(Almost) Every possible plugin is not working after the 4.6 update about search-plugins HOT 37 CLOSED

I have a similar issue here. I'm using Windows x64 version.
I can confirm I successfully used the search engine on 2023 Dec 18, while qBit version should also be 4.6+, and I had python 3.11 and 3.12 installed, but suddenly I lost all plugins and cannot install or use any search plugin anymore today 2023 Dec 26.
I tried revert to 4.5, and also reinstall the python 3.10 which qBit automatically recommends and installs, but both do not help.
Really confusing...

I am now getting this

Just started and all my plugins have disappeared lol

@lohtse

Try manually removing the cpasbien.py plugin from your qBittorrent plugins folder then restart qBittorrent. If that brings back your plugins, try manually installing the latest version of the plugin from here: https://github.com/MarcBresson/cpasbien/raw/master/src/cpasbien.py

from search-plugins.

I am experiencing similar with qb 4.3.9, python 3.8.10, ubuntu 20.04, in that all the search engine plugins disappeared. I can add them back by copying the url and then Install a new one > Web Link > OK, after waiting 30 seconds it will bring all the search engines back, but only until the program exist, when I restart qb then I need to add the search engine again.
I have also noticed that when qb starts, there will be an the gray frame of qb but with black insides that lasts longer than usual like it's having trouble with something.

I have not the slightest idea why, but updating to the latest version of the "cpasbien" unofficial plugin magically made search work again after getting the exact same errors. Found here: https://github.com/MarcBresson/cpasbien

@lohtse don't be an asshole. He was only trying to help. Many other solutions have been proposed here and no one helped me neither, but at least, he suggested something that may solve the problem. Sadly, only devs can fix this.

@Nixflyn updated to the latest version of python. From 3.11.2 to 3.12.1. Thanks.

Meanwhile, we can keep waiting for an official communication or use another alternative and move on.

from search-plugins.

thank god it is not just me!!! Barely finds a damn thing now... yet when I use web based search I find shit loads....

from search-plugins.

I have the same issue. Be good to know which version of python works!

from search-plugins.

Me too, search engine doesn't work anymore.

from search-plugins.

same here. MacOS, 4.6.2, python3.11, was working fine a week or 2 ago.
All plugins just disappeared and I can't seem to be able to add any back, whether from link or local file.

Each and every time I get:

1. a pop up saying 'Plugin is not supported'
2. this error message from CLI

Could not parse Nova search engine capabilities, msg:  Connection error: Not Found
<capabilities>
    <piratebay>

        <url>https://pirateiro.com/</url>
        <categories></categories>
    </pirateiro>
...

Given the few seconds it takes before erroring out, it looks to me that the issue does not come from the software but from some connection that gets refused (wild guess). On top of that it seems cross platform and not version related (from above users).

So my next clue question would be: what is raising this 'Could not parse Nova search engine capabilities, msg: Connection error: Not Found' error?

thxs for the history lesson...but...2 years of BUG means that they maybe abbandoned this search plug ins project BUT up to now more then 2 years later there is really NO replace project at all and this is a real SHAME

nigga this is just what i said. It's a real shame and all that, because the project seems abandoned.

you are very very lucky aren't you...??

Hey, half a year ago I've uploaded all the search engines available in this repository in my own github, because I think it's easier to download them all in 1 click, not copy the link and paste it in the browser for each plugin, 1 download to get them all.

Just in case someone needs them again, ima leave this link here since y'all are having issues with them plugins.

Reinstalling the latest version of Python with "add python.exe to PATH" selected worked for me. Without selecting that I still received errors when using plugins.

This does not help in my case. Still all plugins are not supported.

LOL yeah ok it's not like many of us would have tied that already... It might have worked for you but most it has not.

ANd you are then also ignoring the fact that most folks will not even no how to do as you claimed as they are just general users and it always just worked with out issues.... The problem is the current issue is Program related and needs fixing

from search-plugins.

So sorry for presenting a solution that worked for me. I'll be busy using my plugins without a problem, good luck!

from search-plugins.

I found a work around to my case is to move the plugin folder %LOCALAPPDATA%\qBittorrent\nova3\engines to some other place, and reinstall the inside plugins, then they are recovered... (except 'cpasbien', I fix it as per #263 (comment))
After a system reboot, they might be lost again, I reinstall them again and it seems fixed finally.

I have 2 windows PCs that are affected together recently, so it makes me suspect windows updates.

maybe here someone is laughing at our back...and playing the fool of us...
mainly the devs who have shamely disappeared...

from search-plugins.

@p060477

Two years ago, they announced that the search engine would be replaced by a direct communication with Jackett. There won't be any search engine plugins, but a built-in request with Jackett. See #121
Also #241 was the last issue commented and tagged by devs, no more comments or "visible activity" appears to be from there.
And then this thread, which started in Nov '23. Full of requests to solve the problem and still with no official answer.

Everything indicates that this project if not is already dead, it's only a matter of time.

this worked for me.

Simply manually add this plugin https://github.com/MarcBresson/cpasbien/blob/master/src/cpasbien.py
and they all got restored... no clue what's going on here. I'm running MacOS + 4.6.2 + py311

EDIT: after a couple of days, all plugins disappeared again, and this trick is NOT working anymore

from search-plugins.

I created an issue in the main program github since it seems no one is doing anything about this and we're completely dead until then.

from search-plugins.

For all people facing problems: The searchplugins.qbittorrent.org subodmain has been reworked in the last ~36 hours for the redirects. Can you click "Check for updates" in the search plugin manager? It should work for all people now (hopefully).

this issue led me to install and use jackett - best search torrent I've seen and has many more sites, I wish qB would use it instead of individual python scripts

Dev here. I just tested all the official plugins and they are working. I'm not very active in this project and I can't fix the issues I can't reproduce.

Windows:

• Python 3.10.11
• qBittorrent 4.6.3

Linux:

• Python 3.11.6
• qBittorrent 4.6.2

Was it ever revisited whether or not all of them are working?
