on libraries that use those features.
https://tecadmin.net/install-python-3-8-ubuntu/

Or better yet, update to a secure linux.
Debian 9 has been superseded by Debian 10 (buster). Security updates have been discontinued as of July 6th, 2020.

[saltypoison]

Ubuntu 16.04 Server Error. I've installed Python 3 following the link provided by @miigotu , and updated the systemctl script to reference Py3, but I am still getting this error.

I have tried all the solutions listed in both this thread and the other Python thread to no success.

[miigotu]

It has to be python3.6+

[saltypoison]

It has to be python3.6+

I have 3.8 installed currently.

EDIT: User error. I had a symlink pointing at an older version. Sorry to bother.

[sempisan]

I noticed I was some commits behind when launching today, so I hit update and everything broke! I'm on netgear readynas. I followed all instructions above, deleting the files, installing python 3.8, updating my service script. This is what I get when I just try and run it:

I probably did several things wrong, I have an apps/SickChill/SickChill folder with another complete glone of the repository - but that also doesn't run either and gives the same error.

[miigotu]

@sempisan You seem to have compiled python3.8 without openssl support.

@sempisan SC issue tracker really isnt the place to get help compiling another project.

[sempisan]

Good point. I was able to install Python 3.6.9 and have it work with just the error message about Cloudflare.
It runs fine as root, but when I run as admin, the user the service uses to run it I get
"Looks like we do not have enough disk space to render the page! {error}" when trying to access the site.
There is plenty of space on the drive.
/dev/md0 4.0G 2.9G 882M 77% /
/dev/md127 37T 22T 15T 61% /apps
I searched and saw it may be a permissions error on the cache folder, so I changed it recursively on the entire sickchill folder:
drwxrwxrwx 1 admin admin 36 Sep 12 00:54 cache
-rwxrwxrwx 1 admin admin 471040 Sep 12 09:33 cache.db
However I'm still getting that error and I can't seem to find where in the logs it says what is causing it, I see no ERRORS or WARNINGS in the log file. Sickchill is still running and searching for files, but the site doesn't work.

Thanks!

[miigotu]

You need to add the permissions to /apps/sickchill/sickchill/gui/slick/cache in your case.

[sempisan]

Thank you so much! I thought I had done everything, but turns out that folder was a symbolic link and so it didn't propagate!

@sempisan Hi, could you write up a step by step guide on what you did to make sickchill work with python3 on netgear readynas?

@sempisan Hi, could you write up a step by step guide on what you did to make sickchill work with python3 on netgear readynas?

Yes and no, there was way to many things to even remember, and lots of missed steps. What I can remember is:

1) backup SickChill settings
2) Install everything that will be needed:
apt-get install -y make build-essential libssl-dev zlib1g-dev libbz2-dev libreadline-dev libsqlite3-dev wget curl llvm libncurses5-dev libncursesw5-dev xz-utils tk-dev libffi-dev liblzma-dev libgdbm-dev libnss3-dev libssl-dev openssl
3) Install Python 3.6.9
cd /root
wget http://www.python.org/ftp/python/3.6.9/Python-3.6.9.tgz
tar zxf Python-3.6.9.tgz
cd Python-3.6.9
./configure --enable-loadable-sqlite-extensions --enable-optimizations
make
make altinstall
4) Update SickChill
5) Test new SickChill
/usr/local/bin/python3.6 /<YourSickChillLocation>/SickChill.py
6) Update your sickchill.service to use python3.6

@sempisan stealing for the wiki =P

Thought it would be best to ask for help in this issue rather than open a new one.

Do you have any idea bout what to do to get it updated?

[potequity]

I just realized I had the incorrect filename in the sickchill.service file, fixed it and now I'm able to start sickchill through systemd. Sorry for posting and wasting people's time :+1:

@kooolkat357
ReadyNAS does not have a git install, you need to update the code manually since you didn't let the updater break your install first =P

systemctl stop fvapp-sickchill
mkdir /data/sickchill-backup
cd /data/sickchill-backup
wget https://github.com/SickChill/SickChill/archive/master.zip
unzip master.zip

cd /apps/sickchill
mv app-config config.xml fvapp-sickchill.service logo.png /data/sickchill-backup/
mv server.key server.cert /data/sickchill-backup/ 2> /dev/null
mv gui/slick/cache /data/sickchill-backup/
find ./ -mindepth 1 -delete

cd /data/sickchill-backup
cp -R app-config app-config-backup
mv app-config config.xml fvapp-sickchill.service logo.png /apps/sickchill/
mv server.key server.cert /apps/sickchill/ 2> /dev/null
mv SickChill-master/* /apps/sickchill
mv cache /apps/sickchill/gui/slick/
rmdir SickChill-master
systemctl start fvapp-sickchill

This should update your source code

What should I do if I already let the updater break the code on READYNAS?

