[ISSUE] App crashes when trying to get video element (APP CANNOT BE USED)

[HaruNashii]

the app crashes when get into the line 80 of the file "src/cli/get_video_url.rs", line in question is : driver.wait().for_element(Locator::Css("video")).await?;

the error is called "WaitTimeOut", probably it happens because some change in the website.
for my understanding the "fantoccini" is not being able to locate the element "video" in to the "css" off the website

be warned that the Rust error log doesn't show that this specific line is given an error on that specific file, but you can prove it putting a println!("stops here?"); on the line 79 of that file to get a better understand where the app is crashing.

unfortunately i lack the knowledge to make a PR for this issue, sorry :(

-- off-topic
also a little fact that doesn't seem to affect the app functionality is that the url passed to the client "https://vizer.in" seems to be just a redirect to the original site "https://novizer.com/", but the app has no problem with it

Thanks for addressing the issue, I will see what I can do about it

thx, also if it helps you, i was using the "Geckodriver", i don't think that this is linked with the issue by any means, but i'm not entirely sure :/

I just want to give you an update on what I know about the error so far.

I found out that the error that you get when using geckodriver is that the app can't retrieve the url of the video because of the ads that are blocking it.
I've also discovered that, when using chromedriver, the video can't be played by either VLC or MPV due to a forbidden error it receives when accessing the video url. This error doesn't happen in the browser.

I will continue to investigate the forbidden error before fixing the geckodriver problem, but if you could test the forbidden error, that would be very helpful!

Strange, just now I tested Chromedriver on two different devices and both gave me the same error when selecting media, I tried several times and tried to kill Chromedriver several times but nothing fixed it :(

the app doesn't even pass the first page, when i click the anime/serie or movie that i want to watch the app crashes

the error occur in line 39 on the file "src/driver/start_driver.rs", the line in question is :

also i tried smth different in my "DEVICE 2" running "cargo update", building the app again and running, and i receive one different error doing the same action, the error is:

thread 'main' panicked at src/driver/start_driver.rs:43:14:
failed to connect to WebDriver: FailedC(hyper_util::client::legacy::Error(Connect, ConnectError("tcp connect error", Os { code: 111, kind: ConnectionRefused, message: "Connection refused" })))

the error occur in the same line, it just gives a different error message, also i tried rebooting the device multiple times and killing the Chromedriver, and it doesn't helped

That error occurs because chromedriver is starting on a different port than 9515. I will make a quick fix.

Done.

This issue will probably take a few weeks to resolve due to university stuff.
Sorry for the inconvenience.
