UnicodeDecodeError when receiving ONE specific UDP message

Post by skribb »

I have the Broadcaster plugin setup and I use it to receive UDP messages from my android tablet. All UDP messages are parsed by EG correctly, except one of them, that today suddenly stopped working.
It doesn't matter if i rename the UDP event/message, or move around the actions in that macro.

This is the error msg that appears when that specific UDP is being sent:

Code: Select all

09:05:15   error: uncaptured python exception, closing channel <eg.CorePluginModule.Broadcaster.Server connected 192.168.0.104:33333 at 0x4803c10> (<type 'exceptions.UnicodeDecodeError'>:'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 25: ordinal not in range(128) [asyncore.pyc|read|76] [asyncore.pyc|handle_read_event|416] [C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\plugins\Broadcaster\__init__.py|handle_read|95] [C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\eg\Classes\PluginBase.py|TriggerEvent|133] [C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\eg\Classes\EventThread.py|TriggerEvent|78] [C:\Program Files (x86)\EventGhost\eg\Classes\EventGhostEvent.py|__init__|84])
I updated to the latest EG version but to no avail.

I am fascinated why it's just this message that isn't working... and why it has worked for a year prior to today. :cry: :lol:
