Issue with config file (new user)

[tonyp1983]

I'm trying to use this script for the first time and created a config file using --dump as per the instructions then updated it with my settings and preferences using nano. When I attempt to run the script, I get the following error:

Loading config file: /mnt/Share/Configs/plexcleaner/cleaner.conf Traceback (most recent call last): File "PlexCleaner.py", line 1063, in <module> options = json.loads(opt_string) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/json/__init__.py", line 339, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 364, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/json/decoder.py", line 380, in raw_decode obj, end = self.scan_once(s, idx) ValueError: Expecting property name: line 1 column 1535 (char 1534)

char 1534 of the .conf file appears to be ':' after "MoviePreferences".

I didn't;t even edit that line, though I did edit the first profile in the section below to be the name of the collection I want to keep permanently (creatively called 'Keep', i.e.

Profiles": { "Keep": { "action": "keep", }

Not sure why but I was able to get this to work accidentally by running the script with an incorrect config file name, which caused the script to create a default config file that worked as expected when I updated with my details/options (despite them being the same as I had input previously)

ya the json doesn't do a good job of helping you debug but you can't have a comma in a set with nothinig after it. So setting your profile to Profiles": { "Keep": { "action": "keep" } should have worked

Ah, that explains it. Didn’t even notice the comma, thanks for coming back to me, will keep an eye on that in future.
