Here's a random tip:

If for some reason you want to be able to search for any books you have on the Reject list, first set up an error column.

Then try to update the rejected fics, and press "yes" when it tells you that all the updates failed.

Then you can search #fanficerrror:"Story on Reject URLs list"

First off, thanks to all of you who participate in this forum, it has helped me loads over the years. However, I've finally run into something I haven't seen in the forums.

So I was attempting to run the FanFicFare plugin via calibre-debug to fetch urls from a file that get's generated every 4 hours. Basically it's a nodejs script that checks my email for anything labeled fanfiction and then makes a list of urls to feed FFF.

I get the following error when attempting to do this:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "runpy.py", line 194, in _run_module_as_main
File "runpy.py", line 87, in _run_code
File "site.py", line 82, in <module>

File "site.py", line 49, in run_entry_point
File "calibre\debug.py", line 313, in main
File "calibre_plugins.fanficfare_plugin.__init__", line 136, in cli_main
File "calibre_plugins.fanficfare_plugin.fanficfare.cli" , line 324, in main
File "calibre_plugins.fanficfare_plugin.fanficfare.cli" , line 364, in do_download

File "calibre_plugins.fanficfare_plugin.fanficfare.conf igurable", line 849, in _read
configparser.ParsingError: Source contains parsing errors: '<???>'

And then a whole lot of xml or something after that.

Link example that was in the infile: https://archiveofourown.org/works/23...pters/68942607

Actual command used: calibre-debug -r FanFicFare -- -c "E:\Projects\NodeJS\personal.ini" -d --non-interactive -i "E:\Projects\NodeJS\ffn_updates_202011171842.t xt"

Currently running Calibre V 5.7.2 and FFF v3.26.0 on a windows 10 machine.

Does anyone have a clue what I'm doing wrong here?

Thanks for the help.

[JimmXinu]

Huh. I don't know what's going on there, but I do see it too. It's failing to parse the builtin defaults.ini for some reason.

Of course, the obvious answer is use the actual CLI version instead of Calibre.

- Apply ensure_text() to INIs with plugin CLI.

[pclarity]

Awesome! That seems to have solved it. Thanks for the quick turn around.

Seems fanfiction.net is somehow blocking FanFicFare resulting in a 403 for some stories like this one:

https://www.fanfiction.net/s/13422705/1/Troubled-Waters

It's not user agent based, adding one to personal.ini changed nothing.

I use Calibre 5.7.2 and FanFicFare v3.26.0 on Kubuntu 20.10.

[JimmXinu]

I'm seeing that, too, except with 503 in plugin for some reason.

Also reported here:
https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFare/issues/614

Let's try to discuss this issue on github so it's all in one place, please.

[Da Man]

OK, will look there.

It's not just this plugin. I've been using the program FanfictionDownloader for years Link and it's suddenly stopped working. That this plugin is also broken means that fanfiction.net has probebly figured out how to block them. Thats really annoying since I like having backups of stories as writers sometimes remove stories I like.

I like reading the stories on my Tablet - workaround for now. Open the current book on your HD in Sigil. Use 'Save as E-Book' Firefox plugin to open new chapter on FF. Copy/paste the new chapter from SAE as a new XML file in Sigil. Save/close.

Dear Plug-In Authors,

I'm new to the forum, but the most recent addition to the FFF Plug-In for Calibre seems to have a problem. I can no longer download or update books from fanfiction.net (FFNET).

Note: I was trying one book at a time and turning on my VPN doesn't do anything. I also tried multiple books and links. None of them worked. I don't think the plug-in was broken (by me) because I haven't touched the settings. Also, it downloaded two AO3 links just fine.

The error message: "HTTP Error 403: Forbidden"

Moved into correct plugin thread.

[ownedbycats]

I can confirm the error happens for me, as well. 403 Forbidden. Bit alarming to see a big red error icon show up on half of my in-progress fics.
