some questions /problems with the 0.862 version of vc

[Wanilton]

Sorry, version with errors is 0.867 for me, version download from this post.

James, eu verifiquei novamente, não apresentou mais o erro mencionado, agora se esta ok para você,
o problema deve estar em meu computador, vou revisar tudo.

Happy new year..

please double and triple check your settings in VC and xbmc.  It works fine for me.  I don't know what I can do.

[jitterjames]

try this just to be sure.  the message saying "actively refused it" usually means xbmc is not running, or the port is wrong.  If you have the wrong password it will give a different error.

getting there.

try this.

You can set the time-out in XBMC options, but the default of 3000 ms should be enough I think.

The off mode should really be off now.

Hi James

Thank you for the fix... VC OFF is now working again like it's supposed to :-)

as for the songs problem... i still get 0 Songs INSTANTLY when i hit the generate song button in genxml for xbmc.... so it can't be a timeout issue, right ?

The songs feature within VC is not that much of an importance to me (no stress with that ;-) )... it might as well be, that some of my songs ID3Tags are corrupted!?

Cheers

It could be that something is corrupt, or just that there is a character in their that is messing up the xml format and xbmc is not correcting for it.  It could also be that VC is choking on a bad character but I don't think so.

A possible cause of problems would be a '>' or '<' character

try browsing to:  http://127.0.0.1:8080/xbmcCmds/xbmcHttp?command=querymusicdatabase(select idsong,strtitle from Song)
then view page source
then save as a text file and send it to me

note, it should look like this:

Hi James

You were right... i had a "<" in my output... and changed the id3 tag accordingly.... it's working fine now!

Thanks!!!

good to know.  I wonder if there is a way to detect this in code.  It may be that when I switch to JSON it won't be an issue...  I think this is one of the things that JSON is supposed to be good for.
