Invalid RPC request to display Playlists about mopidy-musicbox-webclient HOT 5 CLOSED

You need the development version of mopidy (version 0.12.0) that's in git, the readme should probably be updated. See mopidy/mopidy#313

from mopidy-musicbox-webclient.

Then I'll close this Issue, but indeed the documentation should be updated or a (temporary?) version detection should be introduced. I know this introduces legacy code , which isn't desired, but still many people install it from their apt repository.

Thanks for the report, kingosticks is right. I mentioned it in the readme under the Development section. Maybe that's not clear enough.
There is another option though if you want to use 0.11 with the recent version of the webclient. For this you have to change a file in Mopidy. It's the playlists.py file of core (in linux located in /usr/share/pyshared/mopidy/core or in OSX /Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/mopidy/core ). You have to change the function get_playlists to this:

def get_playlists(self, include_tracks=True):
   futures = [
       b.playlists.playlists for b in self.backends.with_playlists]
   results = pykka.get_all(futures)
   playlists = list(itertools.chain(*results))
   if not include_tracks:
       playlists = [p.copy(tracks=[]) for p in playlists]
   return playlists

I don't think the version of mopidy is currently exposed to the webservice. But if it was you could perhaps check (in this case) that your version was greater than v0.11.1-77-g2eb9ad7 and display a warning if not. You'd want to do this for all incompatible api changes so it might get out of hand... at least until version mopidy 1.0 and the api becomes stable.

Nice idea!
