I've been using the following code for 
[www.fanfiction.net:epub]
default_cover_image:file:///C:/Users/Blocked/Pictures/Cover Art/Books.jpg
to input a default cover image if none is there by the author. It used to work fine until some time ago. I know the file path is correct because this works correct for SB, and SV, just not for FFN. For the past few weeks, downloading FFN stories without author provided cover image gives me the Summary page instead of Books.jpg. Any help?

Ah. Yeah, I didn't figure out right away when I released v3.29. Sorry
about that.

What happened is that for ffnet to download, we use cloudscraper now,
which is based on requests, which doesn't include a way to download
file:/// URLs by default.

There are test versions posted that correct that. I haven't seen any
problems with them yet, but they do contain a lot of new code.
Otherwise, you'll need to wait for the next version release.

I've posted a test version of the plugin here:

Test version of CLI for pip install: You'll have to get it from the
testpypi repository. This works for me on Debian:

> pip install --extra-index-url https://testpypi.python.org/pypi
--upgrade FanFicFare

FYI, the plugin and CLI test versions aren't the same version right now
for reasons, but both contain the file:/// fix.
