Can you specify download resolution?

[will-simp-for-feet-pics]

A lot of times I find myself wanting to download something in 1080p when the highest resolution is 4k and that's what the scraper downloads by default. This is annoying because 4k content takes up a lot of space on my hard drive and it takes a long time to download, and I don't even have a 4k display anyway. Is there a way to get the scraper to download content at a lower resolution?

No there is currently not, star the repository and I'll add the feature

aight, done.

Nevermind I forgot that the fansly API, is too buggy and never responds with correct values for height and width in first place, which made it very complex to even find the heighest resolution media.

	# locally fixes fansly api highest current_variant_resolution height bug. can't use content['id'], because that's also bugged ..
	def parse_variant_metadata(variant_metadata: str):
	variant_metadata = json.loads(variant_metadata)
	max_variant = max(variant_metadata['variants'], key=lambda variant: variant['h'], default=None)
	# if a heighest height is not found, we just hope 1080p is available
	if not max_variant:
	return 1080
	# else parse through variants and find highest height
	if max_variant['w'] < max_variant['h']:
	max_variant['w'], max_variant['h'] = max_variant['h'], max_variant['w']
	return max_variant['h']
	def parse_variants(content: dict, content_type: str): # content_type: media / preview
	nonlocal metadata, highest_variants_resolution, highest_variants_resolution_url, download_url, media_id, created_at, highest_variants_resolution_height
	if content.get('locations'):
	location_url = content['locations'][0]['location']
	current_variant_resolution = (content['width'] or 0) * (content['height'] or 0)
	if current_variant_resolution > highest_variants_resolution:
	highest_variants_resolution = current_variant_resolution
	highest_variants_resolution_height = content['height'] or 0

The feature you suggested would in-fact be good to have, but I personally won't add it until fansly fixes their API, else it will be very annoying to add this

But this shouldn't be a big problem with version 0.4, because you will only download media once and then hashing (deduplication), from that point on will know, that you already have previously downloaded the media and you won't need to download it again :)

Regarding file-size stored on disk; how bout you don't archive half of fansly, surely then it won't take that much space. Or just buy more drives cba

I saw that in the code lol. Oh well, I'll probably just use ffmpeg to downscale video while (hopefully) retaining decent enough quality.
