Spot selected clips to original timecode not quite running

Title

Spot selected clips to original timecode not quite running

What do you expect to happen when you run the script/macro?

It's supposed to spot all of the selected clips to their original timecodes

Are you seeing an error?

It's throwing an error at lines 11, 34, and 37, and not completing the job

What happens when you run this script?

It works sometimes! I've been trying to replicate when it doesn't and it seems inconsistent. I'm sorry that's not more helpful - but try throwing a few clips onto the timeline and then running it. Sometimes they all spot to the correct original locations, sometimes it throws errors.

How were you running this script?

I used a keyboard shortcut within the target app

How important is this issue to you?
