Description Weldon Matt 2009-09-23 15:56:12 UTC
Thought this was fab4-specific, then tried on baby and got the exact same result.

Navigated to Rhapsody, searched for and found Weird Al Yankovic's "Amish Paradise" (an underrated masterpiece btw), clicked "share on facebook" in the context menu, and selected the first menu option (share the song title + artist).

ON both devices, submitting the "facebook story" took me to a buggy-looking next screen.  And the facebook wall posting showed up without any of the song info (see attachment).

This is a new bug I think (a P1 at that), FB posts were still working fine a couple days ago.

Just tried it again and it worked.  (Submitted a song from Pandora).
Comment 3 Weldon Matt 2009-09-23 16:03:04 UTC
Tried a third time, again on Rhapsody, and it worked again.

Thinking out loud: Should we have a strategy for handling facebook failures better (i.e. don't post when the submitted string is empty)?

In any case, this bug has occurred multiple times today, FYI...

Was there anything different about the song you tried to post that failed? 
What service was it from, or was it a local track?

Fixed bug 14236, use JSON::XS for constructing post JSON, also return an error if the post is empty.  I couldn't reproduce this but this may help...
