matrix channel download #1139

Hello,

This is a humble feature request. Please don't hesitate to close it if you deem it out of scope or otherwise inappropriate.

I would like to be able to use gallery-dl to pull all images from a matrix chat channel. An unencrypted matrix channels is "just" website, user name and password really. Our contractor dumped thousands of pictures of our house build into a matrix channel. Gallery-dl would be a great way to download them all!

Kind regards,

Mark

P.S. Thank you for your work on gallery-dl.

Adding support for matrix channels is definitely not out of scope, but I don't think this is going to happen before next year or even before 2.0.0. It would probably be better to look for other solutions if you need those images in the near future. Maybe a "simple" wget command if that is possible, or DownThemAll?

If it's indeed "just a website", then you should check if it has direct links, then it should be pretty easy to collect them all from within your browser (either via an extension or via Devtools)
