Thanks for looking into it. I PM'd you a couple of URLs that were giving me the login error.

ETA: Update options I'm using are epub output and 'Update if New Chapters'

I just sent you a URL. Just before sending I tried to do an update to see if it fixed and still got prompted for login information. Option I used for update was epub and 'Overwrite if Newer'

[Ealdwulf]

Now things get really weird.

A while back I created a test library so I could work with things like add_to_replace_metadata, exclude_metadata_pre, replace_metadata, etc. but had never used it.

I copy that first story to that test library and then change to it, attempt to update and get the message website is not newer which I know is wrong because there is a newer chapter than what I have so I use 'Overwrite Always' and it pulls it so I can update. I tell it 'No' since I am only using as a test.

I go back to the original library and try that same story again with original option of 'Overwrite if Newer' and it gives me no error but detects a newer version and offers to update, so again I tell it 'No', as I am still testing things. That is when I go test the second story I sent you the URL for.

It still gives the error of wanting my to provide login credentials. So I have No clue what is happening.

I tried the three story URLs I was sent by Ealdwulf and wildfire070. They downloaded fine for me.

Given the inconsistency, I'm inclined to think it's transient network or server errors, or maybe cloudflare sticking its nose in.

That's kind of what I was wondering myself. I guess I will wait until later to try and do my updates again and seed what happens.

Another thing I noticed..."always_login:true" is default in my personal.ini. With that enabled, it would give me the login error. But with it disabled, it seems to download fine. Guess I'll keep that disabled for now.

[JimmXinu]

always_login:true does exactly that--always logs in before downloading.

AO3 hides stories that are restricted to logged in users completely, so to download them, you need always_login:true. But only for restricted stories.

Edit: Or to collect your own metadata like bookmarks.

Recently started reading some of the Asian & Wuxia & Light Novels online. (Mostly the post apocalyptic survival or Zombie survival type stories)

But cant find the stories I want to read on sites supported by FFF.

I did see one in the list but the list looks like this:

novelfull.com
Example URLs:
- no
- such
- example

I would guess Novelfull is not supported anymore? Pasting URLs does not come up with anything.

I am not sure how difficult it is to add new websites,

But would love if sites like the ones below could be added:
https://rolyz.com/
https://www.mtlnovels.com/
https://www.webnovel.com/

Thanks,

[JimmXinu]

The example story URLs are deliberately not real stories, but examples of the URL form.

novelfull is working for me. According to my notes, for a while, novelfull only worked with flaresolverr, but now it doesn't work with flaresolverr for me. Cloudflare.

This issue on github documents why I'm reluctant to add new translated/original fiction sites to FFF.

They aren't sure what the problem is, either. AO3 recommends clearing cache and trying again, but how do we do that in FFF?

[JimmXinu]

Basically, FFF only keeps a cache for a single download session. So there's no clearing required. Or possible.

You can restart Calibre if you really feel the need to do something.

Good to know, thanks! Retrying without closing Calibre first wasn't working, but closing and restarting Calibre seems to have done the trick.

Ok I see that issue and understand why you are reluctant to add new sites.

Hmm, I was pointing out there are no listed examples for novelfull in the list of working sites, so I could not tell what the required format is for novelfull.

For example I want to get this story:
https://novelsfull.com/novel/my-doom...ain-f582302ee8

When I open FFF it does not recognize this URL in the clipboard and opens blank, pasting the url also does nothing.

If novelfull i working for you maybe I don't have something configured correctly.

Thanks,

That's because novel_s_full is not the same as novel_full. They appear to be completely different sites.

Dooh!!! Oops completely miss read that.

Thanks,
