Torrentleech not working

[A7HN]

The current noResultsMatcher "No results found" no longer works. I've tried the following locally:

"Found 0 torrents"
"Found<br><b>0</b><br>torrents.".

I also tried experimenting with EL_COUNT. Torrentleech and podnapisi seem to have a similar results page.

Podnapisi.net:

<table class="table table-striped table-hover">
      <tbody><tr class="subtitle-entry" data-href="/en/subtitles/en-dune-part-two-2024/2wpI">

Torrentleech:

<table class="table table-striped table-hover torrents">
	<tbody><tr class="torrent" data-tid="241312895">

But while the following works for podnapisi:

"noResultsMatcher": ["EL_COUNT", "table.table tr.subtitle-entry", "GT", 0],

This doesn't work for torrentleech:

"noResultsMatcher": ["EL_COUNT", "table.table tr.torrent", "GT", 0],

Any advice on how to get this working?

I can't test this as I don't have an account there.

Thus I can only give general directions. Probably the site has changed the result page. The easiest is to use a string for noResultsMatcher. For this to work, look at the result page source. The string has to match exactly against the returned HTML.

• Some pages don't show a message but just an empty table/list. That's what the EL_COUNT workaround is for.
• Some pages use POST requests. That's a different topic. Look at ofdb for an example.
• Some dynamic websites use API calls. Then this extension will not be able to retrieve results unfortunately.

Maybe @Kotaless wants to chime in and is able to resolve this (#63).

Hi. I'm no web dev but have some findings.
"No results found." text can be seen through developer tools, but if I directly display the page source, it's not there.
I also compared page sources of successful and unsuccessful results and they are identical.

There are two java script get requests after performing a search that are just before the html page request. The first script has four "No results found". One of these:

if (total === 0) { torrentsTable = Object(__WEBPACK_IMPORTED_MODULE_0_snabbdom_jsx__["html"])( 'div', { classNames: 'results empty mt-30' }, 'No results found.'

Matches the div class on the results page:

It's a dynamic website.

Some dynamic websites use API calls. Then this extension will not be able to retrieve results unfortunately.

This extension merely retrieves static HTML pages, it doesn't execute any site-specific JS or has knowledge about specific APIs (not unless #9 is resolved).

Thanks for digging into this though.
