Electrum: 2.6.3 jsonrpclib.jsonrpc.ProtocolError

[eharvester]

I get the above error when calling electrum broadcast <tx>. It worked until 2.5.4. <tx> is valid, since I can broadcast it with 2.5.4 and it gets confirmed.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/local/bin/electrum", line 371, in <module>
    result = server.run_cmdline(config_options)

Thanks a lot. broadcast works now and is accepted by mempools.

What format is the output of electrum broadcast? It changed since 2.5.4. In 2.5.4 it just returned the txid. Now it returns more. Is that valid json fromat?

Here is what I see:

[
    true, 
    "e5021......"
]

[ecdsa]

yes, the boolean shows the success/failure of the operation

[eharvester]

I see. Is it possible to use the same format as with e.g. electrum payto? Would be easier to process, since output is more uniform. Thanks.

electrum payto json output:

{
    "complete": true, 
    "hex": "010000000...."
}
