HE fails after grabbing release (flaresolverr related?)

[itends]

Did you read the README?

• I have read the README.

Is this an existing issue?

• I confirm this is not a duplicate.

Are hostnames part of this issue?

• No, hostnames are not part of this issue. I am also not asking for any clarification here!

Environment

- Quasarr version: 4.6.1.1
- Last working version: unknown
- Type: [Tested both Docker Desktop and Windows-Exe/]
- OS: [Windows]

Description

When trying to grab any HE relase from interactive search it first shows a succesful grab only to immediately fail after. Other hosts (only quickly tried WX and WD) have no issues.

Raddar history shows:

"Could not find matching source for "REDACTED.2160p.MA.WEB-DL.DDP5.1.Atmos.DV.H.265-BYNDR" - "https://HE.org/REDACTED-imax-2160p-ma-web-dl-ddp5-1-atmos-dv-h-265-byndr-23-2-gb/"

In Quasarr terminal "FlareSolverr: Max attempts reached without success" seems to be related to the issue.

Using flaresolverr-next newest version.

Tried with quasarr exe, regular flaresolverr exe, and with docker desktop quasarr + docker desktop flare-next. Issue remains the same.

I can confirm the same issues since a couple of days

probably caused by a breaking change in recent flaresolverr versions:
2026-07-22 18:19:44 WARNING Request parameter 'headers' was removed in FlareSolverr v2.
iirc HE needs headers

[daddy-cool]

I will look into a fix in the next couple of days

[daddy-cool]

I can't reproduce the header warning, it seems headers work just fine.

What I found however is a captcha:

So HE seems to require Captcha-handling going forward, maybe something for you to look at @rix1337 regarding adding SponsorsHelper

[rix1337]

This will require some manual work.

[rix1337]

Manual HE CAPTCHA handling is ready for beta testing in #430.

Install the beta

Docker

Set the Quasarr image to ghcr.io/rix1337/quasarr:beta, then run:

docker compose pull quasarr
docker compose up -d quasarr

Windows

Stop Quasarr and download the current standalone executable from the beta release. Keep using your existing configuration directory.

Test the manual flow

1. Delete the old failed package from Quasarr, or choose a fresh HE release.
2. Grab an HE release that presents the CAPTCHA.
3. Confirm it moves to the protected/CAPTCHA queue instead of being marked failed.
4. Open Quasarr CAPTCHA page. On first use, install or update HE userscript when prompted.
5. Click Open HE & Get Download Links.
6. Confirm HE page shows only release title and decrypt section. Navigation, screenshots, and other page content should be hidden.
7. Solve CAPTCHA. When download links appear, userscript should send them back to Quasarr automatically, remove release from protected queue, and submit links to JDownloader.
8. Also try HE release without CAPTCHA. Automatic decryption should still work without entering protected queue.

Please report environment used, failed step, whether all expected links reached JDownloader, and Quasarr log from grab through transfer. Do not post Quasarr.ini, API keys, credentials, or other secrets.

[rix1337]

SponsorsHelper work will start only after beta testers confirm the manual HE flow works end to end. Please test the current beta first and report the result.

[daddy-cool]

I tried the beta and it doesn't seem to work.

1. there is no captcha displayed in Quasarr, only the tampermonkey script option
2. after installing the script and clicking the button, HE opens and looks like this:
3. After pressing "View links" the button just disappears, nothing else happens

[rix1337]

Working as intended:

there is no captcha displayed in Quasarr, only the tampermonkey script option

Needs polish

After pressing "View links" the button just disappears, nothing else happens

The user script removes clutter. Since I can’t reproduce the captcha case at all can you please collect and dm some sample htmls or ideally a Proxyman capture of opening and passing the captcha on he?

I’ll adjust the script accordingly. SponsorsHelper is also prepared already but needs this real request log to adjust the implementation instead of guessing.

[daddy-cool]

I can't reproduce it right now either as it never shows me the captcha anymore - that being said, the Tampermonkey code in such a case should at least directly grab the links if there are no captchas.

Or ideally Quasarr would not ask for the user to solve a captcha if there isn't one, so it should only go into captcha mode if the existing code didn't work.

Most likely the captcha only triggers after download links on multiple pages were revealed in quick succession, however I'm just speculating

[rix1337]

The script is even dumber. It just waits for the links, doesn’t care if captcha or not. I should be able to fix this without more info

But for SponsorsHelper I need samples

[rix1337]

The HE userscript issue should be fixed in the new beta. Please install the latest beta, then force-reinstall the HE userscript through Tampermonkey so the cached copy is replaced. After that, retry View links and let me know whether the links are forwarded to Quasarr.
