I'd started writing a whole rant about how if they can't fix their API, it's just going to stay broken, but that's hardly fair. There's lots of other sites that FFDL has to scrape more than one page to collect all the necessary data.

Does FFDL pick those up? I thought I'd hooked up all the metadata to custom columns but I've overlooked stuff like this before.  |
Since we're scraping anyway, sure, why not. Those are now appearing in the 'warning' metadata.
The attached version, I believe, addresses all of the issues so far raised.

I don't put a donate link on FFDL because a) I didn't create the project originally (although I have added or rewritten pretty much the whole core over the last 2 years), b) it takes content from various websites and I don't want to give the appearance of asking for money for other people's content, and c) it's
FanFictionDownLoader--we get away with fanfic because nobody's asking for money for it.
If you look on the
Plugin Index and search for JimmXinu, you'll see that I do have 3 other plugins that I do have donation links for.
