Problem with --save-video

[fabianmueller1997]

Hey,

first of all, I'd like to say thank you for this great tool. It's been very handy for me.
There is, however, a problem with the --save-video option: When I try to download the contents of a 'video-heavy' (NSFW) blog, I end up with lots of incomplete videos. Most of the downloaded files have a size of roughly 3 MiB which seems quite strange. As a result, the incomplete videos only play for a few seconds of their original duration.
Maybe there is some sort of limit that prevents larger videos from being downloaded? Perhaps I should add that my internet connection is quite slow.
Another thing I noticed was that - during the process of downloading videos - the script produces a lot of errors.
I am using this version of the script with Python 3: #96 I also installed the latest version of youtube-dl with 'pip install -U youtube-dl' The Linux distribution I am using is Manjaro i3 (17.0.6).
I hope there is some sort of solution to this problem.

Re-run the rips in the meantime. I'll make a PR adjusting timeouts and retries.

You should use pip3 for youtube-dl, and update your tumblr-utils I believe I pushed out a fix for the failing rips around the time you made this issue. I set the failure threshold for 3000 retries which is insane but should stabilize it well.

I didn't use pip3 to install youtube-dl, but I used pip. It still doesn't download full videos

Upgrade to the latest version of tumblr-utils and try again, It should have an insane timeout for videos. If that doesn't fix it try to obtain better internet.
