Hello, I noticed that there are https://www.instagram.com/reel/C-9uRJ1xR3m This link cannot be extracted, but the video can be played normally, but other Ins can extract it. What is the reason for this
@KwiatekMiki commented on GitHub (Sep 3, 2024):
can people start not ignoring the template
@wukko commented on GitHub (Sep 3, 2024):
no sorry reading is hard
@lpwyz commented on GitHub (Sep 3, 2024):
This is not a template, I found that the video links of this author cannot be extracted
I noticed that some videos on Instagram cannot be downloaded, such as the following:

@wukko commented on GitHub (Sep 3, 2024):
some instagram videos may not be downloadable because instagram gatekeeps anonymous access to them
in the future, please use an appropriate issue template and FILL IT OUT
@lpwyz commented on GitHub (Sep 3, 2024):
Okay, I understand now. Thank you. I will submit the correct template for feedback in the future
@lpwyz commented on GitHub (Sep 3, 2024):
But it's strange, the two links I posted above are both videos published by the same author. Previously, this author's videos could be downloaded on Cobalt, but now they can't be downloaded
@wukko commented on GitHub (Sep 3, 2024):
for example, i can't even view any of your links in a regular browser:

to fix this, i'd need to log in.
in case (and scale) of cobalt, it'd require a bunch dummy accounts. we think it's a little unreasonable at this time.
@lpwyz commented on GitHub (Sep 3, 2024):
I understand what you mean, I understand. I'm curious to ask if it's because the author has set any permissions for publishing videos that led to this. I remember before, Cobalt could access information about this author, such as setting up a login account for sharing videos, or is this the default rule of Instagram
@wukko commented on GitHub (Sep 3, 2024):
not a clue tbh, i don't use instagram myself
