for complied bot, if i set run as administrator on win 10, it runs ok, but on win2016 , the browser will not launch properly, any solution?
I heard from some people that they had to install a couple of additional components.
Like Desktop Experience. Which is a server feature if I remember correctly?
Maybe you also need some .net and c++ packages? Someone wrote something about running ubot on a server os here in the forum. But it's been a while ago already.

today it suddenly can not play the song from Spotify.com in the exbrowser chrome browser, it shows "An error occurred", does it detect exbrowser? can anyone help me out with this, thanks!!
Hi.
In you support ticket, the error message shows "Browser outdated". So it looks like your browser version isn't supported by Spotify anymore.
Give it a try with a newer one. Ignore the EXB message telling you you have the wrong browser version. And see if that helps.
If you want to communicate with me directly, please use the support system. I don't do support via the forum. It's to complicated to do stuff in different places.
Thanks for your understanding.
Kindest regards

i search in your facebook group , i did not find any info about exbrowser ml command
That's not fully implemented yet. Still working on it. If I can get everything integrated, this will be part of V2.0

Hi Chris,
wrote you a reply to your support ticket.
Not sure if you saw it already.

Hi.
There is a function called "ExBrowser Browser alive".
but keep in mind, it's always a bad idea if users interact with the browser in between.
You need to run commands within the same thread. So if you launch EXBrowser, it is "connected" to the ubot thread id that you launched it with.
If you launch new ubot commands from other threads or via buttons for example, you need to be careful with that kind of stuff. You might run into some issues here.Even more complicated when you run multithreading.
So it depends a bit on the usecase..Dan

I just installed exbrowser last week, been struggling with the exbrowser scrape table command and the xpath. Ive watched all the youtube tutorials. Ive seen single element scrape and a list but not a table and cant seem to make it go. Here is my stripped down script. Can someone please help? Ive come to understand xpath expressions for single and list elements but the table has me in a conundrum:
plugin command("ExBrowser.dll", "ExBrowser CleanUp", "No")
plugin command("ExBrowser.dll", "ExBrowser Launcher", "Chrome", "", "")
plugin command("ExBrowser.dll", "ExBrowser Navigate", "https://www.reuters.com/finance/stocks/financial-highlights/INTC")
plugin command("ExBrowser.dll", "ExBrowser Scrape Table", "x://table[@class=\"dataTable\"]", &eps, "InnerText")
with of course that last line being the trouble. I get an error: the index was outside the bounds of the array.
Im trying to scrape the first table, the one with a heading "Earnings Per Share**"
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
The xpath expression is way to broad. Run and element count on that xpath expression and check if the result is only 1. If it's more than 1 you found the problem.
Xpath expressions need to be unique (only 1 match). Otherwise you never know what html code you target with a command or function.

Hi
Is the Http plugin Tutorial Video series still available?
I followed the link and signed up to the mail list, recieved the Ubot Tools zip file however when I went to confirm subscription to the mail list I get an error.
Do you have a direct link I can use, I am very interested in doing some automation with CloudFlare and see it was one of the examples.
Regards
Ben
Hello.
Thanks for the info. The page after you confirmed the subscription was pointing to an old page. That's fixed now.
Nevertheless you already have access to the HTTP Tutorials. They are available in the facebook group files section:
https://www.facebook.com/groups/ExBrowserPlugin/files/
There is a file called "HTTP Plugin Tutorials Download LINK" that will point you to the right place.

Multilogin is good but the price is so expensive, we probably only need a feature like "Selenium Hardened integration" so that we don't get detected when using exbrowser.
If you have an idea how to do this, please let me know :-)
But honestly, most of the time nothing get's detected. There are some websites who have anti automation techniques.
But in my opinion, building bots for those websites, is always a fight. you never know when they stop you. You never know when they shut you down.
And if you build your business around something that unreliable, it's a big risk.

Hi.
It's always a good approach to test it manually first. Open the portable browser and configure the proxy. Then test if everything works.
Then you know what opens you need to configure. And then you can decide how to automate those settings.
If I remember correctly Chrome doesn't support Socks proxy with authentication. But I might be wrong.
Just google "Chrome socks proxy" and read true it.
Always remember. EXB us a remote control for the browser. It doesn't change the behavior of the browser nor does it add any additional features.
People often forget that.
So always figure out how to configure something manually, or via profiles, or plugins with your browser. And then think about how to automate this with EXB.
Hope this helps.
Regards
Dan

I see what you did there, Dan!
When I've seen that Exbrowser has gone from one-time payment to monthly sub sales model I was happy that I have joined the party before it happened 
Everything else additional features/commands wise can be found in most of the free plugins here on the forum which is awesome or you can do a go-around code and have it done anyways.
This isn't valid for the Exbrowser tho and if I would have to choose only 1 external plugin with my ubot and delete the rest, then it would definitely be the Exbrowser! Ubot itself can do a hell lot of stuff but with Exbrowser it becomes like an incredibile and unstopable ELITE COMMANDO cause in cases where internal browser is unable to do a particular step or have problems with going through a website which can happen to anyone, the Exbrowser is going to get the thing done for sure!
I got Exbrowser just for that case, cause instead of wasting my time and not getting something browser-wise done, I've bought Exbrowser which made me and my bot laugh at pre-Exbrowser time problems we had on some websites
To anyone wondering, JUST FREAKIN BUY IT. WORTH IT!
Thanks Dan for your work!
And if at some point in future I buy the whole ubot thing from set I will make your Exbrowser a core feature of ubot cause it's really allowing any bot to do anything and I wish them bot-blockers good look when I can change browsers and all the little and big setting inside to a totally random things and make my bot really INCOGNITO
:D Thanks for your nice words, my friend. And I'm pretty sure, if it helps you that much, jumping onto V2.0 with the subscription will not hurt you.You should make >50x the money with the tool anyways. So supporting the future of the product that helps you so much, should be a no brainer

