Application terminates without downloading anything

[AndreMareno]

Hello,

the "Zinigo_Windows_x86.exe" application terminates without downloading anything. Is there any chance for an update?

Thank you so much in advance.

HI @AndreMareno can you provide any more details? Have you setup the config.json? Does the program output anything around managing to login/try to fetch the library?

[AndreMareno]

Hi, to be honest: I just downloaded the Zinigo_Windows_x86.exe (I use a Windows 7 computer), I did a double click on the exe and than I see: Getting Login, Got Login, Fetching Library, Fetching page: 1 then there are two lines of text that I can't read because the program terminates than instantly. Thank you so much for your help.

same here. It had been working beautifully for a month. Then today it gets to "fetching page 1" and closes out

Hi, same in my case, worked fine till now. The output is this:

GettingLogin
GotLogin
Fetching Library
Fetching page:1
{"status":false,"error":{"message":"Invalid Json Web Token in AsyncMiddleware","internal_code":"INVALID_TOKEN"}}
Terminating the application...

That's all. Thanks for your help.

Just took a look, they have changed the structure of the login request. I have got a locally-working POC - will try to clean it up and push an update this weekend.

They also now return an error when the device limit is reached...and I have reached my device limit. I had a quick peak at how they're doing device ID resolution...and I havent found a fool-proof way to do it yet. One thing we can do is try to keep a consistent ID so its easy to not exhaust them. (There is a bit of chat in another issue about this)

From what I've seen, they need also the email here, in this json: https://github.com/TheAxeDude/ZiniGo/blob/master/ZiniGo/main.go#L281

{'status': False, 'error': {'message': 'There have been validation errors: Invalid value: email = undefined', 'internal_code': 'INVALID_PARAMS'}}

I think this is a very recent change, in the past 2-3 days.

Really appreciate your work on this - did you have a chance yet to push the updates? I'd be happy to test the windows version

[TheAxeDude]

Just pushed some updates! I havent had a chance to test them on a non-Apple Silicon device, so please let me know if there are issues!

hate to bother you more, but I downloaded the new .exe and now I get an error that says "The app can't run on your PC"

Just recompiled, getting {"status":false,"error":{"message":"Invalid Json Web Token in AsyncMiddleware","internal_code":"INVALID_TOKEN"}}
Different error but same cause?
Running on Linux (AMD64)

I'm afraid I'll have to confirm the same problem. I tried both the 32bit and 64bit versions for Windows on my Windows 11 PC. Both are not executed with the message, they are not compatible with Windows 64bit operating system. I tried setting them to Windows 7 compatibility mode - no change.

Looking at the first characters in the file I could imagine, they were compiled for a different platform?

I think there's something weird when building for Windows on macOS. Ive just tried building from my win machine, and it works fine.

However, theres a new issue - they've changed the structure of another endpoint - the one where we pull the pages from. I think in the long-run it'll make it easier to get original PDFs, but I am going to need to dig in a bit further. Ill push the new windows builds, but they wont be of much use Im afraid.

[BlackB846]

As you stated - binary for windows (64bit version) starts and downloads the list of magazines but terminates when trying to download the first magazine (panic: runtime error: index out of range [0] with length 0).

Thanks for your support.

[TheAxeDude]

New version uploaded - seems we can now pull the PDFs directly. Testers needed!

Thanks! It's about 50/50 for me now. Some magazines are working perfectly. Others I am getting this error

".retrying after error: pdfcpu: please provide the correct password
Removing extra pages failed with pdfcpu: please provide the correct password"

This is using the win86 version
