Sharingmatrix and hotfile

FRD version: 0.83u1

Plugin versions:
Hotfile: 0.6.14
Sharingmatrix: 0.6.8

Error messages:
Hotfile: No string between 'challenge: " and ';" was found
Sharingmatrix: No string between 'hash:" and "" was found

Other notes:
Hotfile has been acting up lately, I'm guessing they just made some changes or whatever, but the download timer counts down and then returns that error in the est. time column
Sharingmatrix asks for me to enter the captcha, and after I enter it it returns the error.

Test links:
Hotfile: NatGeo Megafactories
Sharingmatrix: The blood of heroes

It's an easy fix. I just downloaded the source and fixed the plugin on my copy, and rebuilt the plugin, now hotfile works for me.

recaptcha changed their strings, the fix will have to be made in all plugins that use recaptcha.

I only changed and tested hotfile on my PC. other plugins that use recaptcha will likely need to change too.

I attached the new frp file: in your plugins directory, backup the old hotfile.frp and replace it with this one.
Also attached the diff file.

Warning: download the frp from this attachment only if you like living on the edge and taking risks. Otherwise, wait for the official update from the devs. You do not know me. You cannot trust my frp.

That being said, how can I join the team, I am happy to keep the plugins updated :)

cheers!

note: sharing matrix is a different problem, doesn't always happen, and is harder to reproduce. I have seen this error too, but not always.

I am looking at it now.

Contact Vity and show your skills.

Thankyou codeboy2k. I've tested this and now no more error message.

I joined the forum specifically to thankyou for this fix and I hope the devs do get in touch with you to help them with plugins

You're welcome RabidKiller. I joined the forum today specifically to share this fix :)

re: sharingmatrix.. I think I have a fix now and I am testing it overnight. I won't know until tomorrow.

sharing matrix sucks. makes you wait 45 minutes between downloads makes my tests go slowwwwww.

I have it downloading now, got past the easy "no string between" error the OP listed, but at the end of the download, after getting 100% it does not rename the part file and gets a download error... I don't know why. At this point, it's out of the plugin already and in the webclient libraries. I am tracing it to see why it fails after 100%. Should have a fix today.

ok. Fix for sharingmatrix attached.

diff is attached. Vity or ntoskrnl will have to review it and apply it.

The devs also need to apply the hotfile patch in this thread, it's not in svn and has not been pushed out.

-- Cheers!

OK I released the SharingMatrix update.

Thanks again codeboy2k.

I just downloaded the updated plugins and saw your name credited to sharingmatrix plugin.

Whilst it is not my place to do so, as I'm just a user of FRD, I'd like to "unofficially" welcome you to the "dev team". I'm sure there are many like me who appreciate your effort.
