KeyError: 'player'

[kafuku1]

I'm having issues with the latest release of the tool. Everytime I run it this error appears. I've looked for the same error but I didn't find any solution.

I'm running into the same issue.

I installed by cloning the repo and copying the python script to my /usr/local/bin and then ran tumblr_backup.py blogname. I didn't run with any special flags and I brew installed both youtube-dland pyexiv2 locally.

Here's an untested patch that attempts to make the video/audio save/embed code more robust.
I don't know Python as well as I know C++, so standard disclaimer if it doesn't work.

These instructions seem to be necessary here:
Here is where I've explained how to apply a patch.
See also diff on Wikipedia and the man page for GNU patch.

@kafuku1 @themcny Is it possible to get the full command that was run (including blog name)? I'd like to try to test @cebtenzzre's patch, but don't know what specific payloads are causing the problem.

[agcarter]

I'm having what looks like the same issue. I used my blog (tumblr_backup.py frogeyedape) if you want to test it.

I'm a total newbie to both python and github, so please let me know if there's any other information I need to add.
