ss_monitor error

[charredchar]

I have been attempting to use your ss_monitor along with od_server in order to watch a folder for camera images and trigger an alert when an object of interest is present. I managed to get the od_server updated and running with Python 3.8 and TensorFlow 2.3 but ss_monitor is giving me a lot of issues. Currently when ever I sees a new file it will send it to od_server as the following:

127.0.0.1 - - [18/Oct/2020 02:31:50] "�[31m�[1mGET /?file_dir=C:/Users/char/Desktop/MyHouse/image%5Clivingroom-hdt.20201018_023146261.jpg HTTP/1.1�[0m" 400 -

But the ss_monitor instantly returns the following error and stops responding:

C:\Users\char\Desktop\MyHouse>python ss_monitor.py Sun Oct 18 02:31:21 2020 Starting Exception in thread Thread-1: Traceback (most recent call last): File "C:\Users\char\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\threading.py", line 932, in _bootstrap_inner self.run() File "C:\Users\char\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\site-packages\watchdog\observers\api.py", line 203, in run self.dispatch_events(self.event_queue, self.timeout) File "C:\Users\char\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\site-packages\watchdog\observers\api.py", line 376, in dispatch_events handler.dispatch(event) File "C:\Users\char\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\site-packages\watchdog\events.py", line 330, in dispatch self.on_any_event(event) File "ss_monitor.py", line 93, in on_any_event rj = r.json() File "C:\Users\char\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\site-packages\requests\models.py", line 898, in json return complexjson.loads(self.text, **kwargs) File "C:\Users\char\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\json\__init__.py", line 357, in loads return _default_decoder.decode(s) File "C:\Users\char\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\json\decoder.py", line 337, in decode obj, end = self.raw_decode(s, idx=_w(s, 0).end()) File "C:\Users\char\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python38\lib\json\decoder.py", line 355, in raw_decode raise JSONDecodeError("Expecting value", s, err.value) from None json.decoder.JSONDecodeError: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0)

I have been attempting to fix the directory path it sends as well, replacing the %5c with a / as it should be but I have not had any luck. I do not know if the two are related.
