[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

[JimmXinu]

HazelSh, the author of the adapter for that site, committed some code that says it should make update work. ("fanficfare should now recognise when the most recent chapter has been updatet (chunk timestamp in URL)")

I don't read that site, so I don't know myself. Try it and see.

Sometimes in wuxiaworld.co and novelupdates.cc there are chapters that are empty of content and always put the same message:

In preparation, Keguan Please wait a moment, after the updates, you need to refresh the page to get the latest updates!

These chapters are marked in grey in the chapter list.

This is something that was resolved before: https://www.mobileread.com/forums/sh...69#post3863969

But with the changes in those site in August, and the changes made in the adapter to keep working, the 'In preparation' chapters aren't ignored since then.

Thanks for developing and maintaining such awesome piece of software.

I need an example story URL and/or an HTML snippet like Ser4nb2LUY6e provided to even try.

Sorry

In this novel the 2 last chapters, 1079 and 1080 at the moment, are 'In preparation' chapters:

Novel:
https://www.wuxiaworld.co/Godly-Model-Creator/

'In preparation' chapter (1079):
https://www.wuxiaworld.co/Godly-Mode...r/2796719.html

In this novel the chapter 680 is 'In preparation'. In this case the chapter isn't at the end, but in the middle:

Novel:
https://www.wuxiaworld.co/Martial-Arts-Master/

'In preparation' chapter (680):
https://www.wuxiaworld.co/Martial-Ar...r/2571049.html

Just did the latest FFF update, and now when I post URL's to download they aren't going to separate lines, you have to manually hit enter between posting each URL. Is this a glitch or was it changed for some reason?

[JimmXinu]

Yes, it was changed to more standard natural editing. Dragging links instead of pasting will still automatically get a new line.

You can also drag-n-drop selected text from a web page containing story URLs and get them that way.

[JDesat]

Ahh... I tend to copy-paste links from my email and the sites themselves, so I find it a bit annoying, but I'll try the drag-n-drop I guess.

- adapter_wuxiaworldco/adapter_novelupdatescc: Re-add Don't include grayed out 'In preparation' chapters

(Because of course we can't go a single day after a new release. )

You didn't give me any adapter_novelupdatescc examples, so that's untested.

I wonder which site adapters break down the most often.

[DandalfTheWhite]

Love the new menus for Anthology and Update mode. Figure I usually come in here and talk about my issues so I would just send some kudos your way for your continued development of this plugin, which I use more than I can say. So, thank you!

I really love the new options for Anthology epubs! This gives me great joy!

I've got a troubleshooting question, though - I'm having trouble with the "Make Anthology Epub from Webpage" option. I'm following a series that's a oneshot collection and there are currently 136 oneshots. I'd like to make it an anthology, but every time I try to make an anthology using the "Make Anthology Epub from Webpage" option I get several instances of "HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests". If I retry, sometimes the same stories bounce and sometimes it's different ones, but I've been unable to get all 136 oneshots in one go.

If I choose to update my library anyway and take the anthology with missing stories, then run "Update Anthology Epub", I also get "HTTP Error 429: Too Many Requests" on one to multiple stories. These don't always line up with the stories that failed to download when I created the anthology in the first place. However, if I try to accept the download and update the Anthology, I get a popup box titled "ERROR: Unhandled exception" that says "KeyError:'all_metadata'" and the anthology does not add in the stories that failed the first time, even though the log says they did update successfully.

If I manually remove from the "Update Anthology Epub" list the URLs for the stories that did successfully download the first time (so it's only calling the stories that didn't get added) I get a popup box titled "Stories Removed" that says "There are [number of removed urls] stories in the current anthology that are not going to be kept if you go ahead. Story URLs that will be removed:[list of removed urls]. Update anyway?" Obviously, this defeats the point if it's just going to delete all the stories that correctly downloaded the first time.

Is there any way to get around this so I can update an Anthology with a large number of stories? I feel like there should be, but I can't figure it out.

(Also, if it helps, the series I'm trying to do this with is located here: https://archiveofourown.org/series/1412962)
