Unreliable results on search

[eduo]

I'm not sure what's going on. I thought this was a problem on my client but then realised the server is introducing it.

Sometimes I get no results for moviehashes, even if for the same movie I can find by moviehash if searching differently.

1.-If I try this I get no results:

Query:

<?xml version="1.0" ?>
<methodCall>
<methodName>SearchSubtitles</methodName>
<params>
<param><value><string>091e3e81lsp6oa640jf3reaus3</string></value></param>
<param>
<value><array><data><value><struct>
<member>
<name>sublanguageid</name>
<value><string>spa</string></value>
</member>
<member>
<name>moviehash</name>
<value><string>eb3e44421be7d0c1</string></value>
</member>
<member>
<name>moviebytesize</name>
<value><double>1360763578.</double></value>
</member>
</struct></value></data>
</array>
</value></param></params></methodCall>

Response:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<methodResponse>
<params>
<param><value><struct><member><name>status</name>
<value><string>200 OK</string></value>
</member>
<member><name>data</name><value><boolean>0</boolean></value></member>
<member>
<name>seconds</name>
<value>
<double>0.008</double>
</value>
</member>
</struct>
</value>
</param>
</params>
</methodResponse>

2.-If I try including the same movie along with a different one, I get results. I'm not getting an error back, just empty results.

It's very strange.

it seems xml data what are you sending is not correct. Why you are using dot in the end of filesize?

Code: Select all

<value><double>1360763578.</double></value>

I tried without dot and it works OK, I get 7 results back.

Funny. It sems to be an artifact of my XML routines. I'll investigate.

The weird part is that most of the time it works. It seems to not work in only few scenarios. So much so that I've found it first now, after more than a year of using this routine. Most of the time it works but in some specific scenarios it seems to fail. All my filesizes have come come with a period for more than a year now. If there're more files in the query it gets results. If there's only one it fails sometimes but when it does it's always for the same file.

Example: This request has a dot:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><methodCall><methodName>SearchSubtitles</methodName><params><param><value><string>c11nflvjn47u4k0ana4nng25i0</string></value></param><param><value><array><data><value><struct><member><name>sublanguageid</name><value><string>eng</string></value></member><member><name>moviehash</name><value><string>eb3e44421be7d0c1</string></value></member> <member><name>moviebytesize</name> <value><double>1360763578.</double></value></member> </struct></value></data></array></value></param></params></methodCall>

But I get proper results.

I found some small error in my code, try now and let me know, if it helps.

I also corrected my code to always remove the trailing decimal point (although it was acceptable in the XMLRPC definition of "double" it looked silly, so I removed it). I'll try with an older version and let you know.

looking forward for some info, if it works ok
