Thank you!

Yes on the FFF config. Using the same browser. I assume if config were wrong I would have similar issues on other stories (new or chapter updates...).

Anyway, I'll clear the cache again, double-check browser path per BrowserCacheFeature wiki and add the additional browser options you suggested to my personal.ini - I think I only have use_browser_cache: true in my .ini.

I hope it works. I'll let you know.
Thanks again for taking the time JimmXinu.
I really appreciate it.

Hmm

I cleared the cache again and downloaded successfully even before adding the suggested .ini options. I'll add them anyway - can't go wrong following expert advice...

Thanks again!
Best always,
Ronnie

You need to bump your post count above 10, post some replies in the Lounge

That'll thwart the anti-canned meat measure - and save me some work

I'm sorry for the extra work... I'm new here, I would expect a low post count (?). I'm not sure what Lounge is, but my inquiry was FFF specific and I have - now and on a previous occasion - received outstanding support/suggestions/advice.

Hopefully I won't create too big a headache for you; not my intention...
Sorry and thank you!
Ronnie

I somehow suspect this isn't a FFF issue specifically, but does anybody know why sometimes I get an email notification about a fanfic update on AO3 but then when I go to download it the last-updated date is several weeks (or even months) old?

ownedbycats · 10-14-2023, 02:18 PM

How would I replace_metadata to insert some text (separate paragraph) at the beginning of description? I ended up accidentally overwriting the description which isn't quite what I wanted, lol.

This is for a series description, using seriesUrl as conditional.

JimmXinu · 10-14-2023, 02:39 PM

Pretty easy:

Code:

add_to_replace_metadata:
 description=>^(.*)$=>Prefix \1

If you have keep_summary_html:true (which is the default), you might want to use HTML.

ownedbycats · 10-14-2023, 02:57 PM

It worked! I was trying to do the same, I guess I made a typo in the regex.

chicleeblair · 10-16-2023, 12:50 PM

Since at least yesterday, if I’ve tried to get fics from my email, and the update has been a new chapter, FFF has told me that they’ve been skipped because they’re duplicate stories. All fits have been AO3, and if I go directly to them and update ePub there has been a new chapter, so for instance I had five chapters on this fic and it updated to six. I’ve updated to the latest version of the plug-in, still happened, and I’m on calibre 6.27

ownedbycats · 10-16-2023, 12:53 PM

AO3 update emails contain at least two link to the story, so you'll get at least one 'duplicate story' message. Are the fics actually getting updated?

That sounds like you may have your default update mode (aka "If Story Already Exists?") set to Skip instead of Update. See wiki page for a full discussion of updates modes.

FYI, I do not see 'duplicate story' messages from duplicated story URLs when updating from AO3 emails.

I get it with drag and drop. There's a link for the main story, and one for the specific chapter.

JimmXinu · 10-16-2023, 01:25 PM

I get two copies of the chapter URL which are then dedupped when update starts.

I wonder if AO3 has settings to send different things in email notices for different users.

ownedbycats · 10-16-2023, 01:48 PM

I'm not seeing anything about email notifications in the settings, except disabling emails for gift fics. They do combine notification emails sometimes, I think it has to be the same author at least.

ownedbycats · 10-16-2023, 06:11 PM

Question: On AO3, sometimes authors use pseuds identical to the main name, 'abc (abc)' How would I replace_metadata to automatically remove the bracketed part when it's duplicate?
