Can you give an example URL (SFW) in text that I can try?

AO3 is struggling today, but I was able to get a list of story URLs from a tags works page.

And even when it doesn't work, you can always copy/paste or highlight/drag the HTML page from browser into FFF.

It's been happening for quite a while. https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Star Wars - All Media Types/works is the URL I've been using to test different fixes. The error I attached is what I get when I paste the URL directly into that box after deleting the incomplete URL that appears when I open it, so that isn't working for me either. Occasionally I'll get one to work, but then if I try others after that, or if I try the same one again, nothing will work.

I assume that is meant to be:

Code:

https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Star Wars - All Media Types/works

If I put it in the browser, load the page, then copy it from the browser, I get %20 for the spaces and everything works. It looks like so:

Code:

https://archiveofourown.org/tags/Star%20Wars%20-%20All%20Media%20Types/works

FFF's code that gets URLs from the clipboard does a basic 'split()' and that's why it's stopping at '/Star'.

That code is some 11 years old. So it's not a recent change in FFF.

Are you saving that url in a text file or something? Otherwise, I would speculate that it's your browser, or something in your copy/paste chain that doesn't add the %20 or removes it.

Copying the full URL (with spaces) into FFF, something down inside libraries FFF calls replaces the spaces with '+', which is an older substitution but should still be valid.

I would further speculate that AO3's servers aren't accepting the '+' anymore for some reason.

You are a wizard, thank you. I'm not sure where the copy/paste issue is exactly, but when I did a find/replace of the spaces and '+'s to use %20 instead it works like it used to for me.

Question: Have AO3 updates been slow for anyone else? I'm guessing its the outage yesterday.

JimmXinu · 01-08-2025, 10:15 PM

AO3 has been extremely slow for me this week.

steltek · 01-08-2025, 11:56 PM

A03 has been absolutely bog slow for me for more than a week now. Like sometimes, 5 minutes or longer to download metadata.

Nothing is timing out so far, but it is literally moving like ice cold molasses.

FrostWard · 01-09-2025, 10:34 AM

A few days ago, FanFicFare won't download anything through links, I thought maybe it was the recent configuration i gave it, so I uninstalled it and installed it again, but it will keep going to Fetching Metadata and then goes unresponsive and i have to close calibre, could it be because calibre updated to the latest version?

(ps. sorry if the message is repeated or something, i legit just created an account to ask for help cause i cant find a way to fix it myself, and its my first time using this forum)

JimmXinu · 01-09-2025, 10:52 AM

What site(s)? Because we were just discussing how AO3 has been extremely slow lately....

FrostWard · 01-09-2025, 11:31 AM

It was actually ao3. I did read a bit back and noticed ao3 was having some issues, but i assumed it would at least show some progress. In my case it would just force me to close caliber entirely.

ownedbycats · 01-09-2025, 04:40 PM

How do I add a series to a ffnet story?

Manually. ffnet doesn't have a series mechanism.

On the General config tag in the Misc box (middle right), there's a checkbox for 'Inject calibre series when none found' to get that manually set series on the title page on update.

Or if you want, you could play with using include_in_series to give it a value and then replace_metadata to set it to your desired value.

Ok, i fixed it. I just had to downgrade the version of caliber back to 7.22, and it started working again

JimmXinu · 01-10-2025, 01:38 PM

I don't of any reason the Calibre version would make a difference.

Calibre 7.24 just came out, could you try that one?

vorm · 01-10-2025, 08:53 PM

Hello, I need some help. I'm using the Calibri plugin and would like to know if there's a way to set up my personal.ini file to save GIFs as GIF files instead of converting them to JPG.

Specifically, is there an option where I can whitelist/blacklist what types of files are processed?
