Strange problem with XML-RPC

[mqojdn]

I've uploaded these subs http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/subtitl ... ch-doll-en with that Oscar app.
The movie hash is 17b579c5d07e7d11.
And indeed the search finds them just fine: http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/ ... c5d07e7d11.
The built-in search in the Oscar app is also able to get them from the site with that hash.

However when I'm trying to get these working with PS3 Showtime, I'm getting an empty response. The request is correct and the subs are working for any other movies, except this one.
Here the request and an empty response: http://pastie.org/private/yeunumpdyk86js0qpg8wjg.
For any other movie I'm getting the subs correctly. And the request is exactly the same. For example: http://pastie.org/private/fcaqomqcud48dhcs1mk1a.

Any ideas?

Update:
Played a bit with http://www.opensubtitles.org/addons/xml-rpc/debugger/ and found that the search fails for <int>2340370335</int> but works if I change that to <double>2340370335</double>.
Should that be considered a bug? Cause 2340370335 is within the 32 bit integer length.

yes, it is strange. XML-RPC is handled by PHP library, and I get just wrong number. To be on the safe side (and I added that recently to trac), send everything as STRING.

http://trac.opensubtitles.org/projects/ ... iki/XMLRPC

Read Common Errors section
"always pass all Method Parameters as string, because some unwanted conversion can occur. For example moviebytesize pass as string "4249049694" and NOT as int 4249049694."

Posted an issue at the Showtime site https://www.lonelycoder.com/redmine/issues/1500, so hopefully they would fix that.
In the meantime, would it be possible to fix something on your side?

More problems with the XML-RPC requests.

If I check the site for subs by a movie hash:
http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/search/ ... 7eeb5b9d03

It finds the right file: http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/subtitles/4767299.

But if I try to get these through RPC (same movie hash):

Code: Select all

<name>moviehash</name> <value><string>20d3007eeb5b9d03</string></value> <name>moviebytesize</name> <value><string>418925397</string></value>

It returns that link: http://www.opensubtitles.org/en/subtitles/4764737
And those subs are actually disabled on the site...

Is it possible to get things working here?

Apparently it takes a day or so to get the XML-RPC server updated.
Everything is working at last. Apart from the INT issue.

I understand. I will try again check what I can do from my side.

EDIT: ok, please try to test it, I change in sent XML all integers to strings...should help. Also some clients (as for example XML-RPC extension for PHP) needs to create xml using strings, because unsigned to signed conversion is made.

Working fine! Thanks!

Good to know! Thanks.
