[GUI Plugin] FanFicFare

Quick question, I'm using flaresolverr to download from ff.net, and it is not downloading covers, I tried using the same settings (never_make_cover:false, skip_author_cover:false) with the browser cache version and there it works.

Is this the expected behavior or is it some bug?

Known behavior. Flaresolverr can't download images. Some limitation of how flaresolverr is implemented?

Sites that allow images in text sometimes benefit from use_flaresolverr_proxy:directimages but I don't think it helps with ffnet.

Is there some work around I can do to use flaresolverr and still get covers? Like using the browser for covers and the rest it uses proxy?

Manually pasting/polish the covers in and then use_old_cover:false?

Using Browser Cache instead of flaresolverr. See https://github.com/JimmXinu/FanFicFa...oblematicSites

EDIT: So I guess the answer to your actual question is no.

In your personal.ini, is there a space before each entry? It should be:

replace_metadata:
 genre,category,rating=>^G - General Audiences|General Audiences|FR7$=>G

Instead of:

replace_metadata:
genre,category,rating=>^G - General Audiences|General Audiences|FR7$=>G

I don't know from this what isn't working.

Whenever asking for this sort of help, please provide an example story URL and a detailed description of what behavior you are getting vs what you want.

Using [code] tags will preserve the leading whitespace, btw.

The new option include_nonauthor_poster is not working as expected.

With that option set to true I now have all chapters prepended with a "Chapter by ...", even if the poster of a chapter matches the book author. Not just apocrypha chapters.

---

Another issue I just found, is how the plugin downloads the quoted texts inside the post. Here is a link to the post: https://forums.spacebattles.com/thre...#post-62367769

And in the book I see:

Apocrypha - It's Also a Drone
Chapter by: Jadetea

xeivous said:
So she's a drone tinker in the same way that Bakuda is a bomb tinker?

BB is rather lucky she's going for the humor route.

This is your fault
....

The name of the omake author is a link to that user profile (which, I think, is not necessary, but fine). But the second link ("xeivous said:" in this case) is a link to an original post by xeivous which was quoted by Jadetea, it make sense to have that link in the forum. But, definitely, not in epub.

That's my mistake--I left in a bit of testing code that forced it to always appear. Will be fixed in the next test version.

If other users agree with you, I could add additional options to remove those links.

The link in quotes is directly from the site. And has changed sometime in the last few years--my older downloads have the link only on ↑ character.
