Script fails during series parsing #119

Closed GoogleCodeExporter closed 9 years ago

GoogleCodeExporter commented 9 years ago 
DESCRIBE THE PROBLEM:
Recently, I found that script crashes during series look ups.  This seems to 
only happen to fairly large series, like Action or Detective.

Thanks for the bug report. 

This is a recent problem with ComicVine--they've made some change and now when 
they are under heavy load, their server just cuts off the last part of the 
query results for large (many-issue) series.  The scraper is failing because 
the results it is getting back from ComicVine are corrupt and truncated.

I've reported this problem, but as usual, there is no response.

I'm still trying to find some other way around this issue...but until I figure 
something out (or ComicVine fixes their end), about the only thing you can do 
is try to scrape your comics when the ComicVine website isn't so busy (later in 
the evening, or first thing in the morning seems to work.)
