WebGrab+Plus/w MDB & REX Postprocess -- version V5.2.2.0
I am running my grabber on a RHEL9 VM machine (Redhat) and recently detected that two siteini's run into an issue.
Site 1)
FLIXED.IO
Issue:
[Error ] error downloading page: The archive entry was compressed using an unsupported compression method.
Site 2)
TVARENASPORT.COM
Issue:
[Error ] error downloading page: Decoder ran into invalid data.
Own observations:
I have tried to switch between compression methods gzip and br. Doesn't help.
I also tried to install brotli package from RHEL9 official RPM upstream source (dnf install brotli). Doesn't help.
Anything that I need to configure for this version or is it a bug?
Aree you sure the version is correct? can you post log and config please
Sure thing, I have blurred out my account details though. Send me a private message if you need more information.
Installation method is to unzip 5.2 version and then v5.2.2 (beta) in the same folder.
EDIT:
V5.2 works, but not 5.2.2 (beta)
I think you have 2 problems:
1. update your user-agent to:
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/80.0.3987.163 Safari/537.36 Edge/18.18362 Firefox/75.0
2. Your flixed.io channel line in config belong to old version of flixed.io.
Please update wg++ and siteini.pack, then create new channel list and it will work see attached. (second is your channel line)
I have done changes as You asked, I have also made two different tests one with version 5.2.1 and one with 5.2.2.
Included are the results of the tests with version numbers. I think there might be some bug or issue with the latest beta release.
Please run in linux: dotnet --list-sdks
if you have:
root@ubuntu:/home/ubuntu/Desktop/.wg++# dotnet --list-sdks
5.0.408 [/usr/share/dotnet/sdk]
6.0.417 [/usr/share/dotnet/sdk]
7.0.404 [/usr/share/dotnet/sdk]
8.0.401 [/usr/share/dotnet/sdk]
If not update to dotnet 8
I only use dotnet-8.0 runtime not any SDK at all.

have you tried other channels? Or is just with those 2 siteini you have the problem?
please also try the one i used https://github.com/SilentButeo2/webgrabplus-siteinipack/blob/master/eval...
Btw I would also install sdk
I tested with the version you suggested V5.2.1.5 and it works. It doesn't matter if I put one or more channels from these two siteini's. I have tried with some others but only these seem to have these issues with the latest beta 5.2.2 version.
I haven't tried to install the SDK, but it should work with only the dotnet8.0-runtime (it has worked for me this far with all other versions).
Good to hear that works.
Same here with the german tvdigital.ini (MinSWversion: V3.2.2.0
* @Revision 7 - [02/03/2023])
With Version 5.2.2.0 i got: error downloading page: Decoder ran into invalid data.
With Version 5.2.1.0 it works fine.
No dot.net SDKs installed
dot.net runtimes: Microsoft.NETCore.App 8.0.8 [/app/dotnet/shared/Microsoft.NETCore.App]
See post #8 Use 5.2.1.5
https://github.com/SilentButeo2/webgrabplus-siteinipack/blob/master/eval...
Works with 5.2.1.5
This issue persists with newest version 5.3 release as well on Linux. Could it be a bug?
I get the following errors still from version 5.2.2+ onward. I have also tried to change compression method from gzip to br with no luck:

Many channels are blocked at 27 sep since then, no update
Yes this is correct, I found a working site on flixed.io but it only works with versions prior to 5.2.2.
Also this one is having issues with the latest version 5.3 (Started from version 5.2.2)
EDIT: Whatever was done with version 5.2.1.5 is working great on Linux. Maybe have a look at the code and compare what changed?

for flixed.io and tvarenasports edit the ini and on the site {xxx} line change compression=gzip to compression=br
works for me on linux.
or..
remove the compression=xxx setting.
compression speeds up downloading.
The latest version 5.3 works when I remove the compression flag completely. My question is if this is expected function or if a bug/issue is introduced starting from version 5.2.2 onward?
