@_someone_, did you use nfo file to provide data for a video file in XBMC? If so, non-UTF8 characters causes JSON-RPC error.

Yes, I'm using nfo-files for all movies and TV shows. Is there a way for you to handle that?

The issue is that if even just one .nfo isn't correctly encoded in UTF-8, when the remote app receives the answer from XBMC the result isn't in UTF-8 and this breaks the JSON-RPC specifications causing errors during the parsing of the answer. It's something that the remote app can't control.

This issue was fixed some months ago with this commit so mine is just a suspicious. Can you help me to discover if the issue is the non UTF-8 .nfo file? You should import one by one the nfo files until you find if there is the offensive one that breaks the remote app movies list.

@CaptainKen, 1) I think it's normal: it's not possible to control volume in passthrough mode, your amp takes the control of the volume.
2) sure, on the XBMC server list, the right view has the "Quit XBMC Application" button.

@tudstudent, ok. To better clarify, when I talked about a clean user folder I was referring to the userdata folder, http://wiki.xbmc.org/index.php?title=Userdata

Hey thanks Joe, that's where all the buttons I've been looking for have been hiding!
