SLR Images are getting 403 error prior to ~4/2020

[pops64]

It seems that SLR images being pulled using this format
https://cdn-vr.sexlikereal.com/images/13866/85406_desktop.jpg

creates a 403 error for just the cover scene. When requesting an image in this format
https://cdn-vr.sexlikereal.com/images/13866/vr-porn-Sex-In-Public-on-the-Balcony-cover-app.webp

It pulls that format just fine. I am not sure how XBVR is converting the above format to the one it is using. I found the above by inspecting the webpage and looking for the XBVR formatted link and I couldn't find it. It only happens to the cover scene the rest of the gallery images are just fine. I am not sure if SLR has a bug or what. This also may only effect certain studios. Right now it is just the perVRet family of studios on SLR and VRSolos also on SLR, that I have noticed. The above examples come from https://www.sexlikereal.com/scenes/sex-in-public-on-the-balcony-13866

going to say you may need to force update your scenes? I have that scene and my image is
https://cdn-vr.sexlikereal.com/images/13866/vr-porn-Sex-In-Public-on-the-Balcony-cover-app.jpg

notice .jpg instead of .webp. Also for me that scene is "set for an update", but not updating.

This scene is from "Lenina Crowne" which was pulled from the built-in list of scrapers. so I'm going to say that is why you aren't updating. You would need to create custom site.

Here are all the "studios" that will probably be affected... https://github.com/xbapps/xbvr/pull/1113#issuecomment-1410946462

My example was freshly pulled from version 24 using both a custom and built in scraper.(perVRet, VRsolos are built in. Lenina Crowne is a custom) it effects the underlying SLR scraper for at least a few studios. A change was made to it in #1616

[theRealKLH]

I just scraped VRSolos...

What's the problem again? We aren't "scraping" the webpage.

@theRealKLH your scrape of that scene predates the change to how SLR images are scraped. the slug is still in the URL.

the issue occurs because those perVRt scenes and the LC one have comically small cover images. you can see the artifacts/upscaling in the URL that has the scene slug in it. there is no _desktop image for them, but there is an https://cdn-vr.sexlikereal.com/images/13866/85406_app.jpg

@pops64 it is not all scenes prior to 04/2020, or even a significant amount of them. I have plenty of scenes from before then that I rescraped before making that change, and didn't notice the glitch. it needs an extra catch for those access denied errors to switch to the _app link

[pops64]

Yes. So far the studios that are effected that I have noticed are. perVRet, Lenina Crowne, Babykxtten, VReXtasy, VRSolos and maybe Sins Tho this is hard to tell as I only manually import Sins when the parent site has hidden some of there scenes behind a paywall and I usually pull the SLR site over the VRP site, I have both set for alternates to Sins

Here is a picture from VReXtasy which is a custom made 2 days ago. The only built in scrapers I have noticed are perVRet and VRSolos. It seems this change in naming convention starts around 2/2020 to 4/2020 I have some scenes in February that pull the cover and I have some scenes that don't pull the cover until late march.

But yes an error detection switch would be nice.

ILNSED!

I just tried something and it worked on a full scrape of VRSolos and that LeninaCrowne scene, 0 missing covers. Old scenes get the cover for ants, newer ones with the proper cover get the one they would've anyways.
