Mopidy on Debian Pogolug: startup fails with UnicodeDecodeError [SOLVED]

I just installed Mopidy on a Pogoplug with a fresh install of Debian. MPD playback works fine, but mopidy fails to start complaining:

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mopidy/config/__init__.py", line 101, in format_initial
    return description + '\n\n' + _format(config, {}, schemas, False, True)
UnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xc3 in position 1222: ordinal not in range(128)

mopidy deps and mopidy config both return the same error message.

The issue seems to be that we’re concatenating three strings, where at least a couple of them is unicode strings and one is an UTF-8 encoded bytestring (ref the 0xc3 byte, which is the first of two bytes of a single character encoded in UTF-8).

As there’s multiple strings being concatenated here, I’m not sure which one is a bytestring.

Can you modify /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mopidy/config/__init__.py and add a line before line 101 (with return description...) where it currently fails:

assert False, repr(dict(desc=description, formatted_config=_format(config, {}, schemas, False, True)), config=config, schemas=schemas))

If you now run e.g. mopidy deps again and share the output here, we should be able to debug and fix this properly.

I’m pretty sure I put the line in there properly, but it gave me a Syntax Error,

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mopidy/config/__init__.py", line 101
    assert False, repr(dict(desc=description, formatted_config=_format(config, {}, schemas, False, True)), config=config, schemas=schemas))
                                                                                                                                          ^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax

Another try:

assert False, repr(dict(desc=description, formatted_config=_format(config, {}, schemas, False, True), config=config, schemas=schemas))

I tried various ways of formatting it, but it always returns:

from mopidy import config as config_lib, exceptions
  File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/mopidy/config/__init__.py", line 102
    return description + '\n\n' + _format(config, {}, schemas, False, True)
    ^
IndentationError: unexpected indent

Just put it all on a single line.

I was editing it with notepad+, but I switched to nano and it produced this mighty block of text

Thanks, it’s running now. I’m going to start enabling extensions one by one and see what happens. I’ll count this issue as solved. Mopidy runs fine now and all of the extensions I tried work with the exception of gmusic.

Now, I got gmusic working too, by installing it with

pip install --upgrade git+https://github.com/hechtus/mopidy-gmusic.git@develop

it was missing some dependencies including backports.ssl-match-hostname.
Woo-hoo!!!

I have the same issue an could nit find a solution. Also it is not possible to “modipy local scan” and no local media is listed.

Can you please help me?

Thanks to your debug information I’ve tracked this down.

To reproduce the issue:

  • Install Mopidy-HTTP-Kuechenradio, which includes an non-ASCII UTF-8 character in its default config.
  • Don’t have any Mopidy config (remove ~/.config/mopidy/mopidy.conf)
  • Run any mopidy ... command

The issue is now fixed in the release/v0.19.x and develop branches, and will be included in the upcoming 0.19.5 and 0.20.0 releases.

Possible workarounds until new versions are out are either to:

  1. Run touch ~/.config/mopidy/mopidy.conf to create an empty config file to avoid the code path that crashes.

Or to:

  1. Uninstall Mopidy-HTTP-Kuechenradio.
  2. Run any mopidy command to generate the default config without the Kuechenradio section.
  3. Reinstall Mopidy-HTTP-Kuechenradio.

It should be said that this is not Mopidy-HTTP-Kuechenradio’s fault, but a bug in Mopidy core.

Mopidy 0.19.5 is out now, so the simplest workaround is just to upgrade :slight_smile:
