Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

I cannot download videos at the pornstar level on GitHub.

[Hrxn]

Not implemented yet?

[ipkpjersi]

Oh, I didn't know this wasn't implemented. Are there any plans to implement this?

[ipkpjersi]

So I guess that's a no..?

[Hrxn]

Not necessarily.. 😄

[tarnationfiend]

Slightly related but are you able to download a channel? I've been having issues and managed it just once

[parmjitv]

Hi @tarnationfiend,

Support for PornHub channels was added some time ago - see issue #15613.

You should be able download all channel videos as a single playlist by passing in a URL of the form:

https://www.pornhub.com/channels/russian-tgirls/videos

Cheers,

Hi @ipkpjersi,

Looks like we need to add support for non-verified pornstar video collections - a new PR will be submitted shortly to address this.

Cheers,

Parmjit V.
