Feature Request
Background:
Currently, TikTok video extraction in gallery-dl does not provide an option to download the video cover image directly. When using gallery-dl -J, the TikTok extractor returns the cover as video.originCover in the JSON response.
Requested Feature:
- Introduce a configuration key under the TikTok extractor section to enable downloading the video cover (originCover).
- When this key is enabled, the TikTok extractor should download and save the cover image alongside the video file.
Example:
{
"extractor": {
"tiktok": {
"cover": true
}
}
}Notes:
- The key should be clearly documented in the configuration options for the TikTok extractor.
- Implementation should fetch and save the
originCoverwhen the new config key is enabled. - Should maintain backward compatibility for users not enabling this option.
Motivation:
This feature will allow users to easily download TikTok video covers for archiving, preview, or cataloging purposes without post-processing JSON results manually.
