Bug Description / Steps to Reproduce

This bug happens on both the desktop version and the server version.

Every time I attempt to load any manga from the continue reading and discover areas, it gives me this error.

"no results found for this media". it was working perfectly up until the last 2 or so updates.

And when it does load the chapters (rarely) in the sources area, the chapter does not actually load, once clicked on it gives this error.

"invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value" another variant is "invalid character 'Y' looking for beginning of value"

Expected Behavior

No chapters loading from the sources area and changing sources repeats the error

"no results found for this media"

When chapters do load, it gives this error once clicked on.

"invalid character '<' looking for beginning of value"

or

"invalid character 'Y' looking for beginning of value"

I can't reproduce the error on my end with any of the providers.
Can you confirm that it happens with all providers.

the rest have yet to get past the first error.

Try reloading the sources

Well I doubt it's a bug per se, it might be the provider blocking your access or a Cloudflare thing. It's weird that it's happening with all providers but it might resolve itself after some time.

Alright, if it continues in a week or so ill let you know.

I've been testing it for a while now and it still has the same issue. I did reinstall and it didn't fix the issue. The manga titled "Hoegwigeomgaui Seojaga Saneun Beop" seems to bug out more than others. If you search for it on comick it doesn't pop up without using the English title "How to Survive as the B@stard of the Regression Sword Clan". Does this effect to you too or is this only me along with the other issues.

Use manual matching, AniList doesn't list this manga's english title which is why the automatic search fails for ComicK.

I doubt there is the same exact issue with all sources. If the issue is persistent with one source in particular and for all manga, it might mean that you're blocked from their API for some reason. I've not received any other complaints so it doesn't seem to be affecting a lot of people.

Manual match seems to work, but the issue is on many manga even when the title matches with the source, so I need to match the sources on everything I read sadly.

Also is there a way to change the location of downloaded manga? I've only got so much of my boot drive to spare lol.

I doubt that's the case, maybe the titles are similar but don't closely match. You can use the issue recorder button on the settings page to log an example.

Also is there a way to change the location of downloaded manga

https://seanime.rahim.app/docs/manga-download#3-downloaded-chapters

The downloaded chapters will be saved in a directory that is configurable in your [config.toml](https://seanime.rahim.app/docs/config) file (Default is $SEANIME_DATA_DIR/manga)

Note that you should also migrate the existing downloaded folders to the new location
