I have been using your wrapper but ran into a problem when trying to fetch my whole Movie DB.

I might be wrong but it looks like you are trying to decode a non utf-8 string which fails as soon as you have some weird foreign movies in your DB.

Changin this function to utf8_encode the string solved my problem:

PHP Code:

private function decodeResponse($json) {
        return json_decode(utf8_encode($json), true);
} 

I checked the php.ini is running with a default_charset of utf-8 so I am not exactly sure if the problem is due to me having something configured the wrong way.

Anyways good job with the wrapper and maybe this is usefull info, if I did something wrong please let me know Smile

Some small changes. xbmc.php, line 295. I was getting a warning that index 0 didn't exist, so I changed it to this:

Code:

    public function __call($method, $args = null) {

        if (array_key_exists(0,$args))

            return $this->_xbmcJson->rpc($this->_name.".".$method, $args[0]);

        return $this->_xbmcJson->rpc($this->_name.".".$method);

    }

Also, in the example wall, I changed the code to this, that way I could track down what movies I needed images for, plus I didn't have a broken img tag:

Code:

//Display the "movie-wall"

foreach($movies as $movie) {

    if (array_key_exists('thumbnail',$movie))

    $moviesHTML .= "<img src=\"http://".$xbmcHost->url()."/".$xbmcJson->Files->Download($movie['thumbnail'])->path."\" width=\"104\" height=\"156\" title=\"".$movie['title']."\">";

}

$moviesHTML .= "<br><br><h3>Movies Without Thumbs</h3>";

foreach($movies as $movie) {

    if (!array_key_exists('thumbnail',$movie))

    $moviesHTML .= "<br>".$movie['title'];

}

$moviesHTML .= "<br><br><h3>Movies Without Fanart</h3>";

foreach($movies as $movie) {

    if (!array_key_exists('fanart',$movie))

    $moviesHTML .= "<br>".$movie['title'];

}

Ghostface, thanks for the bug report I will look into this today.

darkscout, that isn't my code! Rofl

I think you may have the wrong thread Smile

darkscout · 2011-02-11 07:19

You are correct Sir. No clue where I got this PHP library from Smile

@Ghostface

I was unable to reproduce your issue. I added some movies to the database with accented European characters. XBMC always returned UTF-8 encoded responses.

Can you give me some more details about your OS and an example of a movie title which is causing a problem. Could you also please let me know what issue you are having specifically (ie any PHP errors).

I have added some code which will attempt to convert non-UTF-8 encoded string into UTF-8 which may or may not solve your issue, but as I say it's hard for me to confirm as I can't reproduce the issue.

Nevermind, actually adding utf8_encode messes up regular german chars.

I nailed the problem down to one particular Movie that had strange characters in the filename (so strange they only show up as Confused

in my terminal)

after utf8_encoding that filename they resulted in:

Quote:ÔÂÇò

The error message btw was:

Quote:Invalid JSON RPC response

I simply renamed that file and all should be good now.

Thanks for checking tho!
