Unable to download cover and folder images from ComicVine

[McRam]

Hello! I noticed that my Mylar docker is unable to download cover + folder images from Comicvine for newly added series (just noticed this for the first time, so not sure when it really started). See log entries below. I updated my user-agent but that did not fix it. Refresh info on a comic gives the same entries in the log. Docker is the latest version [v0.8.3]. API page of ComicVine looks normal with stats. When I open the link from the log in a browser I get to see the image. So a bit strange this. Any ideas on how to fix this?

This is an issue with ComicVine changing their cloudflare configuration. Image scraping is being blocked. It's being looked at.

Thanks for the update. Will wait and see if it will fix itself in time.

It looked like it was working again for a week or so but looks to be an issue again as this is also happening to me. glad it wasnt just me

Yeah, it looks like it's still not working. I figured out how to manually set it through db modifications but I'm sure evilhero doesn't want everyone mucking around the database, so if this doesn't get fixed on CV's side soon, maybe we can get a cover image field added in the GUI for each series?
