must say i don't know how this tool works

if i run this:
gallery-dl twitter.com/shONe_Banana -v -s 2>&1
if get this:
https://a.pomf.cat/trncaf.txt

it stops prematurely, the twitter account has many more posts with images before that (in time), like this one:
https://twitter.com/shONe_Banana/status/1376187869329379334

what might be the problem?

sorry i thought you mean the problem is the line like this [twitter][debug] Skipping 1435836414847975430 (retweet)

but reading it again

it stops prematurely, the twitter account has many more posts with images before that (in time), like this one:

twitter.com/shONe_Banana/media

ok now it extracts urls all right, and it's faster, too

i have hard time understanding what this is all about, but ok

thanks!

But is there a reason why the timeline thing or whatever wasn't being... gotten? I've actually just been feeding gallery-dl the normal-looking profile links (even though I only want the media posted by the user themselves), and I have yet to encounter any problems.

ps. the media page should just contain everything the twitter user posted themselves, right?

refer to #544 , best tldr : current workflow will not give consistent result and therefore may not give all result

see also #1396 (comment) for alternative query that may give more result

i don't know too much about it but based on quick google search

Photos in Tweets will not be displayed if the Tweet was sent before January 1, 2010.

Note: If you don't see your photos or videos hosted by third-party services in your media timeline or in your Tweets, it means we don't currently support displaying media for that particular service.

Note: If you copy and paste the URL of someone else's photos into your Tweet (a manual Retweet), that person's photo will then appear in your media timeline. photos will not appear in your media timeline if you use the official Retweet button.
