Slideshow Player: SoFurry support and mixed searches
🕑 Added 2019-05-07 18:24:43 +0000 UTCI've still been putting a lot of work into the Slideshow Player, bringing many new and important changes to the latest version. Here are some of the latest highlights:
The most important addition is support for SoFurry as an image source. I've had its script half-finished for a long time, but the site's API never worked quite well with it at that stage. The latest setup allowed for flawless integration, making it the 4th art website to be supported by the player.
Another key change is the ability to combine multiple independent searches into the same slideshow, which can be separated by the ; symbol. For example: The string "vixen,vore;pony,female" will offer 50% vixen vore results and 50% female pony results, of course offset by the difference in number of results for each item. The amount of requests to the server stays the same as to not increase request flooding: If you have one search pair, the player will request 10 pages for it (10 / 1)... if you have two search pairs, it will request 5 pages for each one (10 / 2)... so on and so forth. There's also a 0.1s delay between requests to further prevent flooding.
A less noticeable change is that the system used to fetch JSON search results has been refractored. There is less reliance on external JSON to JSONP proxies, which are only used as a last resort when a server's cross-origin policy blocks other methods. Where CORS is properly set up, the builtin fetch function is used to download the data directly. Search results have themselves been improved to offer better and more accurate data.
