No GIF URL available

Error message

No GIF URL available

What it means

Thrown in BlueskyDownloader::download for MediaType::Gif when available_qualities is empty, so no GIF URL exists to download. Like the HLS case, it indicates a MediaInfo whose media_type claims a GIF but carries no quality entries.

Solutions

1. Ensure at least one VideoQuality with the Tenor GIF URL is present before download().
2. Re-run get_media_info on the original post URL to rebuild the MediaInfo.
3. Skip download and report 'no GIF URL' gracefully in the caller.

Example fix

// before
let info = MediaInfo { media_type: MediaType::Gif, available_qualities: vec![], .. };
// after
let info = MediaInfo { media_type: MediaType::Gif,
    available_qualities: vec![VideoQuality { label: "original".into(), url: gif_url, format: "gif".into(), .. }], .. };

if info.media_type == MediaType::Gif && info.available_qualities.first().map_or(true, |q| q.url.is_empty()) {
    return Err(anyhow!("GIF MediaInfo has no url; refetch via get_media_info"));
}

fn has_gif_url(info: &MediaInfo) -> bool {
    matches!(info.media_type, MediaType::Gif)
        && info.available_qualities.first().map_or(false, |q| !q.url.is_empty())
}

match downloader.download(&info, &opts, tx).await {
    Err(e) if e.to_string() == "No GIF URL available" => {
        eprintln!("GIF url missing; refetching info");
        let fresh = downloader.get_media_info(&original_url).await?;
        downloader.download(&fresh, &opts, tx).await
    }
    other => other,
}

When it happens

Trigger: download() called with a GIF-typed MediaInfo whose available_qualities vec is empty — e.g. built manually or stripped by a filter.

Common situations: Custom tooling constructing MediaInfo for Tenor GIFs without populating the url, or code clearing qualities after a failed prefetch.