Hello,
Everytime i install chrome v.70.0.3538.102 it is updating to the last version and does not work with EB.
I have tried everything, delete the update folder of google update, and add keys in windows registry without success.
Is there any way to avoid auto updating?
I could not found this portable version thats why im installing it.
Regards
Portable Chrome Versions you can find here:
https://sourceforge.net/projects/portableapps/files/Google%20Chrome%20Portable/
If you're on Windows 10, you have to disable the Google Update Services on your computer.

Good Morning,
I just shared a little info and some code in the ExBrowser Facebook Group.
That will help you to reduce errors and make your coding live a bit easier.

Looks like there is some confusion...
Some people purchased the subscription, even though they have the old license already...
And then asked me for V2
So let me make this clear.
As of 5th of June 2019..
There is NO V2.0
V1.3.2.8 is still the latest version.
If you have an existing license you don't need to purchase the new subscription based model!!
In the future.... when V2.0 is there (which is NOT at the moment) you will need the subscription.
For all NEW customers. Who purchase the product TODAY. They need a subscription TODAY. For V1.3.2.8Hope this makes it more clear.
If you're still unsure, ask me before you purchase:

Thank you Dan, so i sincerely hope anybody could share a good way to change proxy with user and password in firefox for multithreading, could you show how to navigate to firefox extension option page start with moz-extension://
thanks!!
Did you try some of my ideas? Very often we can solve coding problems with trial and error, instead of waiting for someone to give us the solution.
I spent many hours, just experimenting and trying to find new ways. That's the way how you learn and solve problems. But maybe you already tried everything and nothing worked, then I didn't say anything.

ExBrowser June 2019 Update.
V2.0 Update and some other important things.
Video available in the EXB Facebook Group -
how do you change proxy for multithreading in profile, do you have to preset each proxy for firefox in advanced?
I have not done this myself, so I can't tell you out of experience. But some ideas to look into:
1. Use some kind of plugin / addon. There are some plugins who support multiple proxies and can randomly choose one. Maybe that works for your use case.
2. Check if you can update the profile manually, maybe there is a config file? Or some kind of command line parameter to launch the browser with a different proxy every time it's launched.
3. I also googled "firefox change proxy command line"
And found this:
user_pref("network.proxy.http", "wwwproxy.example.com");user_pref("network.proxy.http_port", 3128);user_pref("network.proxy.type", 1);So this are settings you can configure via EXB as well. Might worth a try as well.But keep in mind, that proxies with authentication will not work in sucha scenario. So you need proxy servers without authentication, or IP based authentication.4. Another thing to take a look:But this is a $200 / month service. And it's not yet fully integrated into EXB. But I'm working on that.Just some ideas to work with. Hope one of those ideas will help you.Maybe others have some more ideas.Also join the FB group and post your question there:RegardsDan -
how to use proxy credential with username and password for firefox? seems profile not a good idea, i try to navigate to addon option but failed, anybody know how to browser to firefox option page start with moz-extension://
thanks!
Hi.
Why are profiles not a good idea. They work fine for many people. Depending on your usecase of course.
Dan

dan, can this problem be worked around?
the ubot browser opens clean, the exbrowser is detected
plugin command("ExBrowser.dll", "ExBrowser CleanUp", "No")
plugin command("ExBrowser.dll", "ExBrowser Launcher", "Chrome", "", "")
plugin command("ExBrowser.dll", "ExBrowser Navigate", "twentytwowords.com")
navigate("twentytwowords.com","Wait")

bot factory support system is acting weird on me, I cant send ticked, i got email confirmation but i cant see my message in the system.
So I am sendign this here because i think messages are not going through to your support system:
Run javascript code when done through a regular browser works and sends captcha code while when using run javascript in exbrowser and chrome it sends blank space and of course captcha cannot be solved.plugin command("ExBrowser.dll", "ExBrowser Run Javascript", "verify_email(\'{$list item(%_rawCaptcha,1)}\');")It is on freenom.com at t he checkout page, you can register free domain and try to checkout by solving captcha, I use abbas ultimate captcha plugin and Fiddler to confirm that exbrowser run javascript is not sending captcha code.I saw your ticket. Just sometimes takes a couple of days before I answer non critical support requests.
Thank you.

[Exbrowser] Chrome Load Profile Multithreading
in General Discussion
Posted
Hi.
Yes it's possible.
1. Profiles need to be separated. Each thread needs it's own profile directory (Chome)
2. You need to be aware of thread IDs, And your commands need to be executed in the right thread context. This can be a bit tricky to understand when you use threads first time with ubot.
But there are some free examples and training available in the forum and from some other members.
If you post your code (simple version please), we can probably take a look and guide you. But don't post 100 lines of code :-)
Cheers
Dan
