Works fine for me with that story.

There's probably firewall or antivirus software on your computer blocking outgoing connections. If you're on a 'public' network instead of a 'private' one that may cause it to behave differently.

Usually that error comes from trying to open an incoming port, but the plugin only opens outgoing connections.

ok you were right i just didnt get how it worked before without problems but now it messes up my firewall is weird.

Would it be possible to add http://ninelives.dark-solace.org/ to the list of supported sites? There seems to be another dark-solace.org site already supprted so hopefully it would not be too difficult. Thank you sooooo much for this plugin.

I guess if you want to read that site you already know what the fandom is, but I don't.

It says it's exclusively 'Caryl' stories. Looking at recent stories, that seems to be "Carol Pelletier and Daryl Dixon", which Google suggests means the fandom is The Walking Dead.

New test version posted (direct link) with Base eFiction adapter for ninelives.dark-solace.org.

Note that ninelives.dark-solace.org also has a 'download epub' link (the little green book icon--see attached).

Yes, it's Walking Dead stories about two particular characters. The site is quite active with new stories and updates everyday. I'm aware that the site has download links but your plugin is so much better for keeping track of the stories still in progress and syncing the new chapters into calibre.

I just thought I'd ask and I really appreciate that you added it. Thank you!

You're welcome--I'm glad you like it. But do please read and remember the FAQ: Why shouldn't I just select my entire library and use FanFicFare plugin to check for updates?

Yes definitely! I noticed that the plugin tags the finished stories as "Completed" so that makes it really easy not to waste resources. I will not abuse the system. Promise! Thanks again.

New test version posted (direct link).

Add 'Download from Email Immediately' optional feature to plugin Email settings tab. Somebody asked for that, I think.

Hi,
I made a custum column for the characters.
It´s automatically filled by a setting in index tab "costum column".
The column is defined as "comma separated text, like tags, shown in the tag browser" and "contains names" is marked.
That works so far and I get an entry in these column with the characters.

example: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/6589301/1/

Except that all characters are put in the column als one tag:
"Burton G./Gus, John W." etc.
But I´d like to have each person as an individually tag.

I found that to get separate tags I have to replace the comma with an "&".
(I have no idea why because I selected "comma separated text" and the characters are separated with comma...)

I tried it by manually changing each of these tags (via tag browser) to separate tags by replacing each comma with "&".
But that´s a lot of work and if I update a story my changed tags are overwritten and I´m back with the original entry ("Burton G./Gus, John W.") as one tag.

How do I get each character as a separate tag and how can I avoid that my changed entries are overwritten?

It's the "Contains names" setting. If you look at the tooltip for it (see attached), you see it further says like the Authors column. The authors column is ampersand separated, not comma separated.

Go back in to your column def, uncheck that box, restart calibre and it will work as you expect.

That means I can choose "comma separated text" and use it as it is
OR
change it to use "&" as separation by marking "contains names"?

It seems as if I misunderstood the effects of marking "contains names"...

Firstly I should say how much I love this plug-in. Recently I noticed that when I "Update existing..." a selection of fics that it occasionally just hangs, at first I thought I was just the sites blocking traffic so I reduced the group size from about 30 to <10 but it was still happening. Then I realised that fic it was hanging on was "story not found" when I manually clicked on them. I remember that the bad link updates used to go through as normal and it would just appear as bad/story not found in the log, but now it just stalls the update indefinitely until I give up and cancel Is anyone else having this issue? If it matters I've got Calibre 2.32.1 on a Yosemite system.

What is the URL for the 'story not found' that you're seeing the problem with?

Its happening with all of the bad links but heres the latest: https://www.fanfiction.net/s/10861798/1/
https://www.fanfiction.net/s/11259294/1/

Basically I've been updating my whole library (in small batches to avoid the ff ao3 blocks) to recapture the original tags/metadata because I'm reshuffling my sorting system. So I've noticed this happen with 15+ bad story links so far. So I'll set ~30 to update before bed, I'll wake up and its stuck on 6/30, without fail fic 7 has a dud link. I deselect it and the other 29 go fine. If I just select that one to update (or its 1st in a batch) it hangs in the "Fetching metadata for stories..." stage and never goes on to the "Fetched metadata for 1/?" stage.
