I think I have the same issue.

After pressing enter the scrapping continues but skips some posts.

I tried to scrap these posts with single mode, and most of them worked.

But the above mentioned post had still some isses in single mode. It downloaded a big video file (4,1GB) but the audio & playback speed was broken, and I got the following error massage multiple times:

A second post with 3 shorts videos (~2min) + 1 pic didn't work either in single mode. I got the following error massage:

It may be coincidence or not, but both of the posts which are not working (even in single mode) got posted on the same date (2023/05/04). And the 3 smaller videos from the one post are teasers from the big video in the other post.

Many thanks in advance!

@CaptainKoons This is different error, then the guy got in the other issue ticket.

Also I knew about this specific error where it says something about estimate_timings_from_pts before already and usually this does not influence the output media in any way. It just prints the warning into the console and that's about it.

I think the media that has the "playback speed" issues that you mentioned is the media that also errors out saying "av.error.ValueError". I am not sure if the estimate_timings_from_pts thing and the ValueError are even coherent to each other.

Regardless I am unable to reproduce the bug, as all of the mentioned media causing those errors appears to be restricted to subscribers only. To assist in resolving the issue, kindly send an email to [email protected] with account credentials, which have access to the mentioned content.

@CaptainKoons I have made several commits that address this issue. Please download the latest python version of the repository and let me know if those changes, solve the issue you were having before.

[CaptainKoons]

@Avnsx I’ve tried the latest python version as you said.
And it worked perfectly fine with single post download on the long 4gb+ video post! (I haven’t tied a full scrap)
Many thanks for that already!!! 🍻

But the second error post with the 3 smaller videos+1pic still gets an error

[Avnsx]

av.error.ValueError: [Errno 22] Invalid argument

@Avnsx I appreciate your willingness to investigate the issue further. But I hope you understand, that I’m not happy to share my login data online (which would in this case lead to automatically sharing my personal data and credit card details as well).
Hopefully you find a way to solve the issues regardless.

Thanks in advance & BR!

If you want to help, just create a fresh fansly account, buy a subscription to the mentioned creator and send me the account credentials to [email protected] @OpenFieldsOfOz

[Avnsx]

Also @OpenFieldsOfOz are you sure that the python version 0.4.1 of fansly downloader, doesn't fix the issue for you either?

[OpenFieldsOfOz]

I'm running the fe25522cfadb397d137b9aa735d0004ec9f05e4b version from master

[Avnsx]

I'm running the fe25522cfadb397d137b9aa735d0004ec9f05e4b version from master

That's not exactly a versioning, just go to the config.ini file and look at the version string at the very bottom

[OpenFieldsOfOz]

Yup, version version = 0.4.1. Sent you an email with test creds
