Issue with the books plugin about xdm HOT 17 CLOSED

Parse Error

The xml from Goodreads is not a valid XML .. cant do much about that ... or do you have the api key that is need for goodreads ?

Book information from http://www.goodreads.com/. Get your own developer api key from http://www.goodreads.com/api/keys.

enter it in the settings from the Goodreads provider

In addition, I'm having trouble with the other newznab provider I want to add.

as in a new plugin (you are writing)? if so you are missing

_testConnection.args = ['my_argument_1', 'my_argument_2', 'my_argument_3']

you need to set the "args" you need as a list of strings as a attribute of the function
see https://github.com/lad1337/XDM/blob/master/plugins/indexer/Newznab.py#L125
note: the strings / names must be the same of the config key -> to match them against what is send thru the ajax call

if the above answer was no:
this should not happen ... and there should be something in the log like

function _testConnection needs x

if there is/are no such line(s) there is something wrong i dont know about

from xdm.

Thank you for replying so quickly.

ok, it appears I misunderstood..

I was under the impression that I would be able to install the books
plugin, and I was supposed to enable the goodreads portion for search
results.

I don't have a goodreads API key. Do I need one for this to work?

As for the second bit, all I was trying to do was add another newsnab
source. Is that possible?

I'm looking for a replacement for LazyLibrarian, and this was suggested.

Thanks for your assistance.

yes you need the api key from goodreads. you can get one at http://www.goodreads.com/api/keys ... just create some bogus application information.

As for the second bit, all I was trying to do was add another newsnab
source. Is that possible?

sure just go into settings for the default newznab then enter a name for a new instance (only alphanumeric chars and underscore) and click create new instance

fyi nearly all plugins can have any number of instances with there own configuration

from xdm.

OK, I think I got it running....kinda...

I got the Goodreads API, and that fixed that part of the search

I was also able to put in my own newznab and verified the connection.

But now when I tell XDM to search for a known good book, it says that there
are no search results.

I disabled the default newsnab, and had only my own provider enabled, and
still came back with no results. When I do the search on my own provider,
I get results.

any ideas?

XDM / Books uses the author and the title together as a search query, pretty much what is shown on the page.
Does a search on your provider result in something ? check the categorie setting for books

if that is all set and still nothing have a look at the log file / terminal output and look for the exact url that is used for newznab that should give an idea what XDM is looking for

from xdm.

When I said I was getting search results from my own provider, I meant that
I went to the provider website, used their search tool and found the book I
was looking for. this is how I know that my provider had the book I was
searching for with XDM...sorry if that was unclear.

ok, I changed the category setting from 7000 (detected) to 7020 as
suggested.

Now I'm seeing this:

i thought so thats why i said what XDM is searching for AUTHOR TITLE and i was interested if the same search string on your provider web gui returns books. if so you should look at the terminal and check the url XDM uses for the search

and fyi your image turned out to look like this:

i guess that does not work via mail ^^

I just installed to test, other then having to patch around OrderedDict to install the plugins since I use Python 2.6 on the system I tested with. The plugins installed fine, set the GoodReads API searched for an author "Anne Mcaffrey", Selected one of her books and added it. And it downloaded fine.

I think I'm using Python 2.7

in any case, this is what I'm seeing.

I made sure I would get results using the providers web search tool with
<title>, then plugged in the same book into XDM and I get the

Again, thank all of you for helping me get this running properly.

there is nothing attached ... i dont think attaching images / files in the mail works for the git issue page and i do not get an copy by mail please use the site to upload images #11 (comment)

sorry about that

from xdm.

okay that last thing is my misstake :/
fixed it there is now version 0.3 ... go to the "Manage Plugins" page and look for the Goodreads plugin (either in the top table or in the repo table at the bottom) if there is no update button click "Refresh Repositories" to load new data then a update button for Goodreads should appear... click that ^^ ... this should at least fix the issue in the last picture

from xdm.

ok, updated and now I get the following:

Are there any logs or configs and can provide to make this easier?

from xdm.

Looks like no Indexer is "Run"ing for "Books" or it is but the Indexer is not "Enabeld"

Both must be set, then save.

note: the category might vary, depending on the indexer configuration. but we had that ^^

from xdm.

and now it works!

Thank you so much!

I really appreciate the prompt and thorough help with this.

from xdm.

glad i could help :)
