Unsupported URL / JSONDecodeError

[coralof]

Hello, I have been trying to use gallery-dl to download sets from girlsreleased, but every version I try has some error.

I tried the version included in Debian 13's repos, and get the following when trying to download a set:

gallery-dl --verbose https://girlsreleased.com/set/18464

I also tried running the bin file downloaded directly from GitHub:

And the python3 version, installed via pip seems to think there is no module there at all.
