Question: is there any way for FFF to automatically remove empty paragraphs?

[fanfictioneer]

Some fanfic downloads never finish after the latest update. The status shows: 2 of 3 stories finished downloading, progress bar at 100%. It's almost like some background process never calls back and notifies the main fanfic process that it's done, or something.

Pastebin of the fanfic log

Thanks for all your hard work!

There are the replace_br_with_p and replace_xbr_with_hr settings:

## Some sites/authors/stories use br tags instead of p tags for
## paragraphs.  This feature uses some heuristics to find and replace
## br paragraphs with p tags while preserving scene breaks.
#replace_br_with_p: false

## Some sites/authors/stories use several br tags for scene/section
## breaks.  When set replace_xbr_with_hr:X will cause FFF to search
## for X or more consecutive br tags and replace them with br br hr br.
#replace_xbr_with_hr:3

I have rejected all requests for more generalized text processing on the grounds that it's a shotgun with a stirrup on the end -- you will shoot yourself in foot with it.

Hmmm. I did see a race condition problem like that before the release, but I thought that I'd found all the possible cases.

Is this something you can reproduce?

(Your log also points out that reduce_zalgo is broken, but that's an easy fix and shouldn't affect this.)

New New Test Version Posted

2021-02-20 - Part 2
- Fix for BG job race conditions.

2021-02-20
- Fix writer_txt import removeAllEntities
- Update plugin about.html
- Fix reduce_zalgo not imported.

I can't promise that this one fixes fanfictioneer problem because I couldn't replicated that, but it does fix a similar but opposite problem I saw of finished downloads not being processed correctly.

This version includes a lot of extra debug output in the BG log and extra test 'sites' specifically for stressing BG processing. For example:

Spoiler:

http://test1.com?sid=1
http://test2.com?sid=1
http://test3.com?sid=1
http://test4.com?sid=1
http://test1.com?sid=2
http://test2.com?sid=2
http://test3.com?sid=2
http://test4.com?sid=2
http://test3.com?sid=3
http://test4.com?sid=3
http://test1.com?sid=3
http://test2.com?sid=3
http://test1.com?sid=4
http://test2.com?sid=4
http://test3.com?sid=4
http://test4.com?sid=4
http://test1.com?sid=5
http://test2.com?sid=5
http://test3.com?sid=5
http://test4.com?sid=5

and so on...

This is important enough that there will be an early plugin release this weekend to correct it.

I've just update to the latest version and get this error (which already appeared using version 4.0.0) It only happens for ff.net stories
I'm not sure what the problem is. Do you need any other information?

In most cases, this occurs when CloudFlare's bot protection kicks in.

If you are using the browser cache feature and get this error, all the chapters you are trying to download have to have been viewed in the browser before running FFF (if not, FFF tries to download the missing chapters from the server). If you have not used the browser cache feature for FFF, you need to consider adding it to your personal.ini file. While it is more work, once it is properly configured and working it is a lot easier than attempting to fight CloudFlare in the long run.

I have no idea either--it's coming from somewhere down inside the network code.

If you can run in debug mode (under Calibre's Preferences dropdown) and catch a debug log of it I might be able to tell more.

Storiesonline.net not working with the latest plugin v4.0.2.

I copied the URL from the browser in the plugin, but when I run it the logs shows an error saying story not found.

Any idea what this is happening

A test worked here. There was a change on the site recently with the themes. You need to visit the site and choose the "Classic" theme. The adapter does not work with the other themes.
