In a python script, that scrapes the mp4 files from a streaming website, is now a python error after I reinstalled it and I don't know what is the problem here.

I think the code is too large for discord, so I will dump my github here

It's an older build from them

turbid otter Jan 24, 2024, 10:25 AM

#

That code looks so weird jesus christ

grizzled wraith Jan 24, 2024, 10:26 AM

#

I wanna fix it

turbid otter Jan 24, 2024, 10:26 AM

#

I want to end myself

#

Ok now time to look at actual code

#

Ah nvm this isn't even directly related to the code

#

I think you're just starting too many threads

#

Also related to you using Windows it seems

grizzled wraith Jan 24, 2024, 10:29 AM

#

It did work with windows python before, but with python from the official website, it doesn't work anymore

You're on Python 3.12 I assume?

Yep

turbid otter Jan 24, 2024, 10:31 AM

#

I believe downgrading Python is the easiest solution here

grizzled wraith Jan 24, 2024, 10:32 AM

#

Gotcha. I will try it with 3.10

Did you check if you're allowed to scrape the site?

grizzled wraith Jan 24, 2024, 10:33 AM

#

What do you mean with "allowed"?

shut rapids Did you check if you're allowed to scrape the site?

Laws & TOS's

Discussion of anything that breaks the law or violates a TOS is not allowed. This includes account creation bots, scam bots, purchase automation bots, DDoS, RATs, etc.

turbid otter Jan 24, 2024, 10:34 AM

#

grizzled wraith What do you mean with "allowed"?

You could be sued for scraping the site because that's against their tos and the site owners are also committing crimes

#

Moral of the story: Whenever you are asked if you are allowed, you simply say "Yes, I'm a security researcher exploring attack vectors on behalf of the site owner"
