So managed to find the installer and got it installed per the instructions, but metadata retrival with FFF seems to crawl now with flaresolverr running. Is this normal?

I've added the code from the previous comment into my personal.ini as suggested.

Actually ignore this. I changed literally nothing other than putting a copy of my personal.ini in my user folder (And adding said user folder to a new %HOME% environment variable because windows doesn't have one by default) and now the tables have the formatting correctly.

I am very confused but it's working so whatever.

Basically, yes.

The Calibre FanFicFare plugin uses personal.ini from inside your plugin settings, not a copy anywhere on disk.

(This forum is specifically for calibre plugins.)

Thank you, and I appreciate the response. Is there anything I can do to speed it up or perhaps configure that would eliminate any unnecessary processes?

I pretty much just read from Novelfull only.

I saw your Github closed post from about 2.5 weeks ago that you referenced an old closed post from 3 years ago about Novelfull/flaresolverr. Ironically, I've never run it until now, never had issues with FFF and Novelfull until about 2.5 weeks ago... been using both for over 3+ years...

It all started right after 8.8 Calibre/4.48 FFF came out (because I updated my books on 07/29 and they worked, but updated the software the following weekend)... pure coincidence probably, but very odd timing all the same.

Really appreciate the work btw, it's a great feature that works very well.

With running flaresolverr, is it possible to go after other sites like Novelbin or FreeWebNovel?

We've been seeing these issues for 4+ years on various sites. You were lucky to not have issues until now.

No.
