Hi,

when I tried to perform a search (using exp1.2), I always ran into this python error:

Code:

ERROR: EXCEPTION Thrown (PythonToCppException) : -->Python callback/script returned the following error<--
                - NOTE: IGNORING THIS CAN LEAD TO MEMORY LEAKS!

Seems urlencode has some trouble with unicode. I'm not very familiar with python but after some googling I found the following workaround that fixed it for me:

Code:

+++ new/GoogleMusicNavigation.py    2014-12-29 19:12:47.513368708 +0100

         li = self.xbmcgui.ListItem(label=name, iconImage=album_art_url, thumbnailImage=album_art_url)
         li.addContextMenuItems(contextMenu, replaceItems=True)
+        str_params = {}

         return url, li, "true"

     def listPlaylistSongs(self, playlist_id):

edit: Unfortunately this workaround broke other things in artist / album lists etc. Assume I should leave the bug fixing to someone with better python skills, will be glad to assist with testing and providing logs though.
