Originally assigned to: @Glitchy-Sheep on GitHub.

The main problem is that Boosty sometimes returns an empty uploadStatus field during listing, which causes validation errors.
This likely happens with videos that haven't finished uploading, but that needs to be confirmed.

Either way, adding a "skip unfinished uploads" update makes sense.
It absolutely should be done for ok_videos, and probably for other chunks which could be in an "unfinished state"

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)

Thanks for the reply!
The author has videos waiting to be uploaded for about a week (is this a bug?).
However, I can't download any of this author's posts after a certain date, even if they only contain photos.
Another author's free posts download everything, including videos.
P.S. Could you please update the uploader in the next couple of days? My subscription ends on February 11th, and I'm unlikely to renew, and the author has 2,855 photos...

@LonelyWZ I already reproduced the issue and know how to handle it gracefully, the update should be today, maybe in 3-4 hours

@LonelyWZ Yup, update is available now, you can try it with pip install -U boosty-downloader, let me know if that helps, now it should just skip the "unfinished parts" and continue loading the available ones.
