When I try to download all videos from a user, I get this error "curl: (22) The requested URL returned a error: 404"

When I try to play the video in the Iwara website, I get an error saying "The media could not be loaded, either because the server or network failed or because the format is not supported."

I am running the script in Windows using WSL2 Ubuntu

Is this the website's fault?

I want to add a feature to this wonderful software. But I am not sure about the license of this software. So, I don't know if it is OK to add features.

Followed from here: #8 (comment)

This bug cannot be consistently reproduced, but I have encountered this for several times.

However, I didn't find anything wrong as I went through the related code.

I would be greatly appreciated if you could solve this problem😭

Thanks a lot.

Hi,
When I download several different users' videos in a single command like this:
./iwara-dl.sh --user aaa bbb ccc ddd
the downloaded videos are not grouped by dirs.
Is there a way to tackle with the problem? If not, since I've written a script to group them using the terminal output info, I may try to integrate it into the project in the future.
Best regards

I am also considering writing one myself and adding more handy features. I saw you are living in the US and wrote this crawler. Anyone has reached out to you and alarmed you? Or any form of bad things ever happened to you?

Thank you so much for your kind help!

Firstly, Is it fine to run this using Git Bash for Windows? I tried executing the command as follows:
sh iwara-dl.sh [Playlist URL]

to download a playlist but it returns with an error
./iwaralib.sh: line 11: `calc-argc': not a valid identifier

So I checked the file using notepad and changed - to _ for all the functions until it stopped throwing that error

Then when I try running it, I get the following error
iwara_dl.sh: line 142: calc-argc: command not found
Missing [urls/ids]

I tried sh iwara-dl.sh url [Playlist URL] & sh iwara-dl.sh -url [Playlist URL] but the issue still persists...

I'm new to coding so apologies if this problem sounds very basic :)

PS/Edit: Unrelated to this, but do u have any solution for videos in playlists just randomly disappearing? I had around 140 but now it only shows 30 :(

iwara has a new website. Therefore, login/download seems to be no longer available with this script (iwara-dl).

how to run this script on windows 10? can't install curl

I want to make sure the interfaces are similar to other dl tools. Like youtube-dl url => output one file megadl 'path' => write a file, not in a ./dl/ directory. It actually breaks my daily updater after I fetch the new master branch...

So recently, I think we will refractor the getopts part to make the user interface more intuitive. (e.g --opts value etc)

If you have any suggestions, please write below. @momoandbanana22

Currently, I think in the next version, we can

iwaradl.sh 
  -h --help       => show this help message and exit
  --username [U]  => username
  --userpass [P]  => password
  --load-ignore-list [File] => load the list of files that should not download
  -r --resume     => try resume download
  --retry [count] => Max time to retry the download fail
  --user          => treat input url as usernames
  --quiet-mode    => quiet mode
  --name-only     => output downloaded file name only(hides curl download bar)

  --shallow-update => only download users first page
  --updater-v1     => cd to each username folder; update each folder;
  --updater-v2     => create ./dl/ folder and update;

  --rm [File]      =>  add a name to iwara ignore list and delete the file

  --follow [M]  => Download videos of people you are following. M:MaxPage
  --dl-list [f] => Download using the VideoID in the [F] VideoID List file.

Hi,
Due to the usage part in readme, there is a retry argument like this:
--retry [count] Max time to retry the download fail
However, the count parameter is not accepted, since the code in iwara-dl.sh reads like:
--retry ) export IWARA_RETRY="TRUE"; shift; ;;
and in func iwara-dl-retry-dl() in iwaralib.sh:
if [[ "$IWARA_RETRY" != "FALSE" ]] ; then
It seems that the [count] parameter is not supported yet, so maybe it's better to modify the help info about [retry].
Best regards

As I noticed, the script uses the http status code returned from cURL to identify whether a file is successfully downloaded.

if [[ "$http_return_code" == "416" ]] || [[ "$http_return_code" == "200" ]]; then
    add-downloaded-id "$videoid";

However, when cURL ends up with an error
curl: (92) HTTP/2 stream 0 was not closed cleanly: PROTOCOL_ERROR (err 1)
It returns 200 even the file is not successfully downloaded.

I am not very familiar with shell scripts and commands, so I am wondering if you have a better way to solve this problem.

As for now , I mannually copy the progress bar of cURL and check download integrity, since I don't know how to read the progress bar in commands or write them to files. It maybe a feasbile way to solve this issue if you can get the message in progress bar.

What's more, the '.file.size' argument in $video_stat got in function iwara-dl-by-videoid is not reliable. I don't know why there is difference between the actual size and the one provided by API. Maybe it's useful if you know the correlation between these 2 figures.

Thanks a lot.
