The Issue

I couldn't reproduce the issue with other anime except for the one cited below, dub version has the same problem Senpai ga Uzai Kouhai no Hanashi

I have a problem possible duplicate of #175 and/or #106 . As suggested on the latter issue I added --log-file=debug.log to line 280 of the script and have attached the files to this issue, here are the highlights from those files:

As of 9/12/21 the episodes up to 4 were working but the next day (didn't update ani-cli) it stopped working, I updated ani-cli but it wasn't working still. These errors are present ONLY on episodes below (including) 8 said anime

[   0.045][e][file] Cannot open file '': No such file or directory
[   0.045][e][stream] Failed to open .

As for this error I'm assuming the website isn't getting scraped correctly and no link is retrieved.

These errors are present on the other two episodes (9 and 10)

I'm assuming the URL is not getting scraped correctly since it has "..m3u8" as the extension with two dots(.). [ 1.215][e][stream] Failed to open https://www16.anicdn.stream/astream/0455eee500c6dee7ca2530ecc786f8db/senpai-ga-uzai-kouhai-no-hanashi-episode-9.1638649695..m3u8.

I thought other other ongoing anime would have this problem but it didn't seem like it.

debug_ep8-.log debug_ep9+.log

[Rendevior]

Maybe caused by typos in Script, there must be a specific quality there among those 2 dots (.1080.m3u8) try git pull if it can solve your problem.

I have this same error with the newest version from AUR.

@Dink4n I did check all the "fixes" on issue #139 but nothing worked, and yes I am running the latest version of the master branch, I am 100% sure that your commit is on my file. The fix for "..m3u8" did not work so I added video_url=$(echo $video_url | sed -r 's/\.\./\./g') right before calling for setsid -f $player_fn ... and it worked but only for episodes 9-10.

As for episodes 8 and below here is what I tried:

I attached the modified ani-cli with the echo statements, but basically i just put echo on functions that were extracting video_url and as it seems the first sed statement on the function get_links() is not working as it should:

    video_url=$(curl -s "$embedded_video_url" |
    sed -n -E '
        /^[[:space:]]*sources:/{
        s/.*(https[^'\'']*).*/\1/p
        q
        }
        ')

this is returning nothing.

The output of the modified ani-cli:

Getting data for episode 8

I also had some moderate success with video_url=$(echo $video_url | sed -r 's/\.\./\./g') but there are still episodes not working, like Steins;Gate episode 1.

debug.log

[dconixDev]

@RasmusBertell I checked your debug.log and you had the same error

[   0.023][e][file] Cannot open file '': No such file or directory
[   0.023][e][stream] Failed to open .

as me (for episodes 8 and below), I didn't see this error being mentioned elsewhere and no real solutions are available, someone with REGEX knowledge needs to look at it.

Edit: The video is being played from StreamSB servers and I didn't find a way to get an m3u8 link from them. The URL is sbplay2.com/.... though there is a "download" button so the devs might be able to do something with that.

[dconixDev]

EPISODE 9-10 ISSUE I was looking at the HTML file for the embedded player and I found out that as @TheGlockMisc mentioned there is no quality specified

sources:[{file: 'https://www16.anicdn.stream/astream/0455eee500c6dee7ca2530ecc786f8db/senpai-ga-uzai-kouhai-no-hanashi-episode-9.1638649695.m3u8',label: 'hls P','type' : 'hls'},]

thus outputting the double dotted link at the end "..m3u8"

[Rasmus-Bertell]

Debugging this it seems that some episodes play in an iframe and the script can't handle that, though I'm not entirely sure.

Relevant function is get_links ().

[Dink4n]

Replace the quality selecting code https://github.com/pystardust/ani-cli/blob/1a1909b1f7bced503cd9173e433d9a712eae137c/ani-cli#L125-L128 With

printf '%s' "$video_url"

The video url used to contain all the video qualities

but now it doesn't.
