Crashes when processing literature on DeviantArt

[ghost]

Hello,
Several of the DeviantArt galleries I regularly download have started crashing recently. It seems to happen whenever it tries to process a literature type post. This started happening this week; perhaps they have changed the format or something?

The error looks like this:

[deviantart][error] An unexpected error occurred: TypeError - a float is required. Please run gallery-dl again with the --verbose flag, copy its output and report this issue on https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/issues .
[deviantart][debug] Traceback

perhaps they have changed the format or something?

They changed the published_time field from integer to string, which caused the timestamp-to-date conversion to fail. Why they made this change in the first place this is highly questionable, but that's another topic entirely.

Anyway, thanks for reporting this bug.
