Windows 8.1??? Time to update I think, you're no longer receiving security updates and you're going to find a lot of software won't support it either.
The file did not end in _source. However, after a 5th attempt, the script successfully downloaded the video. Apologies for mistaking that file for the DRM video. And cheers once again for the script. Thanks for the help.
Try the latest release and see if the count gets any closer to 1900, hopefully it will
It shouldn't close after it completes, it should let you do another scrape after that on the latest version
You might have to explain in a little more detail what you mean. Once you've finished scraping the profile the menu will appear again with the options to Select All, List, Custom or Exit so you choose any of those to start a new scrape on profiles if that's what you were trying to say?
Sure, so what i was looking for was more of an automatic way for this to run. With the DC scraper i could have the scraper sleep for "x" number of minutes after it completed a run before it restarted so it could just continue to run without user interaction.
yeah so instead of returning to your initial menu, it would just wait x minutes and fetch again with the same menu selection.
exactly! Although, one potential thing i noticed the other day that would potentially also need to be addressed with this method is, i ran a scrape, subscribed to a new person, ran another scrape but it didnt pull the new person down. I had to stop the program, restart it then it pulled the new person in the next scrape.
I mean somehow I never thought of that approach before and I could probably make that the way things are grabbed from the API and probably will make scraping a lot quicker. Would require me to rework most of what happens currently but could probably be a very good thing to do in terms of the time it takes to scrape because I can see where this would be useful in the case that you want to get the latest 10 posts but you have to wait for every post to be collected just to get those 10 you want.
Makes a lot more sense now you've put it that way. I can do this by adding a value to the auth.json where by default it doesn't scrape again after it completes, you have to manually start it again or if you specify a time in minutes it will wait that amount of time and scrape again. You're other point about the subs not being pulled down is a simple fix, it just needs to call the API again to get the list of subscriptions, currently I think it's using the list from when you first start the program.
Yeah that would be useful although I just created a symlink for the onlyfans folder.
You could make this the default behaviour actually and just add a DownloadAll flag.
I was more thinking just leaving it as the default, if the metadata folder doesn't exist then it will know to start fresh because nothing would of been downloaded based on what's in the posts, messages etc tables with the DB file and if it gets stopped part way through it can find the last post/media it needs to start from in the DB.
