Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist-plex/issues/116

I've read the documentation.

I'm running the latest version of the TubeArchivist Plex Integration Scanner and Agent. I have read the latest release notes and installation instructions.

Operating System

Debian 13

Your Bug Report

Describe the bug

I noticed how metadata like thumbnail, title and upload date was not getting populated for one recently created channel (as in, on YouTube) in my archive in Plex. When I checked the logs on my Plex server, I found this:

2026-02-16 18:11:30,596 (7fff3bccfb08) : INFO (__init__:850) - [X] Posters: 20260216_/cache/channels/UCXbRURMKT3H_w8dT-DWLIxA_thumb.jpg
...
2026-02-16 18:53:48,698 (7fff5ac63b08) :  ERROR (__init__:231) - Error reading or accessing url 'http://myTAserver:8000None', Exception: 'nonnumeric port: '8000None''
InvalidURL: nonnumeric port: '8000None'

Notice how the path for the Posters starts with "20260216_" instead of a hard path. This causes my Plex server to attempt to contact 'hostnames' like "20260216_" as is evident on my DNS server. Furthermore something seems to be off with the way the TA server url gets concatenated if one value is None?
PS: The same thing happens on a fresh install of Debian 13 and Plex, this is not a cache issue.
Perhaps this gets fixed once https://github.com/tubearchivist/tubearchivist-plex/pull/115 is implemented.

Steps To Reproduce

Download and index etc at least 1 video from https://www.youtube.com/@fromis9_official/videos via TubeArchivist.
Let Plex scan for new content in your TubeArchivist library.
Notice how it does not populate thumbnail, title etc for these videos

Expected behavior

Videos from my TubeArchivist instance get populated with all their respective metadata.

Relevant log output

InvalidURL: nonnumeric port: '8000None'

Anything else?

Feel free to contact me for more output in my logs and such.
