Handling API change

[dousherve]

Hi,

As you might have noticed, the MANGA Plus API recently changed.

I took a look at the source code of the viewer and tried to update response.proto and loader.py accordingly for the title_detailV3 API call only. Keep in mind that other parts of the API also changed, and I didn't thoroughly check whether or not the proto file is fully accurate (it's most likely not), since I couldn't find one in their sources (it's very likely that I just missed it).

I'm very sorry if I made obvious mistakes, or if I missed something else that needs attention. I couldn't sleep and wanted to fix this quickly. I didn't know anything about protobuf, since I could use raw JSON responses in my own code (they don't allow that anymore).

For now, this seems to fix hurlenko/mloader#61.

Sorry i'm kinda new to coding and github, how to apply your modifications to the mloader on my PC ?

Hi, it doesn't seem that the fix was integrated in the main branch, as I see the last changes are still from 3 months ago; when I reinstall mloader (pip install mloader), I still have version 1.1.11 and still same issue with downloading mangas.

@Kanbei-Kikuchiyo This PR hasn't been merged, so that's to be expected.

@CanonGear33 To install the fix, run this command:

$ pip install --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/hurlenko/mloader@refs/pull/62/head

Then run mloader as usual.

@10SecondsToWaste Thank ! i did it but it's still not working... something wrong here ?

[10SecondsToWaste]

@CanonGear33 Try uninstalling mloader first:

$ pip uninstall mloader
$ pip install git+https://github.com/hurlenko/mloader@refs/pull/62/head

[CanonGear33]

@10SecondsToWaste Did it, but still not working ^^" (thx for taking your time to help me btw 🫶 )

[CanonGear33]

@10SecondsToWaste I retried by installing directly with $ pip install git+https://github.com/hurlenko/mloader@refs/pull/62/head and it worked ! I suppose that what you meant haha, thank you ! 🫶

[Kanbei-Kikuchiyo]

Thanks @10SecondsToWaste!

@10SecondsToWaste Thank !

Ahm, sorry, but pip install --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/hurlenko/mloader@refs/pull/62/head does not work anymore... Did you remove the file?

As I am a beginner, let me explain what I did: I just put the code into the command line and pressed "Enter".

This is, what happened:

How do I install "git"? I didn't do it before, when I first installed mloader. So why do I need it now? Sorry for my stupid questions, I am no developer :/

[10SecondsToWaste]

@MariusMedo You can download Git from here. Long story short, pip needs Git to clone the repository; you can also manually download the repository at this specific commit and install from disk, but that would be unnecessarily complicated.

Besides, there's no telling if this will ever happen again. With Git installed, you'll be ready when the next time comes.

Sorry I wasn't available to answer your questions. Thanks a lot @10SecondsToWaste

Thank you for the help @10SecondsToWaste. It worked for me.

The url of @10SecondsToWaste is no longer working, you can enter and encounter the 404 error

So the solution to install

pip install git + [https://github.com/hurlenko/mloader@refs/pull/62/head]()

It is not working anymore and you get this error.

Can someone help me solve this error, soon I will not be able to download certain mangas since Mangaplus only allows the last 3 mangas.

｡ﾟ･ (>﹏<) ･ﾟ｡ Pleaseee (╯︵╰,)

[dousherve]

Hi @DinaValentine,

You need to copy the exact URL: pip install --force-reinstall git+https://github.com/hurlenko/mloader@refs/pull/62/head

Note the + between git and https.

[hurlenko]

@dousherve Thanks for the fix, released in mloader v1.1.12

[DinaValentine]

@hurlenko Thanks the update, all is working

[MariusMedo]

Works for me too now :) This git installation somehow didn't, but I am happy now, as it works perfectly fine after uninstalling 1.1.11 and reinstalling 1.1.12
