It only shows "Error - No results found"

[jitesh-seth]

Hi

I just installed lobster on Ubuntu 22.04.3. I tried searching for several movies, words, trending, and changed server, but it just shows the same message - Error, no results found. Kindly help me troubleshoot. I am attaching a screenshot of some commands I tried.

[justchokingaround]

can you send a log please, it's in /tmp/lobster.log

[jitesh-seth]

Just has these 3 lines

[justchokingaround]

run lobster -x and search for something first

[jitesh-seth]

On the terminal:

open the lobster config with lobster -e and remove the line base=https://api.haikei.xyz and any other line starts with base=

[jitesh-seth]

Thanks, I tried that. Still the same result.

Config file (after editing):

player=vlc
subs_language=English
video_quality=1080
preferred_server=vidcloud

[justchokingaround]

what does this return you:

curl -s --tlsv1.3 --cipher AES256-SHA256 https://flixhq.to/search/fight-club

?

also remove the preferred_server=vidcloud line

[jitesh-seth]

Removed the preferred_server line.

The curl command just runs for 2-3 minutes and exits without any output. I also tried opening flixhq.to on my laptop browser, it did not open. The website, however, is opening on my mobile browser (which is weird since both are using the same internet source)

[justchokingaround]

try using a vpn or a proxy, maybe something like 1.1.1.1

[RushMaverick]

Did you ever get a solution to this? I am getting this on my side as well, and I can't seem to figure out what is wrong. I am running lobster on Windows 11, but it seems to work just fine on my Macbook.

[justchokingaround]

send a log by running lonster with the -x flag and attaching the file that's in /tmp/lobster.log

I'm getting the same error but on my mac :( I even tried running on hotspot. While the flixhq site seems to open, I keep getting error no results found (when I was on wifi, it was taking way longer to load this message but when I switched to hotspot, the message loaded instantly). The curl command also does not seem to work as --cipher isnt recognised.

Here is my log file -

+ debug=1
+ shift
+ '[' 0 -gt 0 ']'

++ tr ' ' -
++ gsed 's/^-//g'

update lobster lobster -u and install gnused brew install gnused

[sili-gato]

~ λ lobster -u                                                                                                                                          ~
Script is up to date :)
~ λ

Also brew has gnu-sed not gnused. Not sure if that makes a difference.

[justchokingaround]

install gnu-sed then, i forgot the exact package name

[sili-gato]

I even tried just

λ curl https://flixhq.to/search/voice                                                                                                 
curl: (35) Recv failure: Connection reset by peer

It seems the actual problem is this and not lobster itself. (This is on a hotspot. On normal wifi the curl command doesnt seem to work as it keeps loading ig.)

[sili-gato]

FOUND A FIX!!!

Just had to install 1.1.1.1 for it to work :) tysm for the help anyways :)
