Apologies for the brief slowdown, still trying to backfill some things~
Edit: I do know that it’s continuining.. i’m trying to stop all processes but must say, a bit confused.
Edit 2: Ugh, I’m really sorry y’all, I know it’s so slow.. I’m not sure what’s going on..
Ok! I added another two web servers and it seems to have helped the issue for the time being.. will need to investigate more soon. But, tomorrow for me~
It’s a real shame Amazon doesn’t provide the name of the book without all the nonsense at the end in parentheses.
I fetched 勇者パーティーにかわいい子がいたので、告白してみた。 S1 | L25?? from TMDB and “episodes populating“ does not stop, the progress update tab does not show the correct number of episode (0 instead of 1), so logging on the dashboard does unfortunately not work.
Here a second one with the same symptoms: 転生したらドラゴンの卵だった～最強以外目指さねぇ～ S1 | L30?? and a third one: 人外教室の人間嫌い教師 S1 | L25??.
Searching videos on iPad, Safari does no longer work properly.
The search string vanishes before I finish typing, and then the system tries to find something with up to the characters I could enter till then, which most of the time yields nothing, as e.g. there was no time yet to change hiragana in kanji or katakana.
I have to enter the title somewhere else and copy paste it into the video search field to make it work.
Congratulations @eefara @Naphthalene @monace & @mitrac ! This forum is been a great asset to me and I am excited to see how these four will do as moderators in the future. Honestly, it’s quite amazing that @brandon has been able to handle not only the forum but also the main site all on his own so far. Super excited to see these four helping out!
did this impact the “sync” ing button?
put something to sync earlier this afternoon but … zilch… (prior to the bug fix it would just error almost immediately).
tried clicking sync again will check later but wasn’t sure if it’s a bug or series issue or anything not a huge issue but if it is a “new” bug figured i’d mention it.
@brandon I’m getting the “Issues with our servers” error when trying to add a book again. The book is this one.
Unfortunately, we have some issues with amazon.es & amazon.de - we’ve been request limited due to low sales. I’m in the process of trying to fix up my async, non-api-access process but it’s a little more intensive. Hopefully fixed by the end of the weekend!
Since the resolution of the server issues & my reinstatement of certain async processes… I think all these tmdb issues should be resolved!
I’ve noticed a number of the TV series that previously had issues have been fixed in the past week or so 
super happy for the fixes, thank you!!
The book & video search on mobile are both acting fritzy. It does the “search as you type” behavior (normal), and then after a short delay it treats it as if I pressed the enter button at the end. At that point the search query also disappears from the input box - which makes it really hard to modify or correct what you’re typing
That last part is really disorienting. I don’t think it normally does that; or if it does, there’s something really off (delayed) about the timing rn I think. Maybe what’s happening is it’s treating each input as if I pressed the enter button? Meaning it is seemingly triggering a full page load, rather than just rendering the results portion
Yes, this bug is known and is a pain! Top priority along with fixing the book additions for es & de~~
Very low-priority visual issue, but in the Skips section of the Gradings page, the word “with” is spaced incorrectly and merges with the name of the item before it:
How is everything going with Amazon? I noticed Spanish books can now be added, but with a delay, so we can’t see the book’s page right away
The delay might be result of either or a mix of two things:
Brandon switched to scrapping from using the API, or is using the API with a ratelimit.
The books don’t immediately appear because they have to be approved by a moderator/librarian.
I just realized that the series 薬屋のひとりごと is broken, with the first 11 volumes being duplicated.
I just requested a sync, in case it fixes the problem, but I thought of mentioning it here in case it doesn’t
Yeah this is what i’ve been working on this week, hopefully fully pushed out today!
You can request new books to be added but the process for adding the books should be coming online today. Basically, I need to run an asynchrounous processes with scraping to populate the data since we aren’t approved Amazon affiliates for Spanish.
The good news is that we will be able to add basically any Amazon for other languages (like French) once we get that online 
this would be grand!

. Hopefully this will help these languages grow more sustainably.In other news, I ‘ve chatted with a lot of wonderful people this week regarding collaboration, thank you all! I’m going to decide who I’m going to bring by the end of January. The plan is to onboard 2 major contributors. I will still be working too.
If there’s anyone else who’s interested, please let me know this week!
