Hi guys. Seeing as so many variables are still moving and continue to hang up in the air, it appears my plans have, briefly, been somewhat upended.

My retirement in under a day needs to be put on hold. The plan is until the end of this week. That should give enough time to see where things have settled and what the final state of Fen Light will be.

Again, due to the current situation, updates are coming thick and fast with both Fen/Light and Umbrella. I don't think this is really avoidable, so I have re-enabled the Update Manager in Fen Light on the next update (2.0.04 NOW LIVE). In doing this, I decided to keep it enabled for when I retire, and I have added settings for you to enter a github username and a github repo address. These settings are for if someone wishes to do some development of Fen Light and you want to receive their updates. You can enter their username and the name of the repo and Fen Light will look for updates in that new location. The dev will need to structure their repo so as it matches the code within updater.py. AD is also fixed.

Fen will also receive an update (3.5.02 NOW LIVE). This update includes fixes to pack browsing/downloading and a sequential playback fix previously only applied to Fen Light. You guys need to thank TWILIGHTMERCY for porting these changes over. I also added the fixes for Parental Guide and Reviews for Fen's Extras menu. AD is also fixed.

A list of the changes...

FEN LIGHT:

FEN:

Since the Update Manager has been re-enabled in Fen Light, there is not going to be a reason to post an Information Issue like this for every update moving forward, unless specifically necessary. There will likely be 2 or 3 updates in the coming days, and then I can retire. :)

EDIT: I forgot.... because I'll be keeping the Update Manager enabled, I will not be able to completely delete this Github account. It opens users up to being susceptible to an imposter opening a Github account with my name, and pushing an update that could be dangerous.

So the repo can be deleted, but not the entire github account.

How to update on fen? Trying zip install doesn't work Thanks

Tikipeter commented 3 days ago

I just tested and the zip install is working fine.

Bangtedd commented 3 days ago

I Might doing it wrong, but it install fen light, not the other fen

Tikipeter commented 3 days ago

Yep, you're doing it wrong then.

You need to download the zip from this github, and then install from zip using that. Or try Fen Light, you might like it better.

Bangtedd commented 3 days ago

Got it, will try fen light on this one, thank you for your support! 10/10 for fast customer service.

keensta commented 3 days ago

Does this potentially mean we might seen more apis added as a alternative to the only 2 fully operating services? Not counting RD still semi working

Also to add your still a legend as always

Tikipeter commented 3 days ago

RD, PM, AD, EN.

Not sure what others could be added. DL resides in France and has crippled their API just like the other French services.

simonsmith commented 3 days ago

Appreciate your efforts on this @Tikipeter!

I am still using the original Fen and saw with interest that your updates were ported to it.

Can I install plugin.video.fen-3.5.02.zip directly from here? I note that https://tikipeter.github.io/packages/ only exposes plugin.video.fenlight-2.0.04.zip via the index.html and so that is all that is shown to me in the Kodi UI when adding a source and installing from zip.

Thanks

Glad you said this, I had just come to ask you to make sure you don't delete your git for this reason :D

Sorry maybe I've misunderstood the whole RD and AD problem I assumed with everything happening there lifespans as potentially services that addons like Fen lite and similar use were/are coming to a potential end. I thought with there crackdown potentially films and TV shows will disappear and no longer cache again.

Leaving only two services.

mosestyle commented 3 days ago

Love you!

Hopefully Torbox or other Debrid services will be added due to all this RD, AD drama.

Other than that, did I mention that we all love you?🤪

EasyDebrid, and to a lesser extent, Offcloud as a backup. Kodifitzwell has integrated both into POV - some of his code may be usable for FL. It appears that ED, while newer, has some kind of partnership with PM and has what has been described as a 'huge' cache. $40 for a year. I'll grab it if FL is going to support it, otherwise I'm sticking with PM and EN for the time being.

Edit: There seems to be some question about ED's legitimacy from the ElfHosted team (I have no experience with Elfhosted). I first heard of it today when I saw Kodifitzwell's post about supporting it (I have respect for his observations and am hoping he posts additional information). I'd be curious as to anyone's experience with this new service.
