Can the issue be linked here so we can all track the fix? If this is a dupe, I’ve looked up and down and can’t find the original.

For anyone new here, this guy closes countless issues as duplicates without any duplicate issue actually existing.

He will refuse to link the so-called duplicate issue or speak.

That’s just how this bug tracker goes.

@revolter the issue is that there’s no duplicate anywhere to be found, so nobody can track when it is being fixed or even if the issue is being worked on, priority etc.

Maybe, because of the huge number of open issue and work to be done, they really don’t have time to link all of the duplicates, even though they know which is which.

Since there is no fix available, you can try this simple bash downloading https://github.com/rouze-d/tiktok-download/ ^^no need of lolcat package

Thanks, I’ll try that.

Sure its working


$ bash tik.sh "https://www.tiktok.com/@markoterzo/video/6762207861918420230"
