Sample Code under "usage" does not work

[Knutowskie]

So i started to fiddle around with python and openrgb.

Tried your sample code and get the following error:

PS C:\Users\Knuto> & C:/Users/Knuto/AppData/Local/Programs/Python/Python313/python.exe c:/Users/Knuto/Documents/python_scripts/OpenRGB_Test.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "c:\Users\Knuto\Documents\python_scripts\OpenRGB_Test.py", line 4, in <module> client = OpenRGBClient('127.0.0.1', 6742, 'pyclient') File "C:\Users\Knuto\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\Lib\site-packages\openrgb\orgb.py", line 388, in __init__ self.update() ~~~~~~~~~~~^^ File "C:\Users\Knuto\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\Lib\site-packages\openrgb\orgb.py", line 580, in update self.update_profiles() ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^ File "C:\Users\Knuto\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\Lib\site-packages\openrgb\orgb.py", line 588, in update_profiles self.comms.requestProfileList() ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^ File "C:\Users\Knuto\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\Lib\site-packages\openrgb\network.py", line 221, in requestProfileList self.read() ~~~~~~~~~^^ File "C:\Users\Knuto\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\Lib\site-packages\openrgb\network.py", line 169, in read self.callback(device_id, packet_type, utils.parse_list(utils.Profile, idata, self._protocol_version)) ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\Knuto\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\Lib\site-packages\openrgb\utils.py", line 148, in parse_list things.append(kind.unpack(data, version, x)) # type: ignore ~~~~~~~~~~~^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ File "C:\Users\Knuto\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\Lib\site-packages\openrgb\utils.py", line 681, in unpack s = parse_string(data) File "C:\Users\Knuto\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python313\Lib\site-packages\openrgb\utils.py", line 123, in parse_string return parse_var(f'{length}s', data).decode().rstrip('\x00') ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^^ UnicodeDecodeError: 'utf-8' codec can't decode byte 0xfc in position 2: invalid start byte

How can i avoid this? Running OpenRGB latest.

So he is yelling about this:

def parse_string(data: Iterator[int]) -> str:
'''
Parses a string based on a size.
:param data: the raw data to parse
:returns: A parsed string
'''
length = parse_var('H', data)
return parse_var(f'{length}s', data).decode().rstrip('\x00')

After some more testing and setting up Ubuntu in WSL there it is the very same error.

I needed to change the line

client = OpenRGBClient('192.168.0.22', 6742, 'python-client')

but still no luck.

Can you test with v0.3.2 and if there is still a problem post the error message?
