Email ParsingPerformance Bug? Maybe?
I use a lot of email subscriptions to keep up to date on stories, and I've noticed that when I use the Get Story URLs from Email option, it seems to take significantly longer to parse RoyalRoad notifications than any other. It'll speed through 10-15 emails in as many seconds, then sit at a single Royal Road email notification for upwards of 30 seconds.
I had let my notifications build up for quite a while, and had a few hundred for it to go through, and watching as messages ticked over to Read in my mailbox as FFF scanned through them it was very consistent (and fascinating, in a nerdish sort of way). 1-2 seconds per email (at most), until it hits an RR email, then it would hang for a relatively long time. I'm happy to pack some of the emails up and/or forward to you if it'll help. Potentially useful info:
Screenshot of my FFF email settings This is minor, as I usually just work on other stuff while it pulls emails, so low priority/impact (for me anyway). edit: I dug into the email and I see RR is using custom links that have to be translated/resolved to actual story urls. That would explain the delay and I can't think of any obvious way to get around it. I think I'll start shuffling those off to a different folder/label and manually calling for updates directly from the existing stories in Calibre. I don't have too many of those anyway.

I think I need to go back to the metadata management for fanfic to try and work out what exactly I need to see in my library and what custom columns I need to create. In preparation, I'm hoping that someone might know how to deal with a situation where an author has several series arcs that all follow each other. When sorting by series, they are not sorted in the arc order, but by series. I would like to see my collection sorted by fandom, author and series, and for the series arcs to be sorted correctly. I don't think that's what the multiseries is for - that's more for one fic belonging to several series, correct? How do I achieve what I need? |

Hello!
Recently, the option to 'update Antology epub' doesn't work on my end, including in cases where it worked before. The error message tells me 'Book isn't an FanFicFare Antology or contains book(s) without valid Story URLs.' My anthologies come exclusively from AO3 series and I know there was an issue recently with the changes AO3 made to paginate those bigger than 20 (?) stories, so I'm guessing the problem comes from here especially since the timeline fit. However, the issue comes with all anthologies I downloaded before you adapted the plugin, not only the bigger ones. When I re-download the stories, it works, so my guess is that the URLs have changed and manually changing them could resolve the problem, but I don't know where those are. Where do I need to modify the URLs so the FFF recognizes my books? Thanks! Edit: Sorry, I was debugging while writing so my post is a bit weirdly written, since I don't have that many anthologies, I hadn't noticed those downloaded recently work without issue.

To the best of recollection, no, series URLs didn't change.
Are you sure you didn't edit/polish/convert/etc the anthology books in question? Do you have one (SFW only please) you could post for me to look at? |

I've included one example (it should be sfw), here is the AO3 link, if needed: https://archiveofourown.org/series/3741151 (removed since I've found the issue) Edit: Now that I think about it, I do convert from epub to epub when I want to change the default generated cover, I'm gonna try and see if it is the issue Edit 2: Yes it was! Thank you! But now that we have established that, does that mean that I can't convert the antologies that I may have to update in the future or is there a way to make it work?

FFF's anthology feature relies on EpubMerge's UnMerge feature, which in turn relies on the epub not changing too much. In this case, not discarding 'unused' metadata files from the individual epubs. Calibre's Convert, while a great tool, rewrites everything. But! You can use Calibre's "Polish book" to update the cover with far less processing and impact. My tests show it doesn't break anthologies. |

Thank you!
I had hoped to find a solution that didn't include re-downloading, but it seems this isn't my lucky day... Have a good day! |
