The search function on my channel was working but it was having trouble with spaces in the search requests, so when I tried to httpEncode the query everything stopped working…now I don’t get any results from the database I’m querying…
I tried calling the php code from a computer with an encoded url and seems to work fine…unless roku encodes urls differently?
I’m using the urlUtils from the roku sdk examples. I don’t have access to the debug information because I don’t have a roku…so even if someone could tell me what that says would be helpful…it seems to require some sort of secret sauce…or maybe I’ve just been staring at this too long..
Here’s the source code.
