google-photos-backup: Timeout
Super cool project! I am looking forward to using this versus processing one of the Google takeouts.
I got about halfway through thousands of photos and ran into an issue. I have read Issue #4 .
- I have a wired 300/300 mbps connection that I can see is not saturated.
- I installed Cloudflare WARP
- I have 75GB of disk free
- If I run
node setup.js, Google Photos opens up fine. I am logged in and able to browse. - It always fails on this one file.
I immediately run this and get:

It will be tough since I don’t have corrupt videos or images in my Google photo. So I will not be able to test thoroughly. However, I will add some logic.
@dakahler @dajhorn @calz1 Please check the latest code. It will try to download, and on the error, it will skip that URL. (as long as it has a left arrow).
It will also use the installed
chromeinstead of the Chorium browser.I had a couple more of those apparently corrupt photos as indicated by the exclamation mark. I deleted them and it made it several more months, though now I think I encountered a slightly different problem with a corrupt video. Even though it was uploaded over a decade ago, Google thinks it is still processing and won’t let me download. I am going to delete it but it would be cool if these were skipped or threw a warning.
