I've ran a one line shell script as a workaround that does find . -name "*.epub" -type f -exec 7z d {} "ffdl*.*" -r \; on the calibre directories but would like to automate things. This is for royalroad stories in particular. My old kindle can't handle books with 300 book referral images in them. It only has 1GB to start and those images eat up the space quick. I'd love to just weed out the book referrals entirely but didn't see an option.

Code:

[<storyUrl>]
include_images:false

Or put it under [<site>] for wider coverage.

No, FFF will not download the cover then. But if the epub already has a cover and you also set use_old_cover:true, it should keep it.

A story I'm trying to download (This one: https://archiveofourown.org/works/73097281 )
has an mp4 video on one of the chapters that kills conversion to KFX. (The SVG images in the story also cause problems, but for those I can just disable image processing)

We have:

cover_exclusion_regexp
no_image_processing_regexp
force_img_self_referer_regexp

But not one for "don't include these images".

However, I don't think it would help in this case--because the mp4 in that story is not an <img> tag. It's a <video> tag.

From defaults.ini:

Code:

## By default, script and style tags are removed from chapter text as
## part of cleaning up the source HTML.  Found several book readers
## that didn't treat those tags in <body> correctly.  Set to empty if
## you want to keep those tags.
remove_tags:script,style

In personal.ini add:

Code:

add_to_remove_tags:,video

Under story URL, site, or defaults section as you choose.

(FYI, FFF does not download and include the content for <video> tags.)

You might consider using Convert's Search and Replace instead if you bump into this a lot.

I'm getting some issues trying to download stories from literotica.

It states "error" under status, title and author are both saying "unknown" and the comment states "list index out of range"

There were two stories I noted this on.

I did install the new update when it came out the other day.

I am not sure if literotica has changed their site but I have been getting "list index out of range" errors whenever I try and download. I know they did some site maintenance on May 30 and that might have broken FFF. I am using the latest official release of FFF and calibre.

JimmXinu · 06-03-2026, 05:28 PM

Yeah, that looks like the site has changed. Again.

It's not trivial this time. I've opened an issue on github(#1355)

EDIT: Literotica site changed, downloading it is broken until FFF can be updated.

Correction to generate_cover_settings advice:

generate_cover_settings:

 ${storyUrl} => works/9999$ =>
# match any title
 ${storyUrl} => .+ => MyGC

Actually, if you do use this, you should use the full story URL. Certain partial URLs can match multiple sites.

generate_cover_settings:

 ${storyUrl} => ^https://archiveofourown.org/works/9999$ =>
# match any title

It seems to only allow include_images under epub and not under site or is that something in the test version?

Technically, include_images applies to [epub] and [html] formats.

And because [epub] has higher priority than [<site>], you need to use [<site>:epub] to override the [epub] defaults.ini setting.

Sorry, I only tested for [<storyUrl>] and forgot that wrinkle.

Thank you for your thorough response. I read the wiki again and might have understood it a bit better

. In any case, seems the easiest solution is just turning off ocvers before updating those particular books.

It appears that the issue is with stories that are set up series. If it's an individual entry, then FFF seems to work OK, both downloading from URL and anthology

I tried to use browser cache with series but that does not seem to be a workaround. I don't think there's any temp solution to download series. Fingers crossed it is easily fixable.

- adapter_literotica: Fix for 2026 SolidStart site change#1358, thanks akshayrangnekar

The FFF site specific option tags_from_chapters isn't implemented for newer stories. Hopefully the site accumulates tags better now.

And dates_from_chapters is effectively on all the time with the new code.

If you use (or explicitly don't use) those options, please report if I should revisit them.

The latest test version of FFF is working to download series thanks so much! I don't use the options mentioned (unless they are turned on by default).

The new INI snippet GUI feature is very useful, but seems to have a small bug.

When I download or update an anthology/series from ao3, the saved INI snippets are not shown, the only options shown are No INI snippet and Edit one time snippet.

Edit: Tried the Edit one time snippet on an anthology and saved that one. Saved INI snippets are now being shown for updating/downloading anthology/series from ao3.

JimmXinu · 06-05-2026, 11:08 PM

I don't see anything unusual with INI Snippets and anthology download or update...
