Nothing words, literally
Describe the bug
[A clear and concise description of what the bug is.] Bro it just straight up doesnt work. Nothing pops up. Nothing. Zilch. And if I try to run via CMD then "python.exe: Error while finding module specification for 'Run.py' (AttributeError: module 'Run' has no attribute 'path')". It straight up doesnt work at all. I installed requirments and all.
Environment Info
- OS: [e.g. Windows/Mac/Linux - include version if possible]
- RMD Version: [e.g. "3.0.0" - run with "-v" to find this] Windows 10 Pro 64 bit 3.0.1
Screenshots/Information
If applicable, add screenshots (or copies of error printouts) to help explain your problem. [Include links to failed URLs/Posts, names of Sources, or other useful info here]
Additional context
[Add any other context about the problem here.]
The screenshots look like your database is corrupted. In the first one, RMD is trying to run an update on the manifest db, but it cannot finish because some of the data (but not all) already exists. I'd guess it was either terminated partway through making the original manifest, or it somehow failed to do so properly on the first run. You can probably solve that by deleting the old manifest.
In the second screenshot, RMD is simply unable to open the manifest file at the given save location.
I'm not sure how it reached that point, but make sure you're running RMD pointing at a directory where it can safely read/write files. I'll add some logging to try and hunt this issue down, since I've seen it come up before, but so far it's been impossible for me to replicate it.
I've updated the master branch now with a little more debugging, but it probably won't resolve this issue. Is the path to your manifest file on the standard windows filesystem? You may want to also make sure no other instances of RMD are still running.
I...I don't know what any of this means. I don't have any "databases". Hell, the only databases I've ever touched was phpmyadmin. When I first downloaded the program and ran it, authorized it, added sources, I pressed start downloading and nothing happened. Repeatedly. So I deleted and re-downloaded and now this stuff is happening as shown.

In your download folder, there is a "manifest" file. This file is the database RMD uses to track download progress for that directory. It seems to have become corrupted.
I've deleted everything and re-downloaded, problem persists. Problem resolved after finding the appdata local folder and deleting it. Idk why first time failed so spectacularly.

How do I exclude videos from downloading? Some subreddits have lots of videos I dont want and they take up a lot of space and time to download
RMD doesn't know what media type is at each url until it's downloaded, so there is no global way to do that. If the videos primarily come from a few specific sites, you can add a URL filter to the source then exclude any URL patterns you don't want.
