Hi, I'm using MacOS 10.12.15, Java 1.8.0_131, and Plugin Compendium 1.3 (PC).

I've reinstalled Java and PC.

PC launches OK, but displays no windows. There is a menubar for just the app (no "Windows" menu bar, etc.). In case the window displays off screen, I've tried:

1) Checking if it's on another virtual desktop; it wasn't.
2) Reset screen resolution to force windows to redefault location.
3) Looked at the plist file for PC, nothing mentioned window position or size.

Any suggestions?

Yeah, let's report that v1.3 works just fine on my setup (Linux Mint 17 + OpenJDK).

I just noticed that V1.1 is spelled:
Plugin Compendium.app -- while 1.3 is spelled
PluginCompendium.app (i.e. no space)

Annoying. . .

It seems that AFTER upgrading to Yosemite AND again AFTER upgrading to El Capitan open must re-install Java!

Now running with Java 8-73, and everything appears to work fine.

LPC doesn't update itself.
Unless I'm missing something -- I got the notification from LOTROINTERFACE that Version 1.3 of LOTRO Plugin Compendium (Mac / Linux) was available.
(Interestingly I never got a notification for 1.2.)

So I did a quick launch of 1.1 to let it update... guess what - no LPC update. -- so I guess that's an enhancement request! (Self update capability)

So I downloaded the package -- OOPS Gatekeeper strikes again:
“PluginCompendium.app” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer."

Not a biggie -- just add to the "Read Me" under Mac:
If you get a pop-up from Apple's Gatekeeper stating:
“PluginCompendium.app” can’t be opened because it is from an unidentified developer."
1- Click OK
2- Open -- System Preferences/Security & Privacy
3- In the general tab you should see near the bottom:
"PluginCompendium.app" was blocked from opening because it is not from an identified developer.
and a button "Open Anyway"
Clicking that button will allow it to run, this time and in the future.
4- You will then get another pop-up:
"PluginCompendium.app is an application downloaded from the internet. Are you sure you want to open it?
Click "Open."
=====
All of that said -- I now have to figure out which JRELoaderror is being thrown.

Version 1.1 continues to work fine, but not 1.3

I'm running El Capitan 10.11.3

I apologize. It looks like the updated version I uploaded the other day, had the correct Mac version, but the linux one was missing the security fixes. The copy I had local to my PC was working properly.

Thank you all for reporting the problem.

lunarwtr

It is doing this to me as well. I'll see what I can do.

I'm using:

- Linux Mint 17.2
- OpenJDK Runtime Environment (IcedTea 2.6.4) (7u95-2.6.4-0ubuntu0.14.04.1)
- OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM (build 24.95-b01, mixed mode)
- java version "1.7.0_95"

I can't get PluginCompendium (version 1.2) to work. No matter what plugin I try to install / upgrade, it says: "Unable to install XXX. Please try again later. (it is likely being updated on lotrointerface).

I don't see any error / warning messages on terminal, is there a way to turn on more reporting?

lunarwtr

You are correct. There was a permission error. I uploaded a new version last nigt that is able to download to download w/o getting the 403 error. Please test that if you would. Thanks

magill

This is one of those yes and no situations.

Yes, the API for pluginompendium is working again.

No, the download information for some?many plugins is not correct (i.e. is failing).

I have more than 20 plugins I randomly use and monitor. Some update and some do not.

A good example is Combat Analysis -- it is highlighted to be updated, but generates the 403 error for: . . . download881

I know that this particular Plugin has been moved, reworked, renamed, etc. over time and was just recently updated as I got an email from lotrointerface about CA. I can download it directly from the app page, but not from the compendium.

The question is obviously -- where is this information maintained?
Is it the entry in the file CombatAnalysis.plugincompendium (which shows download881) or is there a lotrointerface permissions issue?

The original data feed is now working once again. Please set it back to http://api.lotrointerace.com/fav/plugincompendium.xml

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.

lunarwtr

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.
