Other users are having this issue too I will look into it

[alexlaverty]

I've pushed a code change to make the screenshot timeouts configurable which you can change in settings.py :

Try increasing the timeout value and see if that helps at all, maybe set it to 100000 :

comment_screenshot_timeout = 30000

https://github.com/alexlaverty/ttsvibelounge/blob/main/config/settings.py#L47

Also if you want to debug more you can change headless mode to False :

        browser = p.chromium.launch(headless=False)

https://github.com/alexlaverty/ttsvibelounge/blob/main/comments/screenshot.py#L36

If you change to false, when you run the script the browser will be visible and you can watch it and see if it's getting stuck on something.

Also @anhdodotnet you might want to test this out as well

The reason for the error is opening the picture on this topic, so it does not find the comments, for example, the link I gave above opens this link and stays there, which causes an error https://i.redd.it/44f6wgzexwu91.png

I haven't tried your last commit. I found where the error came from before, but I did not have the opportunity to write to you. I will try your latest update now I'm a little busy these days, I'll edit my comment again when I try

I do have the same issue, with repo pulled today.

I did change the timeout setting in the conf/settings,py file, made it to 100000, but I still have the Timeout 30000ms message.

[johnnyvng]

I got the same error here.

[sebbourgeois]

@alexlaverty I usually run this script on a Linux server, so headless. To try to understand what was happening, I started running it on my Windows computer, without headless.

From what I saw, from time to time, the pages are displayed without the dark mode, and that's what is causing the issue. So I went back on my Linux server, switched the theme from dark to None, and it was able to generate the video.

Hope this helps !

[johnnyvng]

I pulled the latest version as he fixed the error timeout on Linux but good to know.
