Screenshot somehow failed on some websites / Shell command abnormal code #20

Hey! I am trying to use your program to download ~2k screenshots, running it for ~150 links at a time. For some websites it just doesn't work, saying both "Screenshot somehow failed" and "Shell command PID ---- returned abnormal error code '1' ". I ran it with xvfb, without xvfb, with -vv, without -vv. The websites that don't work aren't consistent; if I run it now, I might get 5/31 (list with links that fail), if I run it again, I might get 4 or 6. Also, running it with -m only helps with some of the websites, still remaining a handful of them that don't work on either :443 and :80. I have the latest PhantomJS version, I have installed webscreenshot from pip and I also cloned the repo, ran it both ways a number of times. The network I'm connected to does not have any restrictions. The webiste list is composed of the few thousand beggining link from Alexa top 1mil.

Hello @kryogenyk,

For a lot reasons related to PhantomJS, results might sometime not be consistent. Could you try the latest webscreenshot version with different renderers (Chrome etc.) ?

Cheers.
