See bug bug #561378: please take care of something like what proposed in
comment 7, maybe also adding an hard-coded English message like:

  alert("Found a L10N issue with the current language pack!\r\nPlease
contact your System Administrator.")

It's something useful regardless the specific issue found into the ITA
language pack: it will give chances to recover issues when the object
returned by the server through JSON will be corrupted someway.

Bug description:
Mahara 1.2.2 (vanilla)
LAMP, PHP 5.2.12
MySQL
Integrated with Moodle, SSO IN (Moodle > Mahara)

It seems just related toa  missing configuration parameter, ''videoid''; is it a bug or an error/missing done during the installation? IMHO no reason for the JSON encode error since no data has been passed yet and no chance at all to break any enconding sequence.
