some instagram videos/posts don’t download

[NotADinosaur]

bug description

sometimes cobalt works with downloading from instagram and sometimes it doesn’t, I can’t tell if there’s any difference between the ones that work or not. other instagram-specific downloaders (e.g snapinsta.app) have no problems with the same posts.

(also you should capitalize the "i" but that’s not as much of an issue lol)

(ignore the content of the videos, they’re just random ones a friend sent me)

platform information

happens on both ios 17 safari and win10 chrome, I think it’s a problem with the site and not the browser

Still happens regularly even with the new version of Cobalt. e.g.

Same issue here e.g. with this reel:

(Download possible with https://snapinsta.app, so I think the issue depends on cobalt)
