    same problem with archet and zoram

    1. same problem
      can’t download big type image
      only can download manga files
      any solution? can you fix this??

  3. No rest from Pixiv… apparently now only multi-image entries can be downloaded, with single-image entries it tells the mode is “bignew” but nothing is actually downloaded. Seems a fairly new problem (last I used the software was 3 days ago and didn’t notice something like this). I also tested that some single images published on the 12th can still be downloaded, so a switch must have happened in the meantime.

    2. Seems to have happened just a few hours ago. I’ve got a grab that’s been running since last night, and have single images from it up to 09:15 GMT. Everything from that point on is either a multi-image submission or an animation. The single images either return a blank URL, or… register what appears to be the URL of the thumbnail for the next image in the upper navigation bar, oddly enough. Either way, nothing is downloaded.

      1. The problem is that the code is searching for a class=”big” attribute in an tag, and there isn’t one to be found in the page’s source. Instead there’s a unique class=”original-image” attribute in the tag that references the image you want to download.

        I added:

        temp = page.find(‘img’, attrs={‘class’: ‘original-image’})
        if temp is not None:
        return str(temp[‘data-src’])

        to ParseBigImages in PixivModel.py and am running a batch job on a member ID right now. It seems to be working so far, but there might be other changes to PixIV or HTML attributes that need to be captured (since I see Nadaka just added the code to find the class=”big” attribute in the last update).

        And thanks for the batch downloader, Nadaka. I’m new to PixIV but I wouldn’t even try to use it without a tool like this!

        This problem also highlights a bug, since if you have “writeimageinfo = True” in the config.ini, the call to .WriteInfo() in process_image() tries to write the default, unchanged filename “N/A” which causes an exception to be thrown.

    Most of the images are not downloaded.

  7. Actually.. the error I got was slightly different…

    And knowing somebody that works there helps in situations like this.. gives me somebody to yell at “what did you change this time!”

  8. Hello 🙂

          1. u means works@pixiv? Ask him to provide official API doc *wink*

            Anyway, the 47508610 still uses old layout, maybe because this page is still cached on their forward proxy. I’ll update the logic to handle both new and old layout.