[miigotu]

Same thing, but you should also have a backup folder in there with a zip you can save and restore after

[kaparmar]

python3 /Applications/SickChill/SickChill.py

@miigotu thanks a lot, this solved my problem with the syntax issue. It launches and works great like this, but when directly opening the file SickChill.py it doesn't work.

A bit off-topic, but any idea how to launch this on startup? (using macos) I'm trying to use Automator, but not having any luck.

[miigotu]

/path/to/python3 /Applications/SickChill/SickChill.py it isnt any different than starting any other program with the correct binary

[kaparmar]

Unfortunately that doesn't quite help me. I don't understand what you mean.

python3 /Applications/SickChill/SickChill.py

Works in Terminal to launch SickChill, which is great. No issues there. But I just don't know how to launch it on startup. I used to just load the file on startup (not using a script, but using Apple's startup items). But now, the only way that I can launch SickChill through terminal, otherwise I get the syntax error.

I'm not great with writing even basic code, so I'm lost atm.

[miigotu]

I do not use mac, I cant develop the software and also help you with administering your own system. "startup items" and "login items" are incorrect. You should be using launchd since Tiger.

The plist should look something like:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE plist PUBLIC "-//Apple//DTD PLIST 1.0//EN" "http://www.apple.com/DTDs/PropertyList-1.0.dtd">

  <dict>
    <key>SickChill</key>
    <string>io.github.sickchill</string>

      <string>/path/to/sickchill/SickChill.py</string>
    </array>
    <key>KeepAlive</key>
    <true/>
  </dict>
</plist>

[kaparmar]

@miigotu I completely understand. I just struggle to fully understand the differences in systems and which approaches are relevant to each system.

Anyway, that was just the direction I needed, still took me a while to get it tweaked to work and run on startup.

Thanks a lot for the assistance and all your effort on such an amazing application.

[miigotu]

First result on Google 😉

Fix the permissions on your cache dir, they were set to root by the other package.

On my ubuntu 18.04 LTS system with the ubuntu python3.8, pip pulled in an older version of imdbpy, leading to this error:

check also the permissions of that two folders. Or just apply the right permissions recursively chown -R sc-sickchill:sickchill /volume1/@appstore/sickchill/var

[telsin]

Just discovered the pip version doesn't remake ..../python3.8/site-packages/sickchill/gui/slick/cache, a symlink pointing into your data dir, on launch. It only creates if it doesn't exist. So when I moved my datadir to do a little cleanup and consolidation into defaults, that link wound up pointing to a non-existent directory and I got the "Not enough disk space to render" error.

Removing the broken link and relaunching cleaned it up and got it working for me.

[edco100]

check also the permissions of that two folders. Or just apply the right permissions recursively chown -R sc-sickchill:sickchill /volume1/@appstore/sickchill/var

@Nyaran
Did that, didn't work, unfortunately. Still get the error when trying to update.

That's really weird... can you try a clean install?

1. Do a backup (Settings > Backup & Restore > Select destination path > Press backup button > Wait a few seconds while the backup is created)
2. Uninstall SickChill
3. Check that the directory "/volume1/@appstore/sickchill" does not exist. If exist, delete it "rm -rf /volume1/@appstore/sickchill (probably you will need to do it with sudo)
4. Reinstall the package: (Use the package from first post here: https://github.com/SynoCommunity/spksrc/pull/4161)
5. Restore your backup (Settings > Backup & Restore > Restore tab > Select your backup file > Press restore button > Wait a few seconds while the backup is restored)
6. Restart SickChill (System > Restart)

[miigotu]

With the update the day before yesterday, there is no longer a symlink for the cache, and there will not be any disk space error on the gui.
