Sorry for taking so long on this, should be able to look into this and update the software tomorrow or the day after.

Whatever program you used to save the playlist file as UTF8 is adding a BOM (byte order marker) to the beginning of the file, specifically, the utf8 BOM " ". It needs to not be in the file. You can generally set a setting in your text editor to not include it. I'll see if I can't make an update soon to bypass this problem.

Awesome! Glad you got it working! Sorry I couldn't have been more help on fixing it. Busy busy.

Very interesting @ the proc architecture. I had never even thought about seeing what arch the files compiled as. Though x86 makes sense for the extended compatibility, which for a project like this, is appropriate. Will definitely keep it in mind for the future

Just to make sure... you do have the sqlite3.dll in the same directory as the PlexPlaylistImporter.exe, right?

Yeah, my next guess was going to be that it was choosing the wrong dll.

The article I linked says:
  • If a DLL with the same module name is already loaded in memory, the  system uses the loaded DLL, no matter which directory it is in. The  system does not search for the DLL.
  • If the  DLL is on the list of known DLLs for the version of Windows  on which the application is running, the system uses its copy of the  known DLL (and the known DLL's dependent DLLs, if any). The system does  not search for the DLL. For a list of known DLLs on the current system,  see the following registry key: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Session Manager\KnownDLLs.     
So it is most likely the first one. Is it possible for you to temporarily unload the program that is using it? You can also search for DLL usage handles by using Process Explorer. In the find menu there is a "Find Handle or DLL... (Ctrl+F)" option.
If you are unable to stop the other process, you can try manually replacing the .dll in its folder, but that is risky

From an internet search "This error is happening because of [your] build of SQLite does not include the FTS modules." So I'd guess that either your sqlite3 libs, or python sqlite3 libs need to be updated. I really need to get a windows executable compiled for it...

You might want to try using the provided executable instead. It is at the top of the project page under "Downloads: Binary".

[Edit] After rereading your message... are you already using the executable I provided?

@Pierre: Are you sure you are running Python3 and not Python2?

@ulle: I'm not exactly sure what you are trying to ask. Any user could potentially use the software as long as they meet 3 conditions:
  • They have python 3 installed (and any dependent libraries)
  • They have access to the playlist and the files inside the playlist
  • They have access to write to the plex database file

Posts / Re: Windows “ln” (symbolic linking) support for Cygwin
« on: April 26, 2016, 03:45:08 am »
Just found out that adding "winsymlinks:nativestrict" to your CYGWIN variable in bash makes all internal symlinks use actual windows NTFS symlinks. This is a MUCH better solution, as it will then support all commands that work with symlinks, including rsync.

Posts / Database list of countries and currencies
« on: February 14, 2016, 11:03:27 am »

I had the need for a project recently to have a database list of countries and currencies. I ended up pulling the currency list from wikipedia and the country list from the stage.gov website. You can download the SQL here, or copy from below. Do note there are NULLs in some of the places where data was unavailable.

Posts / Weird filename encoding issues on windows
« on: February 08, 2016, 12:52:16 am »

So somehow all of the file names in my Rammstein music directory, and some in my Daft Punk, had characters with diacritics replaced with an invalid character. I pasted one of such filenames into a hex editor to evaluate what the problem was. First, I should note that Windows encodes its filenames (and pretty much everything) in UTF16. Everything else in the world (mostly) has settled on UTF8, which is a much better encoding for many reasons. So during some file copy/conversion at some point in the directories’ lifetime, the file names had done a freakish (utf16*)(utf16->utf8) rename, or something to that extent. I had noticed that all I needed to do was to replace the first 2 bytes of the diacritic character with a different byte. Namely “EF 8x” to “Cx”, and the rest of the bytes for the character were fine. So if anyone ever needs it, here is the bash script.


LANG=;
IFS=$'\n'
for i in `find -type f | grep -P '\xEF[\x80-\x8F]'`; do
   FROM="$i";
   TO=$(echo "$i" | perl -pi -e 's/\xEF([\x80-\x8F])/pack("C", ord($1)+(0xC0-0x80))/e');
   echo Renaming "'$FROM'" to "'$TO'"
   mv "$FROM" "$TO"
done

I may need to expand the range beyond the x80-x8F range, but am unsure at this point. I only confirmed the range x82-x83.

