Did two things, a) gave the user all rights which removed the timeout
b) removed the slash before the folder name "/Flightrecorder/" to "Flightrecorder" so it didn't try to write where it wasn't allowed to. Workaround, maybe you could include a catch for these particular stupids of mine.

Now it downloads 1 video and fails. sigh

Same issue for me :(

I'm getting the same 504 Gateway timeout, but the content is actually successfully downloading and the file appears in the output directory.

[tfoote]

After some debugging it appears that the 504 request comes back when the request is deemed too large by the NVR and that it will return a smaller thumbnail sized (640x360) videos as a fallback. Switching to use the hourly option with my 2K camera in a timelapse fetch has allowed me to download the timelapses at full resolution without the 504 error. I then have to stitch them together afterwards.

Yea since the maintainer isn't answering i consider this abandoned and defunct.
