[BUG] Downloader thinks it has finished retrieving chat on the second request on member-only streams

See original GitHub issue

Basic information

Program version: 0.0.8
Python version: 3.6.9
Operating system: Ubuntu

Describe the bug

I’m trying to get the livechat from an ongoing member stream. The downloader outputs to stderr [INFO] Finished retrieving chat. after the second message batch, then the program closes.

I’m not yet sure if member-only is the cause, I’ll keep trying on subsequent member-only streams I have access to.

Command/Code used

If running from the command line, provide the following:

The command used (including the verbose tag, -v):

chat_downloader "$URL" --cookies cookies.txt -v
