Fbox's domain change broke the addon
As mentioned in the title and seen in the log below, which is from listing the movies section, the addon no longer works because of that

Search works though, because it defaults to the new domain, but it is the only thing that works.
The old domain is mentioned in 10 lines inside main.py, although 4 of them are commented out. I will try changing them later today when I will have some time and test it.
p.s. I also have fbox in my browser's boomarks, since like a year ago or so, and it has the new domain.
Time to confirm. Changing all (non commented out) instances of www3.fbox.to to fbox.to makes the addon usable again.
I would create a pull request for it, but I don't know how to make one.
Does anyone have the addon installed to see if it works again, for any reason? I can not UNpatch mine or reinstall and check it.
As usual, vidplay and mycloud fail to play anything, even on my patched fbox, all day long. The error below is the same for both providers.

Patching the klucze variable with the one from fmovies makes the addon work again :)
In order to assist the dev or anyone who is willing to do the dirty work, here is a patch with all the changes that must be made. I had to use a paste service because github does not allow the upload of .patch files as attachments. Available for 7 days only.
https://paste.debian.net/hidden/ad05a519/
One week since the last update on fmovies and I still can't port the changes to fbox, so I guess it will remain broken :(
Fbox changed its domain again, to fboxz.to this time. Patching the python file with the new name and the klucze variable does not help. This error comes up for movies

This is possibly my last comment here. I removed the addon a few days ago and I reinstalled it in order to patch it with the new domain, but it remains broken.
Now that fmovies is dead and buried, can you please fix fbox? I think it will require less work than creating a new one from scratch which would scrape another popular site.
Fbox shut down yesterday, so there is no reason to keep the issue open. https://old.reddit.com/r/Piracy/comments/1f1x8fn/fboxzto_is_officially_gone/
