Use the Reinstall button to rollback the plugin version to the last version. I do not use BiliBili so cannot comment on whether I have the same issue.

[matsumotokenji]

reinstalled and rollbacked to version 13 but same issue, seems like issue due to changes on bilibili site

I tried Bilibili and played a random video and it seems to be working just fine. I am in N. America, not using a VPN.

seems partially some channels back to normal now

edit: in hiccups, fine in a minute and fail in another.

@matsumotokenji do you still have this issue? I'm trying to replicate it but can't. My guess is that it is some kind of rate limiting. Signing into an account should fix it if that's an option for you.

yes, this is not 24hr problem, sometimes cant work on mornrng but fine at evening, sometimes other way around. seems like bilibili may have different themes or api on different time period

and btw casting from bilibili is broken to fcast.

Tried opening this channel for whole week from time to time but I couldn't have replicate it not even once.

[matsumotokenji]

anyway i can help to provide debug information?

[kaidelorenzo]

The problem is that a core API call to Bilibili is failing. It fails while trying to access https://api.bilibili.com/x/space/wbi/acc/info for the given account. I would essentially need you to figure out how to get the API call to work reliably which is too much to ask.

If you can get it to fail consistently perhaps for a specific user it would be helpful if you could send that user and maybe I'll be able to replicate the issue.

In the mean time I'm going to implement a change that will allow the channel to still load the videos even if the API to load channel metadata fails. And I'm enabling login for the request so if you're logged in it will send your login info. Maybe those will help out to some extent.

[matsumotokenji]

thanks, it fails to load regardless i am logged off or on. Maybe this is ip or region specific.

[kaidelorenzo]

i might try to replicate with via a VPN. what general region are you?

[matsumotokenji]

malaysia happens on at least 2 isp, sometimes some channels worked fine and some not, usually fails to work on morning.
