Media missing for favourites #59

Closed frainz-de closed 3 years ago

In the HTML output, pictures attached to boosted toots are shown but those attached to favourited ones are not. Instead, a little question mark is shown. Instead of a file: uri, it points to a string like this:

See the following screenshot from the favourites collection for an example. The top post was also boosted so the image is there but the bottom one was only favourited. Screenshot_2020-07-16 frainz

The base64-encoded image is the little questionmark itself so I guess that the media just isn't downloaded when creating the archive.

Hm, the code seems to suggest that you can specify the collection for which the media subcommand will download media. Did you try that and it didn't work?

Something like this?

mastodon-archive media --collection=favourites kensanata@dice.camp

This seems to work. I think we should document it in the readme, I'll leave the issue open for that
