Sorry for late reply, I was everywhere but home most of the august.

It's mostly thanks to this thread. If I was alone I would probably stop at the first version that displayed comments in some readable way. It's the feeling that someone expects it to continue that pushes it forward, slowly but surely.
> Not a problem. I suppose the simplest thing would be to stash the other files in a folder.
That haven't even occurred to me but it sounds good, I just hope there won't too many problems with differing file paths because of that.
> Not a biggie. Considering how long depreciated HTML code still works I wouldn't think this would be a issue
I know it's not much of a problem, I just wanted it to be done "right", but you are right it doesn't matter that much and it can always be changed.
> I tested it in several browsers. Works fine in Palemoon, Firefox, Seamonkey, Midori. Heck, the comments even display fine (but not the video of course) in good old Netsurf.
Oh, that's neat, I only checked it in chrome and Firefox because they're pretty much the only existing HTML engines anymore. But it's good to know it works in the older browsers as well, what I meant by hoping it's not broken was the script because it's not very "testable" right now and I was afraid there will be some critical bug making it useless.

You are tough, I can't even imagine using some of my spare computers from ~2007. Feels good to be on this with someone unstoppable like this.

> unstable my internet connection
That shouldn't hopefully be problem ever, as every download goes over new connection and it can resume from last completed avatar (+ the files for download are very small). But it's a good thing it holds that well, my max download test was around 1800~ avatars I think.
> TBH, not sure you wanted or need these but I thought it would be a good idea to at least upload some.
They are definitely very interesting, especially the notes with intentions, as they give insights on how is the program used. You don't need to upload every single one ever made but they definitely won't hurt.

> Okay, now, this ain't much. Just two lines of code in some mock up attempt to add a video conversion function to the script
Eh, the entire thing is a kind of mock up to be honest. Some parts will need to be fixed.
> Not sure if this is the route you want to go or if I am overlooking something completely obvious here.
The original plan was to have configuration that would take care of this. You could almost say it would be "scripting the script". You would set commands to execute when something like this happens, I'm not even sure how feasible it will be so I wouldn't say you were overlooking much.

I took a look at the changes you made and I think that os.system is good enough as we can get return code for error checks.

And for the new path return... well it would be more complicated, it gets written to HTML on line 157 in (__writeVideoLink()) but the design of the function haven't expected changes to the filename. However, as browsers are very forgiving we can just always append one .mp4 version even if it's not necessary and the browser will just skip it if it's 404 and use whatever it finds and can play. I just changed the renaming part in your os.system call, so it won't cut out filename if there's more than one dot. I'll think about getting some better way of doing this in next update.

The included patch is very lightly tested but it worked for me.
> I did try to do some more complex alterations to the script but it only broke things
Yeah, I fully believe that. I'll try to fix it a bit to make it more edit friendly without the need to know entire code base.
> Here is a test where I just traced the thisponydoesnotexist picture you had and put a question mark on it. Is this along the lines of what you are thinking?
Yes, I think it looks amazing, I love it!
