[Fixed in v4.2.2021.0203] ERROR: Not a valid floating point value

Post by ScoobyAS » Tue Feb 02, 2021 9:30 am

Just installed CCC v4.2 and MyMovies v5.4.

When I try to "Run Full Export Now" I receive the error message '5.4' is not a valid floating point value (?).

Is there maybe an incompatibility between CCC and MM's newest version?

Thanks for bringing this to my attention.

5.4 sure looks like a valid floating point value, so I'm not sure why that error is occurring. Perhaps there is a funky character in there.

I'm still running 5.31. I'll go ahead and upgrade to 5.4 to troubleshoot.

I just finished upgrading to My Movies v5.4.0.100, and it is working just fine with CCC v4.2.2021.0131:

Is the issue you're encountering repeatable, or was this a 1-time fluke?

I just did some research, and it looks like this error could occur if your PC is configured to use a comma as the decimal separator, instead of a period.

Here in the US, we use a comma to separate thousands, and a period to separate decimals, i.e: 1,000.00.

I've hard-coded (sorry) the String To Float conversion to use a period, so CMC is converting a string with a period, "5.4", to a real floating number. But if your PC is configured to use a comma for the decimal separator, it would need to be "5,4".

Can you confirm this is the issue?

I can make an adjustment in my code to fix this.

Yes, I can confirm. That should be the solution to the riddle.

Paul you should move his question to its own topic. It will be easier to see as my issue has been resolved.

I have just posted v4.2.2021.0203 which should fix this issue. Please test and let me know.

I will, after ScoobyAS reports back. I didn't want to confuse him with a disappearing topic.
