WARNING: You are using pip version 22.0.4; however, version 23.2.1 is available.
You should consider upgrading via the 'C:\Users\ylee1\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python310\python.exe -m pip install --upgrade pip' command.

Your pip version doesn't matter. But you can google how to upgrade pip if you want to. It's what is used to install/upgrade cyberdrop-dl.

Sorry if this has been mentioned/ask before. Is there a way you can code the input to upgrade the program? Example, after a successful scrape, you could say "a new version of Cyberdrop is available, would you like to upgrade?" and then you could say Y or N and it would just upgrade it, making it easier for people to upgrade and not having to put in the command each time. Just a ease of life update, not really a big deal.

No module named --user

at this point man, it'd probably be easier to just uninstall all python versions, and start from scratch.

If you use the start files, the beginning line in them is an upgrade statement.

Done that and it still doesn't upgrade, it's weird.

Can I ask you take one last look at this for a translation of what's going on please and I'll try and sort it myself.

best bet is just googling the last line of the error and seeing what comes up / trying some things out.

Just perhaps for future reference. I uninstalled python AND the launchers AND deleted all the folders (some hidden) then re-installed the latest python and this seems to have worked. Previously I only uninstalled python (twice)

May I ask how to configure this?

I want to scrape only the videos in a thread here so I set exclude the other file types to true. However, for some reason it still scrapes the other file types as seen in my cmd with the "starting and scraping" texts before starting the real download. So let's say there's only 20 videos but 2000 images, it's going to take a while for the actual download to start because it goes through those 2000 images as well.

Is there any way to make it faster for the downloads to start?

Edit: After waiting for minutes now I get this error. Goodbye to the minutes I spent waiting, sadly.

if you are using the config, you need to set apply_config to true.

For downloads starting, some sites have hard coded wait times to get by rate limits, others you can reduce the throttle value in the config.

For the error, I'd need to see the whole log file, but if that happens at the very end of running, it can be ignored.

I set the apply_config to true since scraping here requires credentials. As for the downloads, I don't really understand the throttling part but does that mean it really has to go through all the other filetypes first despite on setting it to let's say download only videos?

I don't understand your question. If you have it set to only download videos, it will still see the other filetypes while scraping, but they will be skipped in the download stage. Again, i'd need to see the downloader.log file to help you.

Alright followed the steps but this just pops up in the code.

The urls.txt file also doesn't appear to be urls.txt on your system. it's urls.1 in notepad, you'll need to change it.

is not downloading the cyberfile video folder. It may be because there is a password on the folder. How can I add a password to the folder?

Cyberdrop-DL doesn't support password protected albums/downloads.

I think arkofseven wants to download only the vids from a thread but somehow skip the scraping of image links to speed up the scraping stage. Pretty sure it needs to scrape all the links to discover filetypes first in order to filter only vids. Maybe use '--skip_hosts' to skip image only hosts like pixl and jpg.church. Or maybe somehow output only the wanted/vid links to a txt file and use that file in subsequent runs.
