ModuleNotFoundError

I'm getting a "Module Not Found Error" running the latest 9.9 downloader

[ [43]ERROR ] [2024-07-19 | 23:56]: Unexpected error during Messages download: Traceback (most recent call last): File "download\common.py", line 151, in process_download_accessible_media File "download\media.py", line 202, in download_media File "fileio\dedupe.py", line 74, in dedupe_media_file File "fileio\fnmanip.py", line 71, in get_hash_for_image File "imagehash__init.py", line 272, in phash File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod02_importers.py", line 419, in exec_module File "scipy\fftpack__init.py", line 93, in File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod02_importers.py", line 419, in exec_module File "scipy\fftpack_basic.py", line 8, in File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod02_importers.py", line 419, in exec_module File "scipy\fft\init__.py", line 91, in File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod02_importers.py", line 419, in exec_module File "scipy\fft_fftlog.py", line 10, in File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod02_importers.py", line 419, in exec_module File "scipy\fft_fftlog_backend.py", line 4, in File "PyInstaller\loader\pyimod02_importers.py", line 419, in exec_module File "scipy\special\init__.py", line 807, in File "scipy\special\_ufuncs.pyx", line 17294, in init scipy.special._ufuncs ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'scipy.special._special_ufuncs'

How do I resolve this issue? The old 4.1 downloader works, just not for the .m328 or whatever video's are not downloaded

Windows 10, I have all of the updates for the OS

I'm having the same error on v0.9.9 on Windows 11.

now we play the waiting game. For all the smart people to solve the problem.

try using the python version, that one works :) I think @prof79 forgot to add the dependency when building the executable :/ there's a step-by-step guide provided by @recolier here on how to set up a python environment. Alternatively, try adding scipy==1.14.0 to the requirements.txt and then rebuilt the exe using the build.ps1 script - this should fix the dependency issue.

How does one "rebuilt the exe using the build.ps1 script"? Also the step-by-step guide provided by @recolier here on how to set up a python environment is down and inaccessible.

Wayback machine crawled that link, heres the quick URL to it

Being as he only has one comment on that mysteriously missing page, here it is in text just in case wayback gets DDOSed again (note Im just copy and pasting, hopefully its legible and links work)

Recoiler Worked with Python 3.10.11. Might work with another Python 3 version. Hopefully bulletproof instructions for Windows:

[Download the source code from latest release](http://web.archive.org/web/20241001085407/https://github.com/prof79/fansly-downloader-ng/releases)
a. Extract somewhere, remember this directory, I'll refer to it as YOUR_FANSLY_DL_DIR. I recommend to put it where your executable file is.
[Open up command prompt or Powershell](http://web.archive.org/web/20241001085407/https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/powershell/scripting/windows-powershell/starting-windows-powershell?view=powershell-7.4), Run the following command and replace with your directory.

cd YOUR_FANSLY_DL_DIR

[Create a virtual environment](http://web.archive.org/web/20241001085407/https://docs.python.org/3/library/venv.html). You should now see a prefix (.venv) in your terminal.
a. If Python 3.10 is your only/default python (can check with python -V)

python -m pip install virtualenv
python -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\activate

b. Otherwise:

py -3.10 -m pip install virtualenv
py -3.10 -m venv .venv
.\.venv\Scripts\activate

c. If you get an error at the first line for both saying something doesn't exist, if you're not tech savvy, reinstall Python and make sure to select the option to add to PATH.
Install requirements.

python -m pip install -r requirements.txt

Run the thing
