Receiving 404 Error When Searching Kick Ass Torrents

[ghost]

I have re-enabled Kick Ass Torrents as a search provider, in hoping that it would work with the latest version. It had previously been returning corrupt torrent files (See issue #391 and #408)

However, I did a rescan and I'm seeing the following error in the logs:

WARNING Error fetching data from Kick Ass Torrent: HTTP Error 404: Not Found

I did see that it successfully found one torrent file from Kick Ass, however that torrent file was still corrupt. I'm not sure if these warnings can therefore be ignored, but the corrupt issue still exists.

Thanks for all of your great work on this!

After I updated to the latest version, I'm still getting 404 errors for KAT.

Sorry, my #457 is duplicate with this :/

Im just away from my computer right now but can you check the searcher.py file in the yourheadphonesdir/headphones directory and search for "if headphones.KAT:" line and make sure that url is correct? I might be able to just edit it from the github page

Hi

Maybe this fix it replace "http://www.kat.ph/search/" with "http://www.kat.ph/usearch/".

[SteffanH]

Both give me a 404 message when I try to access them through my browser?
I'll check never the less, but my current guestimate would be that it might have something to do with special characters in the album name. For another album I' m getting

2012-01-26 17:40:49 ERROR Couldn't write Torrent file: [Errno 2] No such file or directory

So I'd assume the search URL would be correct, as it tried downloading (I.e. a result from KAT was returned)...

[edit]
Changed /search/ to /usearch/ and restarted but the error remains

[edit2] edited searcher.py to include url and term, but the generated URL results in an empty page, for example
http://www.kat.ph/usearch/Amy%20Winehouse%20iTunes%20Festival%3A%20London/?field=seeders&rss=1&sorder=desc&categories%5B0%5D=music

Started playing with the URL parameters, and as soon as i add &rss=1 the result is a blank page, with just field=seeders i get a clear 'no results found'

[SteffanH]

Any other suggestions?

I got the same error.

[rembo10]

Does it happen everytime? I was doing some testing and would get a 404
error but randomly so i'm not sure

If you guys are still around can you give the develop branch a try? Think I have this fixed

[achmetinternet]

I updated to Version: 31fc9f59ab7fd1576b21583770f61141093ccb1a now. Let's see.

EDIT: I am getting again this strange message:

A newer version is available. You're 0 commits behind. Update or Close

Highest Quality including Lossless

[rembo10]

It's working fine for me. Dumb question but did you restart headphones
after switching to the dev branch?

Of course. Are we using the same commit? I still got the error happening. Anything that could help?

[rembo10]

What happens when you click on the kat link in the log?

I sent you two logs.

As for the kat "link": there is no link (it is a red line without any hyperlink) equal to the links I get for other search providers.

[AdeHub]

Working for me

[achmetinternet]

So what can I do?

[rembo10]

Can you hit kat from that machine outside of headphones?

Same error here, kat works on browser but not on HP, I tried to read the searcher.py code, and I see that

        params = {
                    "categories[0]": "music",
                    "field": "seeders",
                    "sorder": "desc",
                    "rss": "1"
                  }
        searchURL = providerurl + "/?%s" % urllib.urlencode(params)

But:
catetories no longer exist on kat, only category and is not numeric but is:
Mp3, AAC, Lossless, Transcode, Other Music

A working research on kat is for example that
http://kickass.to/usearch/jamiro%20category%3Amp3/?field=seeders&sorder=desc&rss=1

I tried to modify the code, I don't know if is right, but always 404 error... This is my try

    if headphones.KAT:
        provider = "Kick Ass Torrent"
        providerurl = url_fix("http://kat.ph/usearch/" + term)
        if headphones.PREFERRED_QUALITY == 3 or losslessOnly:
            categories = "7"        #music
            format = "2"             #flac
    test = "flac"
            maxsize = 10000000000
        elif headphones.PREFERRED_QUALITY:
            categories = "7"        #music
            format = "10"            #mp3+flac
    test = "music"
            maxsize = 10000000000
        else:
            categories = "7"        #music
            format = "8"            #mp3
    test = "mp3"
            maxsize = 300000000

        params = {
                    "field=seeders&",
                    "sorder=desc&",
                    "rss=1"
                  }
        searchURL = providerurl + "category:$test" "/?%s" % urllib.urlencode(params)

Any ideas @rembo10 ?

[Jorman]

Btw, I think "I found" the problem, kat works, but with album or result that not have data, for example
Patrice ONE 2010
generate that link that generate a blank page
http://kickass.to/usearch/Patrice%20ONE%202010/?field=seeders&rss=1&sorder=desc&categories%5B0%5D=music

So HP interprets the blank page like a 404 page

make sense?
