Any way to add support for slideshows?

Do you have any example of a slideshow TikTok link?

i want slideshows aswell

yt-dlp which is what vxtiktok uses refuses to add slideshow support as its out of scope of supporting video downloads (see https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/6217). Suggested workaround as per that issue is use https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl

gallery-dl doesn't seem to list TikTok as a supported site, but I'll look into it. Another thing I considered is using yt-dlp's function which returns the raw TikTok API data, which is just a list of images

Whoops, thought gallery-dl had it based on this but nope.

I have some time this weekend so I can take a look at finally implementing this. The only question I have (since I don't frequently use TikTok) is if all 'slideshows' have music associated with them, or if some slideshows can have no music at all, because that might be a case I need to handle

Edit: while implementing this I will just assume all slideshows have audio

Some have no audio, but I'll be honest it's so rare that I don't think it's a case you need to worry about

Slideshows should be beginning to embed now. Please check and let me know

The audio cuts off after 5 seconds/3 slides with URL https://www.vxtiktok.com/t/ZT8JTMQ5r/. I expected that images would loop until audio ends.
