Description

First I know titktok seems to always break but I still wanted to ask. youtube-dlc doesn’t download all the videos of a given tiktok page. Individual videos work but not entire pages.

@sjvdmerwe I will see if it needs to be updates and try messing with it a bit more. Doing some testing they’re probably gonna need to do a lot of background stuff to get tiktok fully working as even if you feed it a bunch of links you get rate limited really fast it seems. (for ytdlc)
