Ticket: Reel won’t find any results

Status	Resolved
Add-on / Version	Reel 1.5.2
Severity
EE Version	6.0.2

I had/have Reel installed on a develop site called http://tom.dalizweb.nl this week I moved/copied my install to another server https://cma.talentopmaat.nl.
I had Reel working in http://tom.dalizweb.nl but it won’t work on https://cma.talentopmaat.nl.

So I created a new API key and credentials on Google with a new Google-account for this project, Google shows the Api enabled and green. But still Reel won’t find any video’s.

Video’s I added on the develop server are still on the new install.

Do you have an idea what’s wrong,

I can’t help with the Google app configuration side of things, but I do know it works. I would suggest clearing your cache directory in EE b/c the search results are cached to help stay under API limits.

I’m also curious if you’re getting any errors in the Reel UI?

Have you looked at the Network tab in your browser to see what the response is?

If you add &reel_debug=1 to your EE control panel URL, then reload the page, then open Reel to perform a search, it should show additional logging information that might help.

Hi Brian,

I did what you suggest but now result, I have made some screenshot for you of the Network Tab and the debug of Reel.

I can’t make much sense of these.. can you.

If it is only a Google error I will try to reproduce my settings from the develop server once more,

Thats a 500 server error. Make sure your debugging is turned up (https://boldminded.com/white-screen) and go to the URL directly in a new tab to see what it displays.

Do you mean this:

BoldMinded (Brian)

You’re going to have to open the file user/addons/reel/vendor/google/apiclient/src/Google/Http/REST.php and go to line 173, and just before line 173 add this:

var_dump($queryVars);

Then reload the page and send the same error output. This time there should be some additional debugging.

What version of PHP are you using?

BoldMinded (Brian)

Looks like PHP 8… are you able to try 7.4?

Yes, I was on PHP 8.0.

First tried 7.4 it works but really slow withe results. Pushed it back to 7.3 and then its really fast.

My develop server was also on PHP 7.3.

Didn’t add this var_dump($queryVars); because changing PHP version was easy at the host.

Thanks for thinking along, hope you get it upgraded and suited for php 8.0 in the nearby future.

BoldMinded (Brian)

The build I sent includes the latest Google API Client that supports 8.0, so it should work.

#12

BoldMinded (Brian)

I just switched my environment to 8 and seems to work fine with that build.

#13

Dave de Bruin

Cool, I will try that one to. tomorrow……
