Empty selection error / unable to select anything to monitor on archive.org collection page

1

Hi

I’m trying to monitor a collection on archive dot org for changes and have not yet managed to get it to work.

This is the URL:
https://archive.org/details/Fugazi?sort=-addeddate

I used “select whole web page” but this resulted in NA/empty selection, although I have seen that this works on other web pages.

The web selector tool does not seem to manage to select anything.

I know archive dot org was hacked not long ago and as a result they strengthened security measures - maybe this is what is making it hard.

Sorry if this is all very basic but I’m new to using distill.io. Any help would be very gratefully received.

Thanks

Alex

@alemitrani archive.org uses shadow roots (custom elements) to render content. it is not supported. we are working on building support for shadow roots very soon.

OK, thanks very much for explaining that and for your prompt reply.

Kind regards