While I’ve been encountering more bugs than I can count on both hands while working with XCode, this one takes the cake. Clang (the compiler) was throwing the following errors while it was trying to compile one of its objective C source files (.m extension).


clang: error: unable to execute command: Segmentation fault: 11
clang: error: clang frontend command failed due to signal (use -v to see invocation)
Apple LLVM version 7.0.2 (clang-700.1.81)
Target: arm-apple-darwin14.5.0
Thread model: posix
clang: note: diagnostic msg: PLEASE submit a bug report to http://developer.apple.com/bugreporter/ and include the crash backtrace, preprocessed source, and associated run script.
clang: error: unable to execute command: Segmentation fault: 11
clang: note: diagnostic msg: Error generating preprocessed source(s).

The fix... was to keep the specific source file open in an XCode window ~.~ . How the heck do you integrate the [CLI] compiler so much into the IDE that this could happen? Or is this simply a weird file system thing? I should note that my XCode project directory, with all files, is located on a VMware volume share.

Please note that this post is now obsolete. cPanel now has selective backup options for both users and on a global level.

Posts / Backing up just the user settings in cPanel
« on: January 31, 2016, 09:35:51 pm »

One of the companies I work for recently moved one of our cPanel servers to a new collocation, still running cPanel. We decided to use a new backup solution called r1soft, which so far has been working spectacularly. I’d love to use it for my personal computers, except the licenses, which are geared towards enterprise business, are way too costly.

However, since r1soft only backs up files (on the incrementally block level, yay) you can’t use it to restore a cPanel account. It can only restore things like the user’s home directory and SQL databases. Because of this, when we had need to restore an entire account today, and found out there is no easy/quick way to do it, we were up a creek. The obvious future solution for this would be to use cPanel’s backup (or legacy backup) systems, but unfortunately, you can’t easily set them to not backup the user’s databases and home directory, which can be very large, and are already taken care of by r1soft. I ended up adding the following script, ran nightly via cron, to back up user account settings.

It saves all the user settings under the backup path in their own directory, uncompressed, and named cpmove-USERNAME. It is best to do it this way so r1soft’s incremental backups don’t have much extra work if anything changes. Make sure to change line 3 in the following script to the path where you want backups to occur.

#!/bin/bash
#Create and move to backup directory
BACKUPDIR=/backup/userbackup
mkdir -p $BACKUPDIR #Make sure the directory exists
cd $BACKUPDIR

#Remove old backups
rm -rf cpmove-*

#Loop over accounts
for USER in `/usr/sbin/whmapi1 listaccts | grep -oP '(?<=user: )\w+$' | sort -u`; do
 #Backup the account
 /scripts/pkgacct --nocompress --skipbwdata --skiphomedir --skiplogs --skipmysql --skipmailman $USER ./

 #Extract from and remove the tar container file
 tar -xvf cpmove-$USER.tar
 rm -f cpmove-$USER.tar

 #Save MySQL user settings
 mysqldump --compact -fnt -w "User LIKE '$USER""_%'" mysql user db tables_priv columns_priv procs_priv proxies_priv \
 | perl -pe "s~('|NULL)\),\('~\1),\n('~ig" \
 > cpmove-$USER/mysql-users.sql
done;

This script skips a few backup items that need to be noted. Mailman, logs, homedir, and bandwidth data should all be easy 1:1 copy over restores from r1soft. I excluded them because those can take up a lot of room, which we want r1soft to handle. The same goes for MySQL, except that your MySQL users are not backed up to your account, which is why I added the final section.

Do note, for the final section, the line starting with “| perl” is optional. It is there to separate the insert rows into their own lines. A very minor warning though; it would also pick up cases where the last field in MySQL’s user table ends in “NULL),​(”. This would only happen if someone is trying to be malicious and knew about this script, and even then, it couldn’t harm anything.

Bonus note: To restore a MySQL database which does not use a shared-file (like InnoDB does by default), you could actually stop the MySQL server, copy over the binary database files, and start the server back up.
