Encryption Debugging

[Twoure]

What is this?

An attempt to better debug the multiple encryption variations provided by the kiss sites. AFAIK, the kiss sites deal out different encryption code base on country and/or IP filtering. I can only code for what I'm given, as the Kiss sites do not allow VPN connections. Thus, I need a way to see the raw webpages that users are having issues with.

How can I Help?

1. Download and install the latest dev branch
2. Once installed, restart PMS, to ensure the changes take effect
3. Optional: Access -->Cartoon Upgrade<-- from within the Developer Tools. The option will disappear after the channel has successfully upgraded.

Note: 3 can be skipped if concerned about using kimcartoon as temporary cartoon source.

4. Next access the most recent video/comic published from each source and try to play/read them. i.e. for kissanime, open Recent Additions, select the first result, then drill down to the last video available. Important: at the video page, select the Play button. If it cannot play the content, that is fine, but you have to try otherwise the page will not cache properly.

Do the same for the Cartoon, Drama, Comic and Manga sections.
Again make sure to try and play/read the video/comics. If they fail, that means I can work at decrypting them.

5. Once the latest video/comic have been access and played, navigate to the Cache Tools located within the Developer Tools. There is a new Zip Cache function, that will copy the HTTP cache, RKS cache, KissNetwork logs, and system logs into a zip file located within this channels Resources directory. Select Zip Cache and wait for it to reply.
6. Once the zip file generates, reply to this issue with the latest zip file as an attachment and a short description of what sites worked/failed.

Concerns?

• As the HTTP cache is copied into the zip file, I clean the users Public IP (believe kissanime is the only one using user IP in cookies, but still cleaning each site if they exists).
• Users can opt to send me a Private PM in the Plex Forums with the zip file attached.

Notes:

To use this channel's DevTools, you must be the Plex Admin user (i.e. the account that setup your PMS) and enable the DevTools from this channel's preferences (located here).

This Channel's Resources directory can be found within KissNetwork.bundle/Contents/Resources/. The channel will be installed within the PMS Plug-ins directory.

I want to help but whenever I click on Anime, Cartoon or anything else the channel goes directly to the "all" page and I can't go to recent additions. Am I doing something wrong?

Edit: Nevermind I had the simple UI checked but now when I try to zip the cache I get channel is not responding.

A 2nd person getting "channel not responding" when I try to zip the cache. For what it's worth, manga and comics worked fine, but no videos would play.

Before I begin, many thanks for what you bring to the plex community. Your channel has been awesome.

I'm trying to follow the instructions for zipping the cache, but I'm not having any luck. There doesn't seem to be a "Zip Cache" function in Cache Tools.

Did you restart your Plex Media Server (PMS) after downloading and installing the current dev branch?

If so, please reproduce the error, then attach the com.plexapp.plugins.kissnetwork.log and com.plexapp.system.log files in a comment. Log file help here.

Edit: never mind, found the issue for windows users thanks to #53 (comment). Pushed fix to dev branch. Please re-download (or upgrade) and follow the test procedure above.

Sorry, no luck. Still not seeing the Zip Cache.I still see only "reset datacovers" and "reset datahttp".

TL;dr, from WebTools, I "reinstalled with latest available," made sure I had "development" selected in options, and restarted PMS, PlexWebApp and Kiss Network Channel. I still see only "reset datacovers" and "reset datahttp".

Unfortunately, switching to Development does not automatically update the channel. You should get a notification within the channel when there is an update.

However currently you will not, because the internal updater is keyed off of when you locally install the channel. So, if I pushed a dev update before you installed the channel, then the Update button will not show. The assumption, is whatever you initially install will always be the latest. After that, the updater checks github timestamps against the channels local install timestamp. Once a newer commit or release is available, the update button will appear.

i.e. in this instance, you need to manually download and install the dev branch.

All of the different Kiss websites work fine on my browsers, but when it comes to Plex, nothing wants to play.

[Twoure]

@CastleArcade, please follow all the steps above, then attach zip file for debugging.

The Zip Cache button didn't seem to work, so I manually zipped them instead.

DataZip.zip

Neither my Apple TVv3/Plex Connect client or Plex's own Web client displayed where the zip file was located. But I found it manually located at:

/var/lib/plexmediaserver/Library/Application Support/Plex Media Server/Plug-in Support/Data/com.plexapp.plugins.kissnetwork/DataItems/Archives/KissNetwork_cache_20170413-013143.zip

Note: the beginning part of the path may differ based on OS and how Plex's username's home directory is. In my case plex's user's home directory is /var/lib/plexmediaserver. Anyway, it's in the same base directory as the Plug-ins directory is where you need to unzip the download to install this Plex Channel.

Many thanks, Twoure.

side note: still no streaming from Anime or Cartoon, whether server is KissNetwork, Openload, Stream, or Beta.
