Image Host Grabber

[Hugh Jampton]

I've downloaded the most recent host file I can find ( December 2017 )
pixhost.org was on the list but pixhost.to was not.

I've added pixhost.to as a new host label, selected it from the drop down list ( where it now appears ) and clicked the Add Host button...

BUT,

The Save Changes button is still greyed out and I'm still getting "Request failed!" errors, even with the retry limit set to 48 attempts!

Help!

There is still the not functioning example code in the large textbox. This does always ABORT.
You have to paste the following code in the large textbox (after you have selected pixhost.to):

function(pageData, pageUrl) {
	var retVal = {imgUrl: null, fileName: null, status: "ABORT"};
	// Search for <img ... id="image" ... />
	var iTag = (pageData.match(/<img\b[^>]*?\bid\s*=\s*('|")image\1[^>]*?>/i)||[])[0];
	if (iTag) {
		var iUrl = (iTag.match(/\bsrc\s*=\s*('|")(.*?)\1/i)||[])[2];
		if (iUrl) {
			retVal.imgUrl = iUrl;
			retVal.status = "OK";
			// Get original filename from url
			var iName = (iUrl.match(/\/([^/]*)$/)||[])[1]; // get part after last slash
			iName = iName.replace(/^\d*_/, ""); // remove leading digits
			if (iName) {  // exists and is not empty
				retVal.fileName = iName;
			}
		}
	}
	return retVal;
}

And save. I hope the save button gets enabled after you pasted this...

If the button is still not active:
What version of IHG do you have? I will try to look at the IHG source.



Addendum:
I have found the piece of code responsible for enabling the save button.

• The button starts in disabled state
• every input typing, pasting leads to validation of the state:
• if no host is selected in the listbox on top the button is disabled
• if one of "host label", "url pattern" or "search pattern" is empty the button is disabled

Yay!

What do I need to edit to allow it to work with pixhost.to?


</host>

<host id="pixhost.org">

<urlpattern>^https?:\/\/([^/]+\.)?pixhost\.org\/show\/.+$</urlpattern>
<searchpattern>

function(pageData, pageUrl) {
var retVal = {imgUrl: null, fileName: null, status: "ABORT"};
// Search for <img ... id="image" ... />
var iTag = (pageData.match(/<img\b[^>]*?\bid\s*=\s*('|")image\1[^>]*?>/i)||[])[0];
if (iTag) {
var iUrl = (iTag.match(/\bsrc\s*=\s*('|")(.*?)\1/i)||[])[2];
if (iUrl) {
retVal.imgUrl = iUrl;
retVal.status = "OK";
// Get original filename from url
var iName = (iUrl.match(/\/([^/]*)$/)||[])[1]; // get part after last slash
iName = iName.replace(/^\d*_/, ""); // remove leading digits
if (iName) { // exists and is not empty
retVal.fileName = iName;
}
}
}
return retVal;
}</searchpattern>

You have to change the url pattern:

<urlpattern>^https?:\/\/([^/]+\.)?pixhost\.(org|to)\/show\/.+$</urlpattern>

The trick is the (org|to), meaning org or to.

I love this. Two people describing something in their own words and they don't really know whats going on on the other side. That is why I always try to get the people to show me what exactly they are doing.
Famous Quote: Ah, you are doing it that way! I never thought of that!

Sadly its not possible here...

Now, when I run ImageHost Grabber in thread-sucker mode in Waterfox, whenever IHG is parsing the pages in preparation to the actual image downloading, the last page (no matter which page I select as last) always causes me to get an "unreponsive page script" warning and the whole browser to freeze up. Is anyone else getting this problem, and is there a fix?

I get that unresponsive script message if it is a massive thread suck like more than 100 pages or something, i just choose 'continue' and toggle on the "do the same thing for future unresponsive scripts" and that works out good, the downing starts and finishes as usual.

That doesn't work for me. It just stays stuck forever.

yes, you have to watch your cpu usage, if it is elevated, then the pages are loading, it takes a while sometimes if alot of pages are queue-ing.

If the cpu is flatlining, then that is another story. I use the task manager in windows or the system monitor in linux to monitor the cpu, they are kind of the same thing, just different OSs

It might be that my CPU isn't powerful enough.

However, I don't get this problem at all while using IHG in Pale Moon. It's only while using Waterfox that I get it. I wonder why?

[buttsie]

Palemoon is an older version of FF that has been specifically made for modern CPUs
Theres a lot of baggage in FF to cover all possible operating systems which slows it down
compared to Palemoon.

Waterfox Is Firefox ESR, But With Slower Security Updates
A full service browser made specifically for 64bit computers

Sometimes you have be realistic

Threads full of full HD pic set posts are best downloaded in small batches
if you wish to avoid meltdowns and freezes.
