nfo not working

[MickHere]

Hi
I have installed simply-nzedb successfully in a vmware image and a intel nuc running Ubuntu server 16.04.1 LTS.
My first problem was the mediainfo path " /usr/local/bin/mediainfo"
for some reason mediainfo was not in that path, I had to install a fresh version then copy mediainfo to that path for it to work.

Second problem I have is that I cant get the nfo to work. When the view nfo button is pressed I get a blank nfo popup.

I have tested a couple of my usenet service providers to see if they where blocking nfo previews and they work in a newznab vmware I have.

Cheers

I can confirm the NFO issue. Regarding mediainfo, what do you mean when you say "I had to install a fresh version"?

Hi
mediainfo did not work, so I reinstalled it and copied the mediainfo to the /usr/local/bin/ path.

For mediainfo, give this a try and paste the output:

$ bin/stop_nzedb
$ docker rmi slydetector/simply-nzedb
$ docker pull slydetector/simply-nzedb
$ docker run -it --rm slydetector/simply-nzedb ls -l /usr/local/bin

Well, that proves it is there after forcing a download of the docker image. It is possible an older version of the image may have been flawed, but don't have any other ideas.

Thanks
Its no problem, mediainfo is working atm :)

Ok, tracked down why NFOs are not working. Apparently, iconv under php on alpine is broken: https://forum.alpinelinux.org/forum/installation/php-iconv-issue

So this call https://github.com/nZEDb/nZEDb/blob/d63e1da8967a5cef4fcac8be76db214ffc88fba8/www/pages/nfo.php#L20 returns an empty string instead of the NFO with retro block chars.

May be able to use the LD_PRELOAD workaround here - docker-library/php#240

Fixed in latest build.
