I tried substituting that url in the configuration tab, and got the exact same message. This is frustrating! Any other ideas? I am not a tech person, so I struggle with these things.

My guess is they are just doing maintenance or something. The RSS feed by that url doesn't appear to work anymore (perhaps dns isn't configured for the 'api.'? Try using this insead..

I just PM'd Cairenn:

I just ran LPC (Mac/Linux) which I have had installed and been using for ages -- and got an error message, which I believe is an internal LPC message:

Problem while retrieving plugin listing

Server returned HTTP response code 403: for URL: http://api.lotrointerace.com/fav/plugincompendium.xml

A 403 has many different possible causes, not least being simple access issues.

El Capitan -10.11.3

Has this been fixed yet? I am still getting this issue. Or please direct me to the way forward past this.

@Magill re. yosemite

This is actually a stupid bug/restriction that only relates to the java stub/wrapper .app.

If you right click the .app package and show contents, then navigate to:

Contents > Resources > Java

you can double click the .jar file in there and it will run fine on Java 1.8 on Yosemite.

Upgraded to Yosemite OSX 10.10
This (I believe) wipes old Java installations.

Installed the latest Java Platform, Standard Edition (Java SE) 8 directly from Oracle. (SDK and Runtime.)
java -version
java version "1.8.0_25"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_25-b17)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 25.25-b02, mixed mode)

LPC responds with -- requires Legacy Java SE 6 runtime.

All of this is "normal."

It is possible to "fall back" to Java 6, however that is problematic as it is basically "unsecure."
(See: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5559)

Any chance of upgrading LPC to Java 7 or preferrably Java 8?

(The Java 6 download is here: http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1572)

I'm running on a 27 inch 2011 iMac - OSX - 10.9.4

$ java -version
java version "1.7.0_13"
Java(TM) SE Runtime Environment (build 1.7.0_13-b20)
Java HotSpot(TM) 64-Bit Server VM (build 23.7-b01, mixed mode)

Note that Oracle identifies this as Java Version 7 Update 60.

And have not had any problems.

Note that Apple no longer supports or supplies Java.
You have to install java from java.com

Click "Do I have Java" Click "Do I have Java" again
See the Mac FAQ for details.

The mac I used to test this was very old. If I can get my hands on a newer one I'll take a look at it. Is there any insight you can give me into what isn't working? Does it say anything in particular?

Thanks for reporting.

Thonorin

Any chance for a 2013 update? I'd love to have this working on newer macs.

Downloaded, unzipped, and double clicked. Got dialog box with error message:

Problem while retrieving plugin listing
no protocol:

When I click 'OK' the Compendium loads, but everything is blank. Any thoughts?

Hello ! I have download the plugin compendium on my mac and a don't know how to configure it to make it work.
I want to know what I have to do in the Plugin Install Path and in the Plugin Download to make it work please !

An interesting happening.

I updated CombatAnalysis earlier this evening -- apparently successfully.

I wasn't paying attention to what I was doing and did it again... got a weird error and the entry disappeared from the "installed Plugins" list. (but the plugin itself was still in the Plugins folder.)

Scan doesn't pick it up again.

But when I go to add new plugins and check Conbat analysis, then add; It is reinstalled and re-appeares in the installed list.

The problem is I have no idea what that first error was and subsequent updates of Combat Analysis all worked normally.

Really weird.

In the folder I keep the down loads in, I find two Combat analysis files:

1356139710-CombatAnalysisZip.zip time stamp matches my first upgrade attempt.
and
CombatAnalysisZip.zip with a created stamp of my second attempt but a modified time stamp of 10 minutes later. (When I did the update a third time.)

Thanks Magill. Gotta love a company that if you don't go through them and their signing process, will tell people that your app is corrupt and needs trashed. Brilliant.

magill

This is Apple's "Gatekeeper" causing the issue.

Responding to Magill:

Wow, I thank you for taking the time to respond with a lot of information. And I finally found the ~/Library/Application Support/com.turbine.lotroclient/ folder.

I am certainly not the most computer savvy, but once i found the directory, I was able through trial and error to figure out where to put a plugin manually that would actually show up in the Lotro "Manage Plugins" section and actually work.
I had to create a Plugins folder in the above stated directory (so i created ~/Library/Application Support/com.turbine.lotroclient/Plugins), place the unzipped plugin in it and then it worked! I placed the directory you mentioned in the compendium and it worked as well.

Thank you,

Also thank you for your response in http://www.lotrointerface.com/forums...ead.php?t=1951
