unserialization problem with GrlMediaBox & url
Last modified: 2016-02-08 12:32:34 UTC
I have a problem with serialize & unserialize regarding GrlMediaBox I have a situation where I store GrlMedia subclasses like Box, Audio, or Video as serialized strings. All may have also an url attached. When I unserialize the stored information, I do not get the url back for type GrlMediaBox. For Audio and Video it works. As far I understod the code in grl-media.c it finds the url key and value (line 563 and after) . But then it seems not to be appended to the GrlMediaBox box instance. This is the serialization string: grlbox://grl-dvb/sid%3A2?title=arte&description=ARD%0AService%20ID%3A%202%0AFrequency%3A%20690000%20kHz%0ABandwidth%3A%208k&url=dvbt%3A%2F%2F%20frequency%3D690000000%20bandwidth%3D8k%20program%3D2%20pcr_pid%3D0x1121%20audio_pids%3D0x1123%3A0x1122%20video_pids%3D0x1121%20ttx_pids%3D0x1124%20other_pids%3D0x87c%3A0x1d6 Juan A. Suarez Romero comment on this: Seems there's a bug with the unserialization. Could you file a bug, and add the serialized string as example? Meanwhile, I've found this workaround works for this case. If media is the unserialized GrlMedia, this returns the URL value gchar *url = grl_related_keys_get_string(grl_data_get_related_keys(GRL_DATA(media), GRL_METADATA_KEY_URL, 1), GRL_METADATA_KEY_URL);
