twitter-video-downloader's Issues

Create a Pypi package for pip install

Thanks for great software.

Here's a simple demo package I maintain for reference on how to do it: https://github.com/************/vcdvcd/blob/master/setup.py + release procedure: https://github.com/************/vcdvcd#release-procedure it's quite simple. Let me know if any help is needed with this.

I'd also rename executable to just twitter-dl and chmod +x it as part of release. The sample package above has vcdcat as an executable example.

Python 3.5.2 @ TypeError: invalid file: PosixPath

I get following error message in Python 3.5.2 when i am trying to download a video:

Rate limit exceed

Hey, I've tested our tool, I have a problem.
This is the output :

alexis@spectre:~/Documents/Projets/my-secret-website/downloader$ python3 twitter-video-downloader.py -v https://twitter.com/RideForLiife/status/773903597725585408

    m3u8_url_get = m3u8_url_get['track']['playbackUrl']
KeyError: 'track'

This line :
{'errors': [{'message': 'Rate limit exceeded', 'code': 88}]}
Is because I've print the m3u8_url_get var.

Can you tell me more about the problem ?
Ty, Alexis

`AttributeError: module 'ffmpeg' has no attribute 'input'`

When downloading a video from Twitter, I get the following error:

$  ./twitter-dl.py 'https://twitter.com/helenleigh/status/1319420968964624395'

Note that the line numbers might be different from the main branch as I've tweaked the source (as per issue #7).

I believe I have fixed the issue. From Googling around, I see ffmpeg-python has an issue that suggests installing ffmpeg-python instaed of ffmpeg. Installing ffmpeg-python instead of ffmpeg resolves the issue for me.

pip install ffmpeg-python

Note I probably bungled the install as I see ffmpeg-python listed in the requirements.txt, so this issue should only maybe serve as a reminder to either install ffmpeg-python or to make sure a propper install was done of this repo.

how to find the prefix url you posted ? that's amazing

Thanks for you sharing.

I analyze the twitter website and see the http request the firefox send, but I how to get the video url , I don't know how to compose it. I think that maybe I need it's developer account of twitter, but during requesting, I found your git.

I want to know how to find this url .
thanks in advance.
