tkhobbes Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 Karma: 0	Using the latest YACReaderLibrary on MacOS, I wasn't using for a few weeks, but now since 2-3 days working on finalizing my library.... however whenever I try to get tags from comicvine, I get an "unknown error" - I do have an API key entered, I really don't know what the problem is (I even installed the ReaderLibrary program again over the old one, didn't help..) any hints?

There is fix for this without the need of a new release.

Step 1: add COMIC_VINE_BASE_URL entry to your YACReaderLibrary.ini config file

[ComicVine]
COMIC_VINE_API_KEY=your_api_key
COMIC_VINE_BASE_URL=https://comicvine.gamespot.com/api

YACReaderLibrary.ini can be found in these locations

macos

/Users/yourusername/Library/Application\ Support/YACReader/YACReaderLibrary/YACReaderLibrary.ini

windows

C:\Users\yourusername\AppData\Local\YACReader\YACReaderLibrary\YACReaderLibrary.ini

linux

it depends on your distro, it should be in your home directory

Step 2: only for windows, download openssl binaries zip, extract it and put libeay32.dll[/] and ssleay32.dll in YACReader's installation folder.
indy.fulgan.com/SSL/openssl-1.0.2k-i386-win32.zip

Step 3: delete COMIC_VINE_BASE_URL entry when a new release of YACReader will be released.

neurohacked Offline Fresh Boarder Posts: 2 Thank you received: 1 Karma: 0	So, I left in the original API Key: COMIC_VINE_API_KEY= and just added the BASE_URL. So: [ComicVine] COMIC_VINE_API_KEY= COMIC_VINE_BASE_URL=https://comicvine.gamespot.com/api and now it works.
