solution in post #3

Hey. While i'm coding Addons for xbmc/kodi since ~2009 this error came up last days the first time. searching the net didnt gave me an appropiate answer.

(*) sometimes its been solved disabling firewall/proxy/av-software
(*) its often discussed in conjunction with newer win and android
(*) some links lead to a lib named bitmapfactory used by other tools/apps as well.
(*) affected systems dont show any picture from this url, functional systems show them all.. so its a yes/no problem - not a sometimes/maybe-thing.

* it seems, this lib cant use a jpg successfully, if its chunked
* is it a bug?
* do i fill the directory-item with wrong data?
* those picture-links are shown appropriate in the browser, on affected systems as well.

my addon (burningseries 1.4.6) is able to load these thumbs on some OS/Kodi-Versions (fi Helix14.2 on Win7), on other it throws this error(Win8.1), the item-picture stays empty.

part of a kodi.log

Can you somehow provide suche a broken image? (this image is no valid jpeg anymore when it hits kodi. It must be corrupted during transfer or so.

[ironic_monkey]

the server sends compressed data, the curl client does not use encoding value from the header for unknown reasons.

as a workaround you can append |encoding=gzip to the urls.

just to make it explicit. in my tests

Code:

kodi-send --action="ShowPicture(http://s.bs.to/img/cover/2094.jpg)"

will fail but

Code:

kodi-send --action="ShowPicture(http://s.bs.to/img/cover/2094.jpg|encoding=gzip)"

will work.

thanks a lot. indeed. is it worth to mark it as bug somewhere?
