ofdb.de plugin not working
I just installed gcstar 1.7.1 on arch via AUR. But the ofdb.de plugin always throws out "element not found" (while imdb is working).
Can anyone give me a hint to get the plugin working?
Thanks

Re: ofdb.de plugin not working
Some web sites are migrating to TLS/HTTPS and some other GCstar plugins stopped working because of that.
Tian has recently made some changes in the official GCstar repository http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/gcstar/ that could fix the problem.
I did tsimilar evolutions on my Gitlab repository where I try to follow the latest version of the plugins. Using that, I got results from OFdb (no picture though).
In both case, if you download an archive of the source files, you should copy the lib/gcstar directory where GCstar was installed (most probably /usr/lib/gcstar).
Hope this helps.

Hi kerenoc, thanks for you reply!
I will check out the repositories and report back. Maybe this also helps other users.

Re: ofdb.de plugin not working
1. used /lib from http://svn.gna.org/viewcvs/gcstar/: gstar wouldn't start at all
2. used /lib from https://gitlab.com/Kerenoc/GCstar/tree/Test: no difference, could not find element
any suggestions?

Re: ofdb.de plugin not working
Hello
I checked the Test version from GitLab on an Ubuntu distribution. OFDb is able to get some information from the site including covers and synopsis after the changes I made to the plugin.
Maybe extract the version in a clean directory, go to "gcstar/bin" and try to launch "perl gcstar".

Re: ofdb.de plugin not working
Did a clean install manually from gitlab/test, now ofdb works! Thank you!

Should you have a problem using GCstar, you can open a bug report or request some support on GCstar forums.
