Hey,

First off, thanks for your work on the tool. The download feature is fantastic! Been using it to pull down everything I had in my account and then properly catalog everything and so far, all seems to be working pretty good. Now I just got two small questions, or maybe potential feature requests:

1: I convert the .ts files the download feature spits out into .mp4's to save some space and because of this, the filesize goes down pretty heavily and now I got one video the catalog feature won't pick up because it seems to think that the video is too small. The log says:

2021/05/27 19:46:02 [WARN] The video file 'xxxxXXX.mp4' appears to be invalid since it is too small. Skipping!

So it seems that you have a builtin check to see if the file is actually large enough to be a movie, which is fine I think, but there doesn't seem to be a way to tell the tool to not do this. Would it be possible to implement a parameter to tell the tool to skip the filesize check? Or does that already exist? Couldn't find anything in the readme or by running the tool itself.

2: A few videos don't get picked up by the catalog feature no matter what ID I use for the movie filename. All of these videos have one thing in common however and that is the fact they are coming from the "amateur" (www.<you-know-where>.com/videos/vod/amateur/) and NOT the regular movies (www.<you-know-where>.com/videos/vod/movies/) part of the site.</you-know-where></you-know-where>

Because of this, I highly suspect that the tool right now only seem to search anything that's actually in the vod/movies part of the site and ignores all the others.

Is this assumption correct? If that's the case then I can stop trying to find the right ID to use ^^'

Thanks for your time!

Hi there,

Thanks for the kind feedback! In regards to your first question, yes that is done by design. It prevents people from accidently scraping partial downloads, poor quality files, or other files that might be mixed in your download folder (for example video ads, or other strange things websites put in download packages). If I may ask, what is the file size of your movie your trying to catalog? Isn't the quality of your video seriously harmed at such low levels? Anyways as a temporary work around, what I think you can do is catalog your *.ts files first, and then compress the videos after the fact. 

In regards to your second question, you are correct! Video information comes from the movies side and not from the amature side. To be honest, I never thought to include it because I didn't realize it worked on a seperate system. Does downloading videos still work for the amature side, or is it just scraping that's the problem? This is something that could totally be added in a future release. I just need to find time to get to it, since I prioritize my backlog according to Patreon, user needs, and which effect the greatest number of people. (^_^);
