Image decoding problem

[Paul Webster]

Can someone with a recent LMS 8.3 try the URL below (replace lmsip with your LMS IP address and remove the spaces) to see if this image loads?
It fails on my LMS 8.2.1 but I won't try to work out why if it works on 8.3

http: / / lmsip :9000/imageproxy/https%3A%2F%2Flastfm.freetls.fastly.net%2Fi%2Fu%2F _%2Fae981d1739c22d2b0caaff89a0f35ee7.jpg/image_50x50_o

My guess is that one of the underlying graphics packages does not like it - but LMS 8.3 may well have updated versions and not have a problem.

Edit:
It should show a small album cover. If it shows the LMS radio mast then there is a problem.

LMS radio mast.

Odd thing ... I turned on debug for imageproxy ... and tried the same URL again and it worked.

Just had one ... LMS says there was a 404 (not found) error - but I checked the same external URL a few seconds later and it returned the image as expected.

Next step, I assume, is to turn on LMS HTTP tracing but that will be a lot noisier.

If I use the URL as you give it (but with my server name and no spaces) I get the radio mast image.

However, if I replace the hexadecimal encodings in the URL you gave with the actual chars — ie,

http://myservername:9000/imageproxy/https://lastfm.freetls.fastly.net/i/u/_/ae981d1739c22d2b0caaff89a0f35ee7.jpg/image_50x50_o

— I get the album cover.

So it would seem something somewhere isn't handling the hexadecimal encoded chars.

[Paul Webster]

I don't think the problem is with the percent-encoding.
LMS happily converts it back to the original when it reaches out to the remote site to get the data - at least that is what the logs show and also the fact that the images usually work shows that it encoded correctly.

I get the album cover. Vivaldi browser on Linux Mint. Last Tuesday's build of 8.3 on Raspberry Pi OS.

Ah well, it was just a thought.

Hope you can sort out the issue.

I get a small blurry album cover using opera mini and LMS 8.3 latest.

It is small and blurry because it is the 50x50 image that is used in "What was that tune?".
If you remove the stuff from the end of the URL you should get the full image.

However, it works here most (> 90%) of the time.

I'll do some more digging during next week.
