[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

storyId

There's a button on the personal.ini config tab to show you the defaults.ini file used. That's a good source for that kind of specificity.

[agumon1123]

Is anyone having archiveofourown.gay keep logging them out after ab it when using browser cache with open pages in browser? When I download stories most of them get errors and I cant download locked stories when that happens

Archiveofourown.org does it too

Never mind i figured it out. I had to update my slow down sleep time to a higher number

[Aporatael]

I don't think FFF is working for me I keep getting a "Background Job Failed to Download" error.

The last thing I was able to download was on the 11th.

Here is the full text from some of the error/debug windows.

Hey,
I'm getting an error on ao3 with failed to login on locked stories (those only for logged in users). I get the text filed where I should fill in username and password, even if those are in personal.ini. And that text field reappears every time I fill it out, until I choose cancel multiple times.
For non locked stories the same, those only work, if I set stay alway logged in to false in personal.ini

And for non locked anthologies I have to edit username, password and always logged in out.
The locked ones work with browser cache as a work around for now.

I too ran into the same problem. Now any restricted words will pop up the log in window, even though I have added said log in details inside the personal.ini.

I was able to download them fine yesterday, so maybe this is an AO3 issue?

I'm getting the login pop-up for ALL stories on Ao3, whether they're locked or not, even though my login details are configured in personal.ini.

[vulcana]

I wonder if the ao3 thing is some sort of timing issue. If I have a list of previously failed to download stories I will get the user id and password prompt on one of them and the others in the list download. That is at least how I'm getting some stuff down at the moment. I just have to track the one that failed. (this is happening on the latest and previous versions of FFF as I ran into the issue, updated and still had the issue 4.49.0. I'm not running a test version yet.)

Those look like only partial logs, there's no end or error. If that's really all you get, I'd worry about fundamental things like bad memory, running out of disk space, etc.

Kudos for getting spoiler and code tags right on your post, though.

It was a problem on my end. A restart (that required cutting power to the computer) fixed it.

Confirmed, the test version resolves the issue for me as well.

Thank you very much.

[kimboosan]

I've haunted this forum for a long time, always found the answers I needed. But finally signed up because I am seriously at my wits end:

I have over 100 "in-progress" stories in calibre I've imported from AO3 using FFF, and I've been updating fine until earlier this year. The "is_adult:true" and "alwys_login:true" fixes worked for a while. Now, I can't update anything. I am very much hoping I've just done something dumb that is easy to fix, but if that's the case, I can't figure it out.

Calibre 8.13
FFF v4.49.6 (beta, just installed hoping it would solve issue but nope)

## Don't like the numbers at the start of chapter titles on some

- OTW(AO3): Fix for site change breaking logged in detection. Closes #1263

Should fix AO3 login issues.

No more login error with the test version, but now I'm getting a 503 Server error when using archiveofourown.gay

And when I turn off the ao3.gay setting in personal.ini, I'm getting an "Unhandled Exception" error for "KeyError: 'href' " instead.

Both errors are 'fixed' when I use "Download from URLs" instead of "From Page", but it's not ideal when I'm wanting to download a couple dozen bookmarks
