Major outage - script doesn't work

[Raif1]

Metadata (please complete the following information)
Version: [e.g. 2.0.2]
OS: Gentoo Linux
Shell: Zsh
Anime: Any

Describe the bug
printf: 0x#1: invalid hex number
.local/bin/ani-cli: line 147: warning: command substitution: ignored null byte in input
Episode not released.`
Steps To Reproduce

1. Run `ani-cli '
2. Search any anime.
3. Choose any episode

Expected behavior
The errors should not be present. The episodes are supposed to load.

Screenshots (if applicable; you can just drag the image onto github)

Additional context
I installed mpv, aria2, FFmpeg, and fzf with Emerge, and they were installed system-wide. However, I only installed ani-cli for my user. Could this be the cause of the error I am currently experiencing? Everything worked fine yesterday. But I'm facing the errors now.

i got the same issue i have been tried re install from yay , git clone from git , and use on releases, it all doesn't work

[uzuto]

same error here

da677bd could be used as a short term fix, if we don't figure out how the encryption works quickly enough

[Abhijith021]

same issue
is there anything we can do to solve this issue

[Ngaicode]

Not right now. When a pull request with a fix becomes available I will link it here for testing

I couldn't even search for anime, seems like allanime now sends a request to api.allanime.day instead of the .to domain. The Referer header needs to stay the same though.

Changed the api.${allanime_base} to api.allanime.day in lines 168, 188 and 195 and search works
Selecting an episode still doesn't work though

Having the same issue, ani-cli version 4.4.0

[MMMNB44]

Same issue on windows 11 version 4.4.0 and 4.4.5 sadly.

[woolw]

yep, can't even find any anime

ani-cli version 4.4.5
Arch Linux

[creeperkafasi]

The person behind animdl seems to have figured it out.

This is the function they use for decrypting the new sources

And there seem to be 2 different passwords for # and ## links

I have no idea on how to implement this with bash though.

It's folk, a single guy, please atleast give him credit.

[trueauracoral]

The mastermind behind anime web scraping. Python daddy.

I have created one on bash but it is too slow...

also It won't work in ani-cli as it follows POSIX standard, not bashisms

[ryan-c-dev]

Far from my knowledge to throw out serious suggestions but could it be possible to make the script POSIX compliant and faster using a shell like Dash?

Maybe impossible w/ reliance on bashisms though?

it is posix compliant and it uses /bin/sh, i use dash and it works perfectly fine.

4.4.5 on Arch Linux; no results found

[ryan-c-dev]

4.4.5 on Arch Linux; no results found

it's part of the AUR, not a standard arch linux package (i.e. Pacman -Ss) , no point installing right now though as the script needs to be reworked apparently.

he meant that his current version is not working, you are welcome

[CoolnsX]

Guys there is PR opened please be patient as we test it thoroughly, we are not merging due to 2 reasons :-

1. We all have jobs and are very busy people
2. What if allanime changed the decryption algorithm again as we have gone through that situation when we were scraping gogoanime and they changed their keys more frequently(like everyday), so we don't that state where we merge it and allanime change their encryption/password

[CoolnsX]

It will be merged as soon as we get time.

Same here. Using Linux Mint 21.1 Vera.

it doesn't matter what system you use, the script is broken atm. in the meantime you can use the fix like this, before we merge it into master:

sh <(curl -s "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/pystardust/ani-cli/hex_decryption/ani-cli")

Thank you so much!
