HTTP API: "PlayFile()" works, but returns error? - magn2o - 2009-08-12

If I issue the following HTTP API command:

Code:
GET /xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=PlayFile(%2Fusers%2Fmagnus%2Fpublic%2Fmovies%2Fred%20dawn%20%281984%29%2Fvideo_ts%2Fvideo_ts.ifo) HTTP/1.1

I get the following return:

Code:
HTTP/1.0 200 OK

Server: GoAhead-Webs

Pragma: no-cache

Cache-control: no-cache

Content-Type: text/html

<html>

<li>Error:Could not play file</html>

Yet, it plays the file fine. Normally I wouldn't care, but aside from curiosity getting the best of me, my program currently parses the return string looking for an "OK" in order to continue logic processing.

Am I doing something wrong here?

no. from the code it looks like it might be some timing issues. needs to be investigated with a debugger
