thumbnails and banners for webtoon extractor don't work

[Aces-and-Jacks]

When I do:

			"banners": true,
			"thumbnails": true,

I get, error ':' URLs are not supported/enabled, error Failed to download. Is there something else I need to include?
I'm using https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/consumed-by-the-shadows/phone/viewer?title_no=1090320&episode_no=4 to test it.

Also I was wondering if you'd be able to help me with somehow writing down information from -K to either a .txt file or a .json file, whichever works better. Currently I have:

			"metadata-url": "file_url",
			"write-metadata": false,
			"metadata-filename": ["{category}", "{comic_name} ({comic})", "Meta", "({episode})_{title}.metadata"],

			"write-info-json": false,
			"info-json-filename": ["{category}", "{comic_name} ({comic})", "Meta", "({episode})_{title}.info.json"],

			"write-tags": false,
			"tags-filename": ["{category}", "{comic_name} ({comic})", "Meta", "({episode})_{title}.tags"],

			"log": {
				"type": "file",
				"filename": "{category}/{comic_name} ({comic})/Meta/({episode})_{title}.tags.log",
				"level": "info",
				"format": "{asctime} {levelname} {message}",
				"format-date": "%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"
				},

I have everything set to falso since none were working. I've tried looking through the GitHub, like docs/configuration.html, docs/gallery-dl.conf, and docs/gallery-dl-example.conf along with some of the discord issues, but I couldn't really understand it to get what I wanted. If you need the rest of my config I can post the rest as well.

No, this is "just" broken at the moment.

none were working

None of these options exist and webtoons doesn't provide tags.

You need a metadata postprocessor for this:

{
    "extractor": {
        "webtoons": {
            "postprocessors": {
                "name": "metadata/json@init",
                "directory": "Meta",
                "filename": "({episode})_{title}.info.json"
            }
        }
    }
}

"log"

Per-extractor logging options aren't supported (yet)

banners only works for a comic / series URLs, by the way:

$ gallery-dl -o banners=1 https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/consumed-by-the-shadows/list?title_no=1090320
./webtoons/consumed-by-the-shadows/banner.jpg

None of these options exist

In blob/master/docs/options.md write-metadata, write-info-json do exist, unless you meant just for webtoons it doesn't exist.

$ gallery-dl -o banners=1 https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/consumed-by-the-shadows/list?title_no=1090320
./webtoons/consumed-by-the-shadows/banner.jpg

I did what you typed, gallery-dl -o banners=1 https://www.webtoons.com/en/canvas/consumed-by-the-shadows/list?title_no=1090320, and a banner image did load for canvas. Though I did type it incorrectly I think, so thank you for that.

Also thank you for your help with the metadata portion. For a while afterwards I was stuck with the info.json file being nested under the main download directory which I had as "{category}", "{comic_name} ({comic})", "Episodes", "({episode})_{title}" when I wanted it under "{category}", "{comic_name} ({comic})", "Meta", however I didn't include that part when posting so that's my bad. But I figured out doing it as "..","..","Meta" works.

So I ended up with:

{
    "extractor": {
        "webtoons": {
        "directory": {
            "": ["{category}", "{comic_name} ({comic})", "Episodes", "({episode})_{title}"]
            },
        "postprocessors": {
            "name": "metadata/json@init",
            "directory": ["..","..","Meta"],
            "filename": "({episode})_{title}.info.json"
            }
        }
    }
}

Including the code part in case anyone else has similar trouble with metadata for webtoons

[mikf]

In blob/master/docs/options.md write-metadata, write-info-json do exist, unless you meant just for webtoons it doesn't exist.

These are command-line options like --write-info-json, which are different from configuration file options.

I'm having another issue with banners at the moment. Since it's still a little in line with getting banners and metadata to work I'll ask here. But if you want me to continue anything else in discussions I can do that. I hadn't realized that was enabled.

Part of my current config is now like this:

{
	"extractor": {
		"webtoons": {
			"archive": "gallery-dl/{category}/{comic}/Meta/{comic} - archive.sqlite3",

			"directory": {
				"type == 'banner'": ["{category}", "{comic}", "Meta", "Banner"],
				"": ["{category}", "{comic}", "Episodes of_{comic_name}_({comic})", "({episode})_{title}"]
			},
			"filename": {
				"type == 'banner'": "{title_no}_{filename}_{type}.{extension}",
				"": "{title_no}_{episode}-{num:>04}_{filename}_({title})_{num:>04}.{extension}"
			"banners": true,
			"write-info-json": true,
			"postprocessors": [
				{
				"name": "zip",
				"compression": "store",
				"extension": "cbz",
				"filename": "({episode})_{title}.cbz",
				"filter": "extension not in ('zip', 'rar')",
				"keep-files": true
				},
				{
				"name": "metadata/json@init",
				"directory": ["..", "..", "Meta"],
				"filename": "({episode})_{title}.info.json"
				}
			]
		}
	}

But for banner metadata it's appearing as (None)_None.info.json.
I tried adding:

{
				"name": "metadata/json@init",
				"directory": ["..","..","Meta"],
				"filter": "item.get('type') != 'banner'",
				"filename": "{title_no}_{type}.info.json"
				}

Provided using ai to try and make the banner one different but it didn't work. I know it's something that likely isn't proper, just wanted to show what I tried doing. So I was wondering if you knew of a possible way to make (None)_None.info.json show as {title_no}_{type}.info.json? Since it's currently using ({episode})_{title}.info.json.

I was also wondering if there was a way to make banners not download as a cbz. With my current config, because I have baners as a directory and filename it also makes it a cbz file. Any edits I tried making to the cbz part makes the whole process not work.

And if it's possible to have banners nested in "..","..","Meta" without having to specify the directory as I have it now.

Disable category-transfer and use subcategory options.

This here should work:

{
    "extractor": {
        "webtoons": {
            "archive": "gallery-dl/{category}/{comic}/Meta/{comic} - archive.sqlite3",
            "category-transfer": 0,

            "comic": {
                "directory": ["{category}", "{comic}", "Meta", "Banner"],
                "filename" : "{title_no}_{filename}_{type}.{extension}",
                "banners": true,

                "postprocessors": [
                    {
                        "name": "metadata/json@init",
                        "directory": [".."],
                        "filename": "({title_no})_{type}.info.json"
                    }
                ]
            },
            "episode": {
                "directory": ["{category}", "{comic}", "Episodes of_{comic_name}_({comic})", "({episode})_{title}"],
                "filename" : "{title_no}_{episode}-{num:>04}_{filename}_({title})_{num:>04}.{extension}",

                "postprocessors": [
                    {
                        "name": "zip",
                        "compression": "store",
                        "extension": "cbz",
                        "filename": "({episode})_{title}.cbz",
                        "filter": "extension not in ('zip', 'rar')",
                        "keep-files": true
                    },
                    {
                        "name": "metadata/json@init",
                        "directory": ["..", "..", "Meta"],
                        "filename": "({episode})_{title}.info.json"
                    }
                ]
            }
        }
    }
}

That worked. Thank you very much for your help. I'll switch to using the discussions tab now instead of the issues tab for config help
