@benmuth this is actually higher priority than the upgrade banner stuff, can you switch to working on this when you get a chance?

ArchiveBox's niche is being able to download a wide array of content into its raw constituent parts, and we've been needing a photo gallery downloading ability for a while!

Because this is a larger ticket I'm down to pay out more, I expect it to take a bit of work to prototype and test since it requires touching a lot of different parts of the codebase.

The process to add a new extractor is involved, but fairly well documented here: https://github.com/ArchiveBox/ArchiveBox#contributing-a-new-extractor

Let me know if you have any questions!

@pirate Should the media extractor also handle gallery-dl? I'm not sure if the media extractor is just an alias for youtube-dl or if it's supposed to handle other visual media as well.

Related: should gallery-dl config be controlled by the media options similar to the youtube-dl config? For example, should the default value for USE_GALLERYDL be determined by SAVE_MEDIA?

Check out my WIP PR for the new plugin system, I added a placeholder for gallerydl but it's not fleshed out yet.

Ah cool! Should I still keep working on a gallery-dl branch based off dev, or should I wait until the plugin system has merged?

Wait until the plugin system has merged @benmuth, thanks. sorry to interrupt your work
