Hello. I posted awhile ago in the Issues area, and learned quite a lot. But that didn't seem to be the best place for continued discussion, whereas here appears more appropriate.
My main questions relate to optimizing (personally) my twitter configs. Here is my current gallery-dl config.json:
And here is my twitter.txt file for the format
I primarily use this to download an archive of my likes. However, I notice that not all of the tweets on my likes list are being saved.
Some patterns for the ones not being saved that I notice are tweets containing Quote Media (ie
https://twitter.com/Lythero/status/1583547802306908160
), as well as text-only tweets with no media (iehttps://twitter.com/philippe_lrf/status/959148529636667392
).When trying to run a gallery-dl command on either of them, I just get
[twitter][info] No results for [tweet link]
When running in verbose mode for a whole list, it specifically mentions
[twitter][debug] Skipping {tweet_id} (quoted tweet)
I can assume for text-only tweets that it's trying to reference a tweet with media to then post-process into a text file with the format.
I am not certain how to go about tweets with quote media/text. I assume the same goes for reply tweets. I looked into it on the issues page (and later in discussions) and tried adding the below to my postprocessors:
but it didn't change what was/wasn't being saved, it looks. (adding "replies": true," did appear to save more than not including it, but oddly enough the file count on the first use vs the most recent is different by 1, oddly the first extraction saved more than all my later attempts, including running the original configs. Might be a twitter thing)
What I'm asking overall is, how can I get gallery-dl to save tweets with media quoted in it, and how can I save tweets that are text only while it adheres to my format?
Also, for tweets with replies, I attempted to add
{https://twitter.com/{author[name]}/status/{retweet_id|reply_id}| }
to my twitter.txt file so that if the tweet was a reply/retweet, it would show the ID of the tweet it is replying to. Though it doesn't really like when I do that. I'll post an issue about it as this seems more fitting to there.Ty for your time
