Hi! Thank you for reporting the issue!

I think I’ve seen this exact problem in #61.

It happens because audio content is not yet supported by the downloader.

I would really like to implement this soon, but it requires significant changes to the caching layer (so it doesn’t break other users’ caches).

I think I will try to fix it next month, but I’m not sure yet.
As a workaround, you can still download specific posts by URL that don’t contain audio parts.

I got it to work, if anyone is interested you can update several files locally or clone a fork - see MR #77

Hey guys, I'm glad to announce the 2.1.0 release, which is now support audio downloading as well, I added some db migrations in the caching logic, so you won't need to erase your existing caches.

Just run your boosty downloader to get a hint about updating or type pip install -U boosty-downloader or if you use pipx pipx install -U boosty-downloader

Hey @LonelyWZ, thanks for the report!

This seems to be a slightly different issue.

The original problem was a missing special audio chunk, which has been fixed in the latest patch. In your case, uploadStatus is being returned as empty, which shouldn't happen under normal circumstances.

These are validation errors that occur when the server returns unexpected results.

In our case, it's related to ok_video - a Boosty video that may still be processing.
Could you check whether the video had finished uploading by the time you attempted the download?
Is it available now (and if yes, is the error still occurs)?

Also, could you check whether this occurs for other authors as well?
In the meantime, I think I would update the downloader to skip "unfinished posts" (process uploadStatus specially)
