Failed Loading in Config File

[rtgurley]

Using Python 3.6
I run python main.py and this is the result that I get. I am not sure what other information you want.

C:\Program Files\Python36>python main.py
Failed loading in config file.

Pretty much the same problem for me except on macOS.

Looking into this as I'm unable to reproduce. I might have one of you run a test version of the code to get more information.

Let me know what I can do. Does it matter where I unzip the folder to and run the "pip install" and "main.py" commands from? Currently I am running them from C:\Program Files\Python36\plex-autocollections-master

The error is not actually "Failed loading in config file". That is a message that it spits out if you haven't hardcoded your URL and TOKEN, and the script instead needs your username and password.

The only times I see a "yard sale" of errors like shown here is if there are incompatible characters in the collections.yml file. Typically its from errant use of the colon (":")

Except for lines that specify a collection name - all lines that specify a movie name should not contain a colon. Replace any colons with a period. The parsing of the collections.yml file is not 100% regex compatible. Escaping the colon with a "" does not work. HTH
