Almost all the commands I run with tiktok-scraper crash. The only two commands that throw error messages instead of crashing is the tiktok-scraper video and tiktok-scraper history.

I am using
Linux Mint 21.1 x86_64
NodeJs version v18.16.0
Scraper Version 1.4.36
CLI

I was generally having problems with the scraper. I ran many of the example commands with (what I believe) was their correct parameters.

tiktok-scraper user dani.movie -d -n 100 --session sid_tt=mySID
tiktok-scraper trend funny -d -n 100 --session sid_tt=mySID
tiktok-scraper hashtag funny -d -n 100 --session sid_tt=mySID

When I ran the commands above, all I would get is "TikTok Scraper startup" then a crash without any error message. After the crash I would have an empty directory with the name of the command following tiktok-scraper (the ID).

When I ran tiktok-scraper video .... I would get the following

aUser@DesktopMint:~/Desktop$ tiktok-scraper video https://www.tiktok.com/@dani.movie/video/7230833825545194779 sid_tt=mySID
Can't extract video metadata: https://www.tiktok.com/@dani.movie/video/7230833825545194779

When I ran tiktok-scraper history .... I would get the following

aUser@DesktopMint:~/Desktop$ tiktok-scraper history
History file doesn't exist

I am not running tiktok-scraper through any kind of vpn, vps or proxy. I have also done the obvious things (using different session sit_tt's from my browser while logged in to tiktok, choosing different videos/profiles/hashtags, deleting the program, restarting the computer).

Any idea what could be causing the issue/crash?
