Hi, I've got something that I'm trying to do that I'm wondering if you could help me with.
Basically, I want to see if any stories I have downloaded have been deleted from the site hosting them. The way I've done this in the past was by forcing updates (or over-writes, I forgot which), and seeing which stories didn't have their date change. The way I did it, the only stories that kept the old downloaded date were the ones that were deleted from the site.
The problem with this is that I don't want to accidentally overwrite a story with an inferior updated version (something like a censored version to comply with site rules, which I have seen before.)
Basically, I need something that always updates the date if the story is will online, but won't overwrite any pre-existing chapters. Downloading any new chapters is okay. Of course, I'm open to alternative methods to check if stories are gone from the hosting websites too. I would think that the "update ebub always " function might do this, but my attempts to test it are unsuccessful.I'm getting this error:
"Couldn't find a tree builder with the features you requested: html5lib. Do you need to install a parser library?"The story I tried it with is:
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11998350/1/ but I don't think that has anything to do with it, as another story also through the same error, and it seems like a more general problem.
I'm running Calibre 3.210 with the newest stable release of FFF on Linux Mint 19.1 if that helps.
