Video only

[jbeck22]

I see there is an option to skip videos -- downloading ONLY photos...

Is there a way to ONLY download videos and skip photos?

I have a LOT of videos in my library and I would like to download all of the photos in one pass and then come back around and download the videos only afterwards.

This functionality doesn't exist in the icloud-photos-downloader, unfortunately.

@jbeck22 , wouldn't these all be found in "Videos" album?

I did this exact exercise due to the number of videos and my desire to at least get all my photos first (more important to me overall) and then circle back around.

So I did the skip videos and skip live photos (which would pull the live video file if not). I then came back, and did a run without the skip live videos (then got that small batch of video files for lives). Then came back a third time and did --album=Video (or if using the config file photo_album=Video

Refer your (lets say) iPhone library to ensure video album is Video or video.

Hope it helps.
