Not sure if there is some breaking change after last TubeArchivist (v0.4.10) update, but it's extension v0.3.2 stopped working and shows "Can't connect to server".

Going directly to the url http://<local-ip>:8888/api/ping/ answers with HTTP 200, pong and version, but extension can't make it.

Please see attached screenshot of extension's worker

  • Revoking old and adding new API Key doesn't help
  • Unchecking/checking "Sync YouTube cookies" doesn't help

I would like to emphasize this worked without issues for weeks before last update.

@bbilly1 please let me know if I can/should do some other debugging/logging that would be helpful.

There were no changes in v0.4.10, that was only a bump for yt-dlp. So if there were any changes, it was on your end.

You can get more logs and return statements by inspecting the background process, see Readme.

Thanks for the comment @bbilly1 but there is nothing in the Readme about logs or background process besides what I already showed on the screenshot above. Could you please be a bit more specific. I didn't make any change, but for some reason extension can't connect to the service any more rendering errors:

Please don't @ people, that creates unnecessary spam. Go to the Readme and search for background.js.

I understand you are doing this for free and appreciate effort, didn't want to push, but I believe I was asking in a kind and polite way for the hint.
This attitude comes from you pretty often lately and I hope whatever bothers you it goes away and wish you get well soon.
