As a heads-up recently my python addon stopped playback on some videos on this error

20:17:28 T:4728 ERROR: EXCEPTION: Failed to convert to input type to either a std:tring or a std::vector<(XBMCAddon::xbmcgui::InfoLabelStringOrTuple)>

and I narrowed it down to a None being passed as part of an Infolabel

{'Studio': None, 'Title': u'foobar'}

Setting Studio to '' fixes it so None types likely aren't allowed.

Thanks. This is due to a recent change I made to fix some other things. I'll fix this today.

Thanks jm for getting my attention.

[jfcarroll]

This has a fix in master now.

See this commit: https://github.com/xbmc/xbmc/commit/36f3...88569c572b

Let me know how it goes.

Thanks

Great, I got the nightly, put the code back to {'Studio': None, 'Title': u'foobar'} and it works.

Thanks a lot!

I just noticed though that it might be more than the None issue. I tried the YouTube pluging this morning and got a similar error to mine

Code:

I rolled back prior to the change and the YouTube plugin works.

The problem is now is InfoLabel don't like the python decimal type

Martin

Confirm this. If used str or unicode instead decimals all is fine.

[jfcarroll]

Does this include the commit above? That should have resolved it.

[fightnight]

Removed the rating infolabel and works. Decimal problem maybe.

But I can't get cast/castandrole listitem to work. I've tried many ways, list,dictionary.. 20131229

TypeError: Failed to convert to input type to either a std:tring or a std::vector<(XBMCAddon::xbmcgui::InfoLabelStringOrTuple)>

[jfcarroll]

I reproduced the problem with the YouTube plugin. Thanks, I'll fix it.

@fightnight, this now works for the Apple Movie Trailer plugin which calls setInfo using 'cast'. Can you post a test case that reproduces the problem? If so I'm sure I can fix it or at least let you know what the problem is.

Thanks
Jim

The commit works for my original None issue be no decimals in the YouTube plugin

Edit nevermind I see you can duplicate it.

Martin

[fightnight]

Just tested "Apple iTunes Trailers". It has cast but on plot.

Empty cast.

They made a 3rd one? :-)

YouTube's ability to take a number with a decimal point is fixed here:
