periscope v142

After installing periscope v142 I get the following messages while try to 
download a subtitle:

ERROR:periscope:Could not generate a cache folder at the home location using 
XDG (freedesktop)
Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/volume1/public/periscope/periscope/periscope.py", line 52, in __init__

The fiel you're using to invoke periscope (downloadSub.py) from 
gathering.tweakers.net, I guess needs to be updated to work with the new 
changes in periscope (needed to support BierDopje).

On line 23:
subdl = periscope.Periscope()

should be updated to look like
subdl = periscope.Periscope(cache_folder="/home/<your_user>/.config/periscope")

You can of course choose to use a different cache folder than the one suggested 
here. Just make sure that the cache_folder exists, that you have write access 
to it and that it doesn't get deleted (don't use /tmp for instance as it is 
cleaned at every reboot).

Could you update this thread to tell me if this works ?
