[hevreka]

Hiya i am having some problems with FFDL when i try to download a storie.

i Get This From FFDL :

Status // Title // Author // Comment // URL
Error // Harry Potter: The Lone Traveller // The Professional // 'utf8' codec can't decode byte 0xf6 in position 41: invalid start byte //
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/2673584/1/

the "//" i put in the Error text to help see the string and not make it a blurrr.

I know this is going to be asked. Which version of Calibre and FFDL are you using, and on which OS?

Calibre 1.16 and FFDL 1.8.5 on Windows 7 have no problems with that URL.

Yep. Works fine for me, too. Make sure you (hevreka) have the latest version of both plugin and calibre.

Hi, I was curious to know if the Angst Archive could be added to the list of archives FFDL plugin supports? It's an efiction archive so I'm not sure if I'd need to make code changes on the archive to make this happen?

663 stories and no updates on their Recent list. Plus, from the front page:

The Angst Archive
otherwise known as the issues of consent archive
...
If you do not like stories containing physical and/or psychological abuse, and non-consensual sex. Please find another archive.

If somebody else wants to write an adapter for it, I'll include it. But I'm not interested in doing it.

[Amalthia]

Thanks for giving it consideration. It's an older archive.

[Feynor]

FF.net have made a little change that breaks the adapter.
(The URL for fictionratings in line 160 of adapter_fanfictionnet.py needs to be changed to https)

Jim, I pushed the change on Hg. I hope you don't mind.

Happy Holidays

Edit: Removed obsolete build

[Feynor]

Is there a way to "enhance" FFDL to only download new chapters?
FF.net is getting very slow when downloading something like this: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/5681042/1/
(75 chapters)
Caveat: This would, of course, mean that existing chapters wouldn't be updated.

I think that's what the "Update EPUB if new chapters" option is for.

Hmmm, I'll have to have a look at that option next time I run into a long story. I have seen it of course, but read the "if" literally.

This resolved the problem for me.

Replace your existing plugin with the zip-archive above from Feynor, FanFiction has tweaket ist code, again....

Would be nice if there was an update of the versions number so calibre installs the new version itselfs, I have searched where the plugin is stored, i Tought ist was somewhere in the caliber order, it wasnt, it was somewehere in the settigs directory of the User.

[leckadams]

I know that in an earlier post it shows you how to do so, but I odn' tknow where that is...how do i update with the zip drive?

Version 1.8.06 - 23 Dec 2013

• Fix for latest ffnet change.
• Additional sleep added to ffnet metadata downloads.
• New site: literotica.com. Thanks to de3sw2aq1.
• Tweak to htmlheuristics for literotica.com (unicode vs str).

I was going to wait until next week for this update, but ffnet had other ideas.

After 3 years, one of my favorite stories has finished: In Flight by gabriel blessing
Highly recommended.
