Help with last genre plugin: throwing me an error every time

[fabiendostie]

I am using my own genre tree and database
and it just stopped working, I havent changed anything in my config of python... that i know or remember of.

here is the last genre section of my config.yaml

# Last.fm #########################################################################################

lastimport:
  per_page: 500              # The number of tracks to request from the API at once. Default: 500.
  retry_limit: 3             # How many times should we re-send requests to Last.fm on failure? Default: 3.
lastfm:
  user: REDACTED
  api_key: REDACTED
types:
  play_count: int
  rating: float

lastgenre:
                             # Fetches tags from Last.fm and assigns them as genres to your albums and items.
  auto: yes                  # Fetch genres automatically during import. Default: yes.
                             # Use a canonicalization tree. Setting this to yes will use a built-in tree.
  canonical: ~/.config/beets/genres/genres-tree.yaml 
                             # The filename of a custom genre list, yes to use the internal whitelist, or no to consider all genres valid.
                             # Default: yes.
  whitelist: ~/.config/beets/genres/genres.txt
                             
                             
  count: 2                   # Number of genres to fetch. Default: 1
  fallback: 'No_Genre'       # A string if to use a fallback genre when no genre is found.
                             # You can use the empty string '' to reset the genre.
                             # Default: None.
  separator: ', '
  force: yes                 # By default, beets will always fetch new genres, even if the files already have one.
                             # To instead leave genres in place in when they pass the #whitelist: ~/.config/beets/genres.txt,
                             # set the force option to no.
  min_weight: 10             # Minimum popularity factor below which genres are discarded. Default: 10.
  prefer_specific: no        # Sort genres by the most to least specific, rather than most to least popular. Default: no.
  source: album              # Which entity to look up in Last.fm. Can be either artist, album or track. Default: album. 
  title_case: yes            # Convert the new tags to TitleCase before saving. Default: yes.

and here's my terminal output from a basic beet lastgenre command:

➜ music

anyone has a clue what I have to do to fix this?
I actually marked out all the "non-essential" plugins and configs from my config.yaml to just keep the minimum + last genre... but I still get the error.

Getting really frustrated with this!

It looks like something strange has happened to your database that has resulted in a zero-track album, which should never be the case in normal operation. You probably want to clean up that errant database entry. With the caveat that I haven't checked these commands before recommending them, you could do something like beet ls -a id:1 to see what album it is and then beet rm -a id:1 to remove it.
