embedded videos aren't being downloaded (anymore?)

Open vesper8 opened this issue 2 years ago • 1 comments

I'm running the command like this:

dotnet run --url https://www.patreon.com/m/xxxxxx/posts --descriptions --embeds --json --campaign-images --use-sub-directories --download-directory /Users/xxx/Downloads/_PATREON_DOWNLOADER

It gets everything but not the embedded videos. Instead it generates 3kb files called post_video

I also tried with this fork https://github.com/1zizi1/PatreonDownloader which has added benefit of downloading all the youtube videos, but it doesn't work on the embedded videos.. @1zizi1 maybe you have an idea of how to make that work? Awesome fork in any case!

Anyone know if it's because Patreon has changed the way they embed videos and this used to work.. ?

Many thanks!

PatreonDownloader never downloaded any videos unless they were a direct links to the file, not sure which videos you are talking about.
