save_video parameter #52

Thank you for this amazing module! It works perfectly on my Windows computer. I recently encountered an issue with the save_video parameter in the save_tiktok function (also with save_tiktok_multi_urls). Specifically, I only want to scrape the metadata to a large amount of TikTok videos, however the video is automatically downloaded as well even when I set the save_video to False. I have tried different browsers (e.g., Edge) and Python versions (3.10, 3.11, and 3.12).

pk.save_tiktok(video_url=link,
save_video=False,
metadata_fn='metadata.csv',
browser_name='chrome')

Any help would be much appreciated!

OK, should work now if you upgrade. Thanks for the issue.
