Completed Exception with Kodi nightly

[pünktchen 1345]

With one of the latest Kodi nightly builds i always get an exception when i try to enter the Mediabrowser-addon via Video-addons:

ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--
       - NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!
       Error Type: <type 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError'>
       Error Contents: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)

       UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1: ordinal not in range(128)
       -->End of Python script error report<--

When this happens, it is not possible to enter the Mediabrowser-addon via Video-addons,

but i can still access the Mediabrowser libraries via the skinshortcuts of Titan skin.

 

Beside this, one time I've also seen another exception in my logs:

Mediabrowser-Server: 3.0.5490.2

Mediabrowser-addon: 0.9.788

Kodi: 15.0-ALPHA1 Git:20150210-4a5dd15

[im85288 1493]

The addon supports Helix and Gotham only, no support for Kodi 15 Alpha versions will be added until it at least hits Beta stage (in fact it's so new they have not even decided on a name yet!)

[pünktchen 1345]

Really too bad. As a former MediaPortal user, i really love the additive video seeking in Kodis nightlies.

[im85288 1493]

Yes really, if it supports Alpha releases that is a bonus but due to the nature of Alpha software and the fact it changes a lot putting effort into keeping up with it is not going to happen.

[xnappo 1605]

That said, are you sure you don't get this error with Helix? It looks like a normal old encoding issue.

Should i say "no" so you look at this

Seriously, in Helix it's fine.

[pünktchen 1345]

I should have said "it was fine in Helix"!

I've did some more testing and the problem also occurs in Kodi 14.0. It is a problem with the Beta addon. With stable addon all is fine in Helix AND the nightlies.

[xnappo 1605]

Okay, that is what I thought

 

Didn't think that error would have anything to do with Kodi. 

 

I'll take a look when I get a chance.  It should be a simple fix.

I think this is fixed in the Git version if you can test that, otherwise will push a new version when I get the sorting stuff sorted

Sorry to say that, but still the same error. It's the first exception i've posted.

From your changes on github, i think you've only fixed the second exception which seems to be the same as reported here:

[xnappo 1605]

Doh!

 

Try now..

 

Thanks,

0.9.801 is on the way to the beta repo.  Please check if this is resolved.

[pünktchen 1345]

Tested with github master. Still have an exception with slightly different error:

ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--

[xnappo 1605]

Yeash I hate this encoding stuff.  Can you try the Git again?

 

Thanks.

[pünktchen 1345]

Still the same error with title=Temp.encode('utf-8')

 

Is there anything more i can do to help?

[xnappo 1605]

@ @@im85288 usual tricks don't seem to be working.   Any ideas? 

[xnappo 1605]

Can you post your collection names here?  I think I need to be able to recreate this one.

In the evening...

I'm having the exactly same issue regarding utf-8 with the same log as posted here. I'm from brazil so my movies in boxsets all have their name in portuguese with the word "Coletânea" in the end. Like "007 - Coletânea" and so on.

 

Thanks,

 

Marcelo.

[xnappo 1605]

Yep.  I don't get what changed in this regard, but it should be an easy fix now that I can hopefully reproduce it.

[xnappo 1605]

Okay - this should be fixed in the Git now.

 

For educational purposes (or in case I forget) - the problem here was the new code added to have sub-sections like recently added for user collections.  In that code I was concatenating a Kodi language string  and the title from the JSON data.  The Kodi language strings are ASCII and the JSON data is UTF-8 - so it was trying to convert the UTF-8 to ASCII.  Encoding the Kodi language string to UTF-8 seems to have fixed the issue.

For me it's also working again. Really outstanding support here! Thank you!
