Are there limits on the number of video downloads?

[doolez]

I am using the following code via a Windows Command Prompt terminal. When I first started, I got around 658 videos downloaded from the camera specified. This number would include a small group (~9) of videos with random early dates much older than the consecutive videos it downloaded. After deleting the downloaded videos (except those random older ones) from my phone's Blink app, when I tried again, it would only download the exact same small group of videos with early dates. If I change the camera name, it started to work again for the new camera, but it did not download as much (~200-300 videos) from that camera before it started acting like the first camera and downloading a small group (~4-5) of random old videos.

Is there a video download limit for a certain timeframe perhaps? Has anyone else encountered this? Do I need to tweak my code below perhaps? I suspect this may be user error more because I am not familiar with Python yet or maybe it is a clash between versions of what I have installed. I would appreciate any help or guidance on how to get this working without the arbitrary download limit.

Local Setup

• Windows 10 Pro
• Python 3.12.3 (python3) / Python 3.9.6 (py)
• blinkpy 0.22.77 (pip list / pip freeze / pip show blinkpy)

Code

Sensitive variables blanked out for privacy purposes. I discovered that the Auth approach was causing issues, so I commented it out and was able to get better results with some downloads. If I use Python 3.9.6 with the py command, then it crashes with similar errors as those shown in the Auth terminal output section. If I use Python 3.12.3 with the python3 command, then I get better results, but it still crashes.

import asyncio
from aiohttp import ClientSession
from blinkpy.blinkpy import Blink
from blinkpy.auth import Auth
from datetime import datetime, timedelta

USER = ""
PASS = ""
OUTDIR = "blink"
CAMERA_NAME = ""

async def start():
  blink = Blink(session=ClientSession())
  #auth = Auth({"username": USER, "password": PASS}, no_prompt=True)
  #blink.auth = auth
  await blink.start()
  await blink.download_videos(OUTDIR, camera=CAMERA_NAME, since='2024/01/01 00:00', delay=2)
  return blink

blink = asyncio.run(start())

Terminal Output with Auth

If I paste the code above into the terminal window after running python, when the program stops I am left only with >>>.

If I run the code above with py code.py instead of pasting it into the terminal window, when the program stops, I see the following. Perhaps this yields some clues?
