Gfycat video links all fail

Any way to fix broken download links from GFYCAT site?

2021-05-01 14:01:48.3073 ERROR Failed to download https://gfycat.com/LimpWhoppingBasil: Error while downloading https://gfycat.com/LimpWhoppingBasil: [25759172] Unable to retrieve name for external entry of type ExternalUrl: https://gfycat.com/LimpWhoppingBasil

When I manually go to this URL eg https://gfycat.com/LimpWhoppingBasil it seems to redirect to https://www.redgifs.com/watch/limpwhoppingbasil

gfycat/redgifs will need a separate parsing plugin to be written in order to work.

Probably will take a look at this after 0.10.1 release.

Would be nice to get it in quick - I have a creator that has many, many GFYCAT posts and trying to get them all before he closes his Patreon down (he said he is about to).

Actually there is 1672 downloads to go through according to your downloader. If you fix the downloader, is there some way to filter another run of your downloader and only do the GFYCAT links next time (and ignore all the other Patreon and MEGA links which already worked this time)?

I don't think I will have time to implement this feature as fast as you would like to. As a workaround you can extract all gfycat links from the logs and pass them to gallery-dl.

Files which already exist in the download folder will not be re-downloaded unless you pass --overwrite-files parameter

Thanks for the info! I'll look into that gallery-dl
