Description

It appears some pornstars do not have a valid page at /videos therefore the videos of them are unable to be downloaded. e.g. pornhub.com/pornstar/gabbie-carter/videos does not exist but her videos are listed at pornhub.com/pornstar/gabbie-carter

@twaddington hey, sorry to bother you again...
what is this guy's problem ?

#24950

It's clearly a playlist....

[Hrxn]

The URL starts with https://www.pornhub.com/view_video.php?viewkey=<key>, so it's probably not a playlist.

Hah, yeah. If I'm being generous, as the seemingly sole maintainer, he's overwhelmed by the amount of activity on this project and is struggling to keep up.

[twaddington]

@Hrxn the url has a pkey argument in the URL, which is a playlist key.

[Hrxn]

I'm aware. But see issue #11594, for example.

Playlists, according to https://www.pornhub.com/playlists, have a URL format of https://www.pornhub.com/playlist/<playlist-id>.

I don't think that support for a pkey argument is supported yet..
Has to be checked for _VALID_URL somewhere in pornhub.py.

Yes.

Right. That would be the fix for #24950.
