Describe the bug Videos on twitter download just fine, same goes for gifs from reddit. but gifs from twitter aren't downloading for some reason. It just says "downloading metadata" then disappears after(I assume) it finishes downloading the metadata.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Go to any gif on twitter
Try to download that gif. This is what I was trying to download.
metadata downloads but doesn't show up in the download queue.

Expected behavior gif should be downloaded

Additional info

OS: Windows 10
Application version: 2.3.1. version 2.4.0. has a bug that won't allow you to download anything.
Application type: I tried both portable and the downloader and the same problem is in both

I'm able to download it without issue. The only thing is that OVD is saving it as a video file instead of a gif.
