Bug Reports / Re: JRiver error: "The operation has timed out"

« on: April 22, 2020, 08:31:54 AM »

Hi, jitterjames!

Based on your log I think you might have installed VC in a protected folder which is not recommended.

The software is installed in the %AppData% directory, which is a directory for programs to manage their own files in. I haven't had any issues with file system permissions (ex. writing voicecommands.xml). This is the best official explanation I could find from Microsoft about this directory:

Good news: I'm not sure I have an explanation, but the bug is fixed in the 2020-04-21 version of JRiver.dll! I even tried reverting to the 2020-04-19 version and back again twice to be doubly-sure. Below are the logs (this time I used the "Get detailed info" command) for both versions.

Bug Reports / JRiver error: "The operation has timed out"

« on: April 20, 2020, 10:54:40 PM »

Hello again,

I'm having an interesting bug with network connectivity to the JRiver server. Thanks in advance for your help, jitterjames!

Steps to reproduce

1. Open or restart VoxCommando
2. Perform any action that performs a network request to JRiver
3. Wait at least 90 seconds
4. Repeat #2 and observe that this error occurs: JRiver error: System.Net.WebException: The operation has timed out

Other observations

• The behavior is consistent: the first network request always works, network requests after 90 seconds of inactivity always time out
• While the error is happening in VoxCommando, requesting the same JRiver URL in the browser works OK
• If I swap Scraper.Simple for JRiver.Raw (and request precisely the same URL), the bug does not happen

Logs

Here is an example where I click "Stop playback", wait 90 seconds, then click "Stop playback" again.

Bug Reports / JRiver authentication failure

« on: April 18, 2020, 03:24:51 PM »

Hello,

I'm a new user and having a problem authenticating with JRiver Media Center 26 (the latest version).

The username and password (and the connection test) work OK. The problem is how the JRiver token is handed internally by the Vox Commando plugin.

Observe that the token value returned by JRiver is 8 characters long:

GET http://htpc:52199/MCWS/v1/Authenticate

<Response Status="OK">
<Item Name="Token">gN8Qq6iX</Item>
<Item Name="ReadOnly">0</Item>
<Item Name="PreLicensed">0</Item>
</Response>


From the JRiver logs, however, the Token value given by Vox Commando is 10 characters long, padded out with 2 extra zero characters: 00.

0007922: 14052: Sharing Plugins: CHTTPListenerWorker::HandleRequest: TCP: 127.0.0.1: GET: http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Authenticate
0007922: 14052: Sharing Plugins: JRWebService::Process: Start
0007922: 14052: Sharing Plugins: JRWebService::Process: URL: /MCWS/v1/Authenticate
0007922: 14052: Sharing Plugins: JRWebService::Process: Finish (0 ms)
0007922: 14052: Sharing Plugins: VHTTPMessage::Write: Wrote 198 bytes
0007922: 14052: Sharing Plugins: CHTTPListenerWorker::HandleRequest: TCP: 127.0.0.1: GET: http://localhost:52199/MCWS/v1/Playlists/List?Token=gN8Qq6iX00
0007922: 14052: Sharing Plugins: VHTTPMessage::Write: Wrote 0 bytes
0007922: 14052: Sharing Plugins: CHTTPListenerWorker::HandleConnection: Finish (0 ms)


This fails with a 401 Unauthorized so no XML data can be transferred.

I tried digging around in the plugin's configuration but I think the bug is hard-coded in a binary. Thanks for your help!
