Can't download images from VK.com user.

Open MrSeyker opened this issue 2 years ago • 2 comments

I'm having trouble downloading the files from this specific user.

https://vk.com/the.dark.mangaka

They don't have a photo gallery, all his uploads can only be seen through his Community posts. gallery-dl only captures two single pictures (his profile picture and one other), regardless if I have the vk cookies linked through the configuration file.

Can anyone give some insight as to what's happening here?

Try downloading this link: https://vk.com/album-162468097_00. Generally speaking, you should open any picture from the user's feed, then click on "Community wall photos" below the image, this should lead you to the gallery.

Thanks for the tip. I could download the images. Only problem was that I couldn't get them to download in the intended directory as I couldn't get his username from the metadata of that url.
