Storytel: missing data from source

[rominatrix]

Installation method: Github repo

Version:

• Python: 3.11
• Audiobook: latest from repo

Describe the bug
I downloaded an audiobook earlier today. I am trying to do the same for another one (that i've already saved it to my library on the app and I've copied the URL from the web) but the error I'm getting is "Missing data from source". I am able to listen to the audiobook from the app, though.

ERROR: Missing data from source

audiobook-dl is missing data from source. This can happen when you try to
download audiobooks you don't have access too (not logged in or your profile
doesn't have the right permissions), the site has been updated and audiobook-dl
hasn't implemented the new version, or it could be a bug in audiobook-dl.

Same issue for me

[ballaballaballa]

I made a fork and fixed it here if you want it right away: https://github.com/ballaballaballa/audiobook-dl
I've made a pull request so hopefully @jo1gi can implement it.

Hi, first of all, thanks so much for taking the time to do this!

I cloned your fork and installed it but for some reason it's giving me another error that doesn't make much sense since the credentials are still the same

`
$ audiobook-dl --username xxxxxxxxx@xxxxxxxx.com --password xxxxxxxxxx --output-format m4a -d https://www.storytel.com/ar/books/moby-dick-2161847

However, I tried again from the main branch from @jo1gi and it worked (credentials and link) so I'm not sure what's happening.

[ballaballaballa]

That's odd. I've updated the version and user-agent + added status code to the error message. Could you try with my latest commit?

[ballaballaballa]

I've done a lot of other additional updates and improvements if you want to try.

[rominatrix]

Hi! i've just pulled the latest changes and "pip installed" it again. I did not get the same error as before but another one.

The audiobook is on my library and it works when I try to play it.

[rominatrix]

By the way, I've tried with both: the main audiobook-dl and your fork. They are both giving the same error, I've also tried it with other books.

[ballaballaballa]

I think I found the bug and committed a fix. Please test again.

[ballaballaballa]

@rominatrix have you had the time to test?

[rominatrix]

i apologize, i thought i sent the feedback but i guess i didn't. Yes, i pulled from your repo and installed it again however i got another error (which i don't have right now). i was able to get it to work with the main branch from jo1gi's repo. i will try later today to give you a precise error message.
