asciinema2gif always results in Error 404

[garyns]

I just cannot get it to work.

$ asciinema2gif 125790 ERROR: https://asciinema.org/api/asciicasts/125790 returns 404

Thanks.

Try to open that link in the browser; it’s indeed a 404. You cannot convert a page that does not exist. Looks like the asciinema website changed something.

I think they removed /api/asciicasts, even the sample url given in README results in 404

I haven't really dug into this code much but here's a start at getting it partially working. Edit the asciinema2gif script and take out

# Show warning if a URL not containing '/api/asciicasts/' is given
if [[ $asciinema_url != *'/api/asciicasts/'* ]]; then
  echo -e "\n$(tput setaf 1)Wrong URL format. See https://github.com/tav/asciinema2gif#url-format.$(tput sgr0)\n"
  exit 1
fi

then run it like asciinema2gif https://asciinema.org/a/111474. You'll see it prepare

>> Dimensions: 1542.9375x896
>> Preparing window ...

and get stuck here.

The code that triggers the playback does still work. If you go to any public cast and run https://github.com/tav/asciinema2gif/blob/master/render.js#L156-L160 in the console you'll see it start playing. I'm guessing there's not a whole lot left to get it all working again...
