v1.6.1 - The Vlos update, which login and sub your face!

Big changes in this update, not really visually, but internally.

There is a new way to get info about the videos (the old way is still there as a fall back for now) and now it stop failing on some videos with a strange error message about invalid headers.

This version is also login fine as far as I can say, either with username/password or using some cookie values. I haven't tested API login for a while so it may be broken.

The new way of getting info is brand new so some it may not be as reliable as the previous one for now as it change a lot of core things in the tool, so please, if anything goes wrong, give it a second try, I've seen situation where it misbehave then works on the second time.

If it does not work the second time, feel free to open a bug report.

What have changed since the last release:

1.6.1:

• Fix an issue with season numbering,

1.6.0:

• Big changed in page scrapping. It should be more reliable (🤞) than the old way
• Possibility now to choose the subtitles languages, you can specify more than one language, they are used in order of preference (the first, then second, etc...) I would recommend to always have enUS last as it is the most likely to always be available
• [ #100 ] Correct some issue with the config file
• Add some timing to prevent cloudflare to not like us when going to fast fetching pages (you should not try lower than 1s as it is likely to softban you)

1.5.1:

• Fix the cookie login
• cleanup of the login code, should be a bit more maintainable now.
• [ #97 ] the -e parameter should now support format like XXeYY to specify a season number in XX and episode number in YY. Not fully tested so could be buggy. Please report if any issue found using it.
• [ #56 / #93 ] It now should support folder in the name template so you could do Series/Season/Episode. Not fully tested yet

v1.5.0 - The Update that logged again?

Thanks to @Ronserruya we may have a fix (still weird) for the login issue.

It have the drawback that crunchy will relog everytime it is run, but well, it is a step.

So what is new in this release?

Not much:

• It should solve the login problem (#103)
• It fix issues with the series pages (#107)
• All dependencies are up to date, especially CloudScraper, this mean that title or episod name with a at (@) symbol should now work properly!

Regression:

• Crunchy does not stay logged and need to log again every time it is run.

I keep #103 open so if you have any login issue, please add a comment there.

v1.4.6

Nothing new in this release, just update of dependencies.

v1.4.5

Fix release:

• Properly follow redirect now
• Fix code for version checking
• Display a warning when login fail to be more explicit

v1.4.4

Only issue fixing:

• Fix #87 / #90 with missing replacing pipe character under windows
• Fix #92 if version server does not respond the Crunchy was crashing
• Fix #88 Minor issue were Crunchy was crashing when called without command line option and missing batch file
• Fix #94 where the nametmpl was reseted to default on every launch of Crunchy
• Fix #89 where for some interface languages dub season was not properly skipped with --ignore-dubs

v1.4.3

New features:

• Add a new feature to try to cope properly if CR send pages to Crunchy in other languages than English.
  It should fix a couple of issues where it show no episodes albeit being in the proper region when there are geo restrictions.

• bonus with the changes it now support episodes with "OVA" instead of a number

v1.4.1

Minor changes, mostly cosmetic.

Bug fix:

• the backslash "\" character was not properly escaped and could let to issue with windows

Cosmetic:

• The info about potential geo restriction is more clear I think. It also show the message from CR

Other:

• Trying to fix some issues with ffmpeg; but it seems to no me completely fixed, it still stall from unknown reason and I have no way to force it to recover..
• Change a bit the mechanism to get the current published version to use a more stable URL

v1.4.0 - Cookie update

This version fix the main login issue, and bring a couple of new features (form the 1.3.7):

• A new config file, you don't necessarily need to touch it, crunchy create and manage it by itself
• Crunchy now store cookies between run so don't necessarily need to re log between runs
• Add a command line option to unlog
• There is now three way to log to CR. The default is the old one not based on API. If you want to use one of the two other, sorry, I can't really document them (legal reason: CR Kodi plugin had issues because of that)
• Crunchy should report a bit better some errors
• It is now possible to customise the reported user agent
• a new experimental feature to ignore "dub" seasons
• Add a warning if there is an infobox about geo restriction to warn that some episodes could be not available

I've seen that there are still some login error which are not properly reported, I will try to fix that for the next version.

Considering that there are quite a lot of changes, well it may have bug, so if you find any, don't be mad, and please report it using the issue tracker here!

v1.3.7

Couple of small changes:

• Change the default filename template to add the episode title.
• Change and update in the debug output
• Try to make Crunchy more robust to invalid URLs (like missing http:// )

v1.3.6

No new features in this version, mostly change in the debug functionality
Also a fix for a bug with -n
And some under the hood changes for code cleanup.
