Help

Hey guys! Couldn’t find an answer for this problem elsewhere.
When importing albums using beets, the current message pops up:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "C:\Users\Thiago\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\lib\site-packages\beets\util\__init__.py", line 496, in move
    os.replace(path, dest)

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

TypeError: can't concat str to bytes

I have this on my config file:

fetchart:
    sources:
        - filesystem
        - fanarttv
        - coverart: release
        - itunes
        - coverart: releasegroup

I’m on Windows 11. Is it a bug or is it something i can fix locally on my machine?
Thanks for your help in advance!

Hi I have the same issue.
The problem occurs only when the directory where the files are stored is not on the system disk.

Have you found a way to solve the issue ?

Thx

The latest release version of beets doesn’t have the fix for this issue in it: Improved fix for Unicode mistakes in atomic move by sampsyo · Pull Request #4209 · beetbox/beets · GitHub

You’d need to switch to the latest source version to use the fix.
