No Directories are created

[sedony23]

Hi,

when I run flickrmirrorer, it nicely downloads all files, but only creates a "photostream" directory where all files are. However the set/collection folder structure is not being created. When I rerun flickrmirrorer, It says that "Skipping" to all files, as they have been downloaded already, but still no folders are created for my sets and collections. No errors are being generated.

Best

Hi, Daniel. My suspicion is that the script is failing to complete because it is unable to download some video files. This is a problem I've had for a little while now and haven't found a good solution. The Flickr API doesn't really have a way to download videos, and the hacks in the script are a little buggy.

You could try running the script with --ignore-videos. This will cause it to not try to download video files. I hope that will allow the script to complete successfully (creating the album and collection directories happens toward the end of the mirroring process).

I'm having the exact same issue. Using verbose and ignore-videos options, I cannot seem to get dirs at all. Other than that, installing pre-reqs and running has not yielded any errors that I can see.
