Request Timeout in cast.Api.loadMedia() - google-cast

I've got my Chromecasts whitelisted and was doing some sender and receiver app development.
Ran into this strange problem of a callback returning "Request timeout" after a second or two when after a few more seconds, the media started playing on the Chromecast device.
castApi.loadMedia(currentActivityId, loadRequest, launchCallback);
The status launchCallback returned was:
cast.MediaResult {
activityId: "ao4hr3w1a1gw",
status: null,
success: false,
errorString: "Request timeout"
}
This happens sporadically, depending on how fast the video load on the Chromecast device. But the timeout (probably 1 to 2 seconds) happens so quickly that it returns a failure about half the time. Am I doing something wrong here?

When it successfully runs your media (after initial timeout error message), do you get an updated successful message via your callback?

Dialog flow Web hook time out

I am creating agent using dialogflow with webhook. Facing problem in webhook timeout:
webhook_status { code: 4 message: "Webhook call failed. Error: Request
timeout." }
kindly help me to increase webhook timeout time.
There is no way you can increase Time Out for webhook. Your webhook should respond back within 5 seconds (see Limits here)

"500 Backend Error" using Gmail API - safe to retry?

I'm sending messages via the Gmail API. In particular, I am trying to send 5-7 emails from the same account to different users (1 each) within about 2 seconds.
About 8% of those emails are failing with this error:
&googleapi.Error{
Code:500,
Message:"Backend Error", Body:`{
"error": {
"errors": [
{
"domain": "global",
"reason": "backendError",
"message": "Backend Error"
}
],
"code": 500,
"message": "Backend Error"
}
}`,
Header:http.Header(nil),
Errors:[]googleapi.ErrorItem{
googleapi.ErrorItem{Reason:"backendError", Message:"Backend Error"}
}
}
It doesn't seem like it's specific to a particular account, as 6/7 emails may succeed.
I'm hesitant to retry this for fear of sending 2 emails to the same person.
Is there any way to tell whether this message is safe to retry?
"code": 500, "message": "Backend Error"
Is basically an issue with Google server. Either the request you are making took to long or the server preforming the request is busy and the request again took to long. It doesn't sound like what you are doing should be causing the problem.
Tips when not to run: Don't run on the hour you will be completing with everyone who has cron jobs set up also don't run at midnight (PDT) as this is when quotas reset and again you will be completing with everyone who blew out yesterdays quota.
Solution:
The normal solution is to wait a few seconds then send the same request again. (Implementing Exponential Backoff)
The flow for implementing simple exponential backoff is as follows.
Make a request to the API
Receive an error response that has a retry-able error code
Wait 1s + random_number_milliseconds seconds
Retry request
Receive an error response that has a retry-able error code
Wait 2s + random_number_milliseconds seconds
Retry request
Receive an error response that has a retry-able error code
Wait 4s + random_number_milliseconds seconds
Retry request
Receive an error response that has a retry-able error code
Wait 8s + random_number_milliseconds seconds
Retry request
Receive an error response that has a retry-able error code
Wait 16s + random_number_milliseconds seconds
Retry request
If you still get an error, stop and log the error.
Sometimes it can happen before send and sometimes after send.
I logged the "To" and "From" from five different email attempts that all received a 500 Backend Error. None of these attempts made it to the "Sent" folder of my inbox. I conclude that they were never sent, and it's safe to retry these messages. However, other people in the comments (see below) indicated that the messages actually made it to the remote mailbox, and it's not safe to retry.

Xamarin.Android & Azure Push Notifications Internal Server Error

I'm following the guide at https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/app-service-mobile/app-service-mobile-xamarin-android-get-started-push (as well as the original Xamarin one that this appears to have cribbed from), but I'm running into a problem registering my client.
I am successfully logging a user in prior to setting up the push notification service.
Both GcmClient.CheckDevice(...) and GcmClient.CheckManifest(...) succeed, and my PushHandlerService is being called.
Push.RegisterAsync(...) in my PushHandlerService is throwing a MobileServiceInvalidOperationException because it received an HTTP 500 Internal Server Error from the service.
Looking at FREB logs, it appears that the "error" is actually supposed to be a success, and interestingly is somehow related to the EasyAuthModule:
NOTIFY_MODULE_COMPLETION ModuleName="EasyAuthModule_64bit", Notification="AUTHENTICATE_REQUEST", fIsPostNotificationEvent="true", CompletionBytes="297", ErrorCode="The operation completed successfully.
(0x0)" 05:51:01.092
Module_set_response_error_status
Warning ModuleName="EasyAuthModule_64bit", Notification="AUTHENTICATE_REQUEST", HttpStatus="500", HttpReason="Internal Server Error", HttpSubStatus="79", ErrorCode="Unspecified error
(0x80004005)", ConfigExceptionInfo="" 05:51:01.092
NOTIFY_MODULE_COMPLETION ModuleName="EasyAuthModule_64bit", Notification="AUTHENTICATE_REQUEST", fIsPostNotificationEvent="true", CompletionBytes="0", ErrorCode="The operation completed successfully.
(0x0)" 05:51:01.092
I take it the error is happening when you call client.GetPush().RegisterAsync()? This is currently an issue and we are deploying a fix on the Azure side to fix this. In the interim, you can see the fix for this here: https://adrianhall.github.io/develop-mobile-apps-with-csharp-and-azure/chapter5/android/

Azure Service Bus Request Time Out Issue

I am getting the time out error, when I called Azure Service Bus with the below code.
So I have applied retry logic, however still I am getting the time out error.
var msgFactory = MessagingFactory.CreateFromConnectionString(connection);
var namespaceManager = NamespaceManager.CreateFromConnectionString(connection);
if (!await namespaceManager.QueueExistsAsync(queueName)) //Time out Error
{///Code}
The request has timed out after 60000 milliseconds. The successful completion of the request cannot be determined. Additional queries should be made to determine whether or not the operation has succeeded. TrackingId:143b4d25-e97c-4270-8714-93a4c6818fea,TimeStamp:1/19/2016 8:30:36 PM
Maybe just because a pair of parentheses missing in:
if (!await namespaceManager.QueueExistsAsync(queueName))
which should be:
if (!(await namespaceManager.QueueExistsAsync(QueueName)))
We need to run the pregame outside of the company firewall, then it will work.

HLS local http server on iOS8 doesn't work

I'm creating a local http server to provide http live streaming to a AVPlayer. It works fine on iOS 7, but failed in iOS 8 beta. Player never send request to my local server, its playerItem's status always become AVPlayerStatusFailed right after I call player's 'play' method.
The error I received is as following:
Error Domain=AVFoundationErrorDomain Code=-11800 "The operation could not be completed" UserInfo=0x179c675c0 {NSUnderlyingError=0x17a252c60 "The operation couldn’t be completed. (OSStatus error -12666.)", NSLocalizedFailureReason=An unknown error occurred (-12666), NSLocalizedDescription=The operation could not be completed}
I have asked this issue on iOS Developer forum and got response from Apple - "it's due to a bug in the first 8.0 seed".
However, they didn't say that they'll fix this bug and instead asking me why I need to do this. Does anyone have the same problem?
