As of v4.20, FFF's Browser Cache feature does not work with the FanFictionDownloader program anymore.

You could use WebToEpub, open_pages_in_browser, or even downgrade to an earlier version of FFF. See: https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...erCacheFeature

I'm not certain what "Forbidden URL" means in this case. It would depend where and when exactly you saw it, but I would speculate if FFF reported it, that the path to browser cache wasn't the same, or wasn't there yet.

Hi, is there a way to fuse a story from two diferent sites? like not in anthology. Some times there are authors who upload their stories on diferent sites and the story is the same but the users that like to do omakes do it on the site they mainly use so you have diferent omakes on diferent sites, is there a way to have like "main" site and then just inject the omakes on the epub?

[JimmXinu]

Not really. I don't know of any good way for FFF to do that.

The FFF anthology feature can be used with story URLs from different sites, but that doesn't 'fuse' them.

Something I use myself for a handful of stories that appear on both SpaceBattles and SufficientVelocity is keep both stories in my library, but not include the main story in one.

Example:

[https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/threads/a-darker-path-worm-fanfic.107715/]
add_to_skip_threadmarks_categories:,Threadmarks,Informational
add_to_replace_metadata:
 title=>^(.*)$=>\1 SV Omakes

Depending on the story, there will still be duplication of cross posted omake/apocrypha, but at least the main story isn't duplicated.

Theoretically, you could use that with anthology, but I haven't tried it.

I used anthology feature while using the code but modifing it with my story and it kinda works. I like to have the omakes in between chapters and this way it doesn't do that (only for the "main" one) but at least I don't have the story duplicated and it's just one epub so, is better than what it was, thanks for the help!

What is the reasoning for not allowing a replace_metadata to have a conditional of the same type that's being replaced?

I have the impression it's to prevent FFF from getting caught in a recursive loop, but I can't remember if I've asked this before or if it's an educated guess.

Correct. It's been discussed a few times over the years, but not recently that I recall.

Is it possible to make it so that you can actually use the cancel button in the fetch metadata popup? I've noticed that when FFF is unable to fetch the metadata due to a website error, it just freezes Calibre and I'm forced to end the entire Calibre process and restart to continue using Calibre. Even in cases where the website has no problems, the metadata fetch popup with the cancel button is unresponsive so you can't cancel until FFF gets to actually downloading the story.

I'm using Calibre v7.2 on Windows 10.

Hi, is anyone else getting this error message:

Error
Hua Xianle
Author_Of_Insanity101, Tiffany_Guinne
HTTP Error in FFF '503 Server Error: Service Unavailable for url: https://archiveofourown.org/works/37...=true'(503)
https://archiveofourown.org/works/37682095

I turned off browser cache on FFF. This error message started this morning. I'm on Windows 11 and using Calibre 7.2. FFF is version 4.30.0.

Thanks,
Amalthia

Thanks! I should have checked AO3 twitter status first.

[ownedbycats]

For what it matters, HTTP status codes in the 5xx range are pretty much all serverside issues - - 500 Internal Service Error, 502 Bad Gateway, 503 Service Unavailable, 504 Gateway Timeout, etc etc. There isn't much to be done except wait for the site to be fixed.

The 4xx range are more likely client errors - so if you get 401 Unauthorized, 403 Forbidden, etc, that's when you'd want to check your FFF settings. (Though 404 Not Found and 410 Gone would indicate that the page isn't there.)

I am trying to make it so all of the ships have the same formate.
I want:
CharacterA/CharacterB
CharacterA & CharacterB
I have added Lines:
ships=> /=>/
ships=>/ =>/
to remove any spaces on either side of the / but I don't know if there is a way to make sure there is a space on either side of the &.

Try this:

## You can use \s in the replacement to add explicit spaces.  (The config parser
## tends to discard trailing spaces.)
# ...
 ships=>[ ]*/[ ]*=>/
 ships=>[ ]*&[ ]*=>\s&\s

Hello
First of all, FanFicFare is a great plugin, but how can I download multiple links from individual books?
I enter a link and it searches for all available individual books, but it is also possible to enter several links which then search for the individual books. If this is not possible, you could add this function.
I hope I explained it reasonably well.

Thanks
