Version

2.47.3

Flavor

CLI (Command-Line Interface)

Platform

Ubuntu

Export format

HTML

Steps to reproduce

Export settings: --filter "from:userA | from:userB"
--media
--reuse-media

Steps:

  1. Run DiscordChatExporter CLI with a message filter enabled
  2. Wait until export reaches 100% completion.
  3. Open the generated HTML output. 4.The exported HTML appears to only contain part of the message history, and the export seems to stop partway through. Messages after that point are not included in the HTML.

Details

I am using a user token.

The environment uses HTTP_PROXY and HTTPS_PROXY environment variables for network requests.I am not sure whether this issue is caused by the proxy.

During export, some attachment files are created with 0 bytes. After deleting these files and rerunning the CLI, the images are downloaded correctly.
