Error loading items

Hello! Recently I downloaded the version 4.0.8 to fetch data from Youtube for student purposes, but every time I try to acces Facepager this message shows up, and I can't do anything in the app What should I do?

Hi!

Sounds like you have corrupted presets or api definitions. Those are located in the folder C:\Users\<your username>\Facepager. Could you try to delete (or rename) the complete folder and then start Facepager? The default presets should be automatically downloaded at startup.

I think I found the problem and updated some preset files, should work without reinstalling. (but will be definitely fixed in the next release)

The presets on Facepager 4.2 worked as expected the first day. But after restarting I got an 'Error downloading default presets' error, even after reinstalling Facepager. Do you have any suggestions? I can still download the default custom table columns, such as type.

Hi, this error usually occurs if a) there is no stable internet connection at startup or b) GitHub ist not available.

Can you manually check whether https://raw.githubusercontent.com/strohne/Facepager/master/presets/Twitter-Get_list_of_followers.3_9.json is available and the start Facepager? Still getting errors?

Hi Jakob,

It is working today at the university! I tried shutting down several times yesterday, and we don't usually have trouble with the internet at the university. But it looks as if doing something else was the right thing to do.

Thanks for replying so quickly. Matthew

I clicked on your link and got the below.

{ "description": "Add user names as nodes (without the @). This preset fetches you 10 pages with 100 followers each at maximum.\n\nEach user has a numeric ID as well. In case you want to work with the numeric ID change the parameter \"screen_name\" to \"user_id\". You can get the user ID with the preset \"Get information about users\". Select the result and fetch the data with this preset again.\n\nFor more information see the reference: https://developer.twitter.com/en/docs/accounts-and-users/follow-search-get-users/api-reference/get-followers-list.", "module": "Twitter", "speed": 200, "options": { "params": { "count": "100", "screen_name": "

Thanks for testing out. Once the presets are downloaded, usually everything should work even if the updates are not loaded. I think I will disable automatic updates in future versions since GitHub sometimes has problems delivering the files.

Hi I get a similar but different error, and I have tried it on multiple different networks now. I have also tried deleting the FacePager folder and reinstalling the .exe

I believe there is something wrong with my SSL certificate, but i do not know what, please help

Hi! I think this is a different issue, moved your comment to a new issue.
