Rails ActiveRecord update_attributes problems

I am trying to run the update_attributes for a particular object, but everytime I try to run my script, I get the following error: TypeError (can't convert String into Integer):

Here is the code I am working with

media = Media.find(params[:media_id])
media.update_attributes({:started_encode => false, :encode_success => false, :akamai => false})

Any idea why this keeps throwing that error?

Which are the names of the Media columns table?

You may have found this problem:

Basicaly, you cannot have a column named "HASH" in your table.

You are passing a string to a parameter that is expecting an integer, most likely in `params[:media_id]'. Try:

media = Media.find(params[:media_id].to_i)
