Empty output

[ghost]

Lobster doesn't give any sort of output, when a series/movie is searched. Whenever I search something (for eg) lobster breaking bad, it outputs an empty list.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Installed lobster from AUR
2. Run the respective command

Output:

• OS: Arch Linux with KDE (and command used in konsole and yakuake)
• Browser: Firefox
• Version: 3.0.4

Additional context: I came across a closed issue about the same error, but it was said to be due to the website (himovies). But even after using a VPN connection where the website is working, I get the same output.

The server that is hosting the api used by lobster is experiencing downtime since last weekend (since 11th or 12th of February) and no one knows when it will be back up. Meanwhile, you can use a different one, like the one described on #48, by changing the "base=" parameter.

fixed in https://github.com/justchokingaround/lobster/commit/831aa8f41987385fad30e5ee4e382218a61d1c60 example config:

player=mpv
subs_language=English
video_quality=1080
base=https://api.haikei.xyz/movies/flixhq
preferred_server=vidcloud

Yo, thanks for the help, you really made my day

And today the api page from the original url is back and working. I reverted my config file to the previous base url.

Well, 2+ months later and none of the 2 api instances is working. The default one, on consumet.org, leads to a 1020 error (like id did in the past) and the alternative one at haikei.xyz leads to a 420 error. On top of those, a third instance I tried once now leads to a 404 error. These are the bad news.

The good news is that consumet now offers 2 more api endpoints for movie/series watching: tmdb and fmovies. Both of them are undocumented though, as of today.
