Without changing or updating anything, auto-downloading videos just stopped working properly. It only downloads a thumbnail jpg of the video, instead of the mp4 video itself.

That's on xinsta 2.0.2 and instagram 34.0.0.12.93
[Xposed Framework Modules] menkey:
I'm getting Action Blocked messages when liking pictures. Xinsta 2.0.2 and v36.0.0.13.91
[Xposed Framework Modules] madd0g:
Yeah, seems to be a backend change, no downloads for videos.
[Xposed Framework Modules] KaMyKaSii:
For those who use the module currently, is it possible to download live replay?
[Xposed Framework Modules] yo_honey:
Yes

I m running instagram app version 36.0.0.13.91 with latest xinsta

downloading stories doesn't work anymore
[Xposed Framework Modules] silver2004:
Hello, today i've noticed a sad thing, downloading photos not working anymore :(

Checked and there is plenty of free disk space, so it's not the issue.

Checked XInsta's settings, updated hooks, no fix found there.

I've checked the newer Instagram app as someone recommended here, signed to the beta program and

on the newest version (38.0.0.7.95) it's also not working. Previously i've had 37.0.0.21.97.

Also tried older apk, restarted phone after install so the xposed module can load (don't know if it's needed

when switching apk versions? is the module activated and active even if i reinstall app or is reboot necessary?)

So, on older Instagram's version (37.0.0.9.97) also not working.

I was testing it on the same photo i was able to download some days ago.

First swipe to seek YouTube module stopped working today, now this very useful module :(
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
Instagram is rolling out URL signature changes once again (Post after 6 PM EST seem to be affected). I am assuming they found the bypass I have been using. I am looking for a solution, but so far have not had any luck. URL signatures in their original state are downloadable. However, the size is limited to your device. So the signature instead of being 750x750, might be 320x320. This caused a lot of issue for low resolution devices in the past and was the reason for the last few years XInsta has implemented a bypass to get full resolution images/videos. If I don't find a bypass I will have to make XInsta download the original URL (Will be size dependent on device).

But why xinsta directly download instead extract from cache?

Isn't more easy?

I'm not a developer, is just my idea
[Xposed Framework Modules] jcarter3729:
We have to download the photos manually?
[Xposed Framework Modules] madd0g:
StorySave also works. Although the power of xinsta is in push auto-downloading which no other app has. Any progress with the workaround?

Its actually disrespectful to go into one dev's thread and post about other dev's thread/development.

The module suddenly stopped working. Nothing is loaded. How can I fix this?

Instagram version 34.0.0.12.93, Xinsta version 2.0.2. Hooks updated.

Developer is working on the fix. Just be patient, as the update should be rolling out soon.

[Xposed Framework Modules] super-drone:
well I'm using the stable version 37 and only profile picture zoom and download images/videos are broken, I heard people saying the feed was messed up but I didn't face that, maybe it's because they're using instagram alpha or beta, I recommend stick to stable one
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
I wanted to give an update on the matter since I have gotten quite a few messages and emails regarding this issue. The current fix is to use the original URL and be restricted to the devices sizes/DPI, which dictates the image/video size provides by Instagram. So instead of getting a full resolution (1080x1080) image/video you might get a 640x640 image/video. This is all done on Instagram's end with it's API. In terms of some proposed fixes they are not solutions. For example, the cache is going to have the same size image/video (Because I am getting the URL Instagram is using).

Unofficial API options are not a solution for private accounts and due to Instagram new stance on unofficial API usage (Breaking things and preventing them). The goal/solution at the moment is to just hook Instagram and see if I can make Instagram request higher resolution image/video. This may be by making a device look like a tablet to Instagram's API request for example (Big screen - Higher Resolution Images/Videos). I will be releasing an update either way tonight with bug fixes. If I am able to find a solution I will implement it in the update. Otherwise I will be having XInsta download from original URLs (May be scaled depending on device).
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
Please attach your Xposed log (Xposed -> Logs) that includes you opening Instagram and clicking the three dot icon where the download option should be. Thank you.
[Xposed Framework Modules] CorynMidori:

I got it to work by updating the hooks, but I cant update the save location. I keep getting a message saying to kill the app, even when I closed it from the recent apps, force stopped it, restarted the phone without opening IG, and got the same message every time. I want to keep the downloaded images separate from my personal IG pictures
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
The message after changing your save location is always the same. As long as you kill the Instagram app once or reboot you will be fine.
[Xposed Framework Modules] exclusivo:
Sweet, just realized it worked.
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
This will be addressed in the next update to fix confusion. I apologize about the hassle.
[Xposed Framework Modules] mondohow:

Just an FYI..

I've just updated to v7.0.0 from ApkMirror, updated hooks in xInsta and it works just fine. Downloaded photos and video just like normal on my N5.

Filename Naming Convention

First off, I can't thank you enough for continuing to work on this... It has been so helpful and easy to use, it's a must have for any user!

Now the reason I wanted to post was because I was wondering if you would consider using the naming convention hat was used in Mohammed's module: username_filenumber_userid.jpg (at least I think that's what it was)?

I ask because I sometimes find myself downloading the same image/video more than once and if I have, the filename gets appended with a "-1", "-2", etc before the extension. Now this is very helpful because a simple search for the character "-" would reveal any duplicates because "-" is not a valid character for an Instagram username and therefore, I could delete all results from the search (the duplicates) while still keeping the file. While I like knowing the date and time that I downloaded the image/video I would find this much more useful and others may as well too.

If you would rather keep the current naming convention, maybe you could put an option in the UI for other preset conventions?

Again, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR ALL OF YOUR WORK!
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
Thank you for the suggestion. I would first like to apologize for this issue. I will do my best to correct it. I first have to get the new hooks for Instagram 7.1 and then I will start working on this suggestion.
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
The hooks have been updated for Instagram 7.1. Enjoy!
[Xposed Framework Modules] shadym1lkman:
Do I need to download a new version of xinsta.. is there a log on why the hooks arent working in 7.0.0? It worked yesterday and then today theres no DL option.

Thanks
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
That is strange. Can you attach your Xposed log (Xposed -> Logs)?
[Xposed Framework Modules] shadym1lkman:
After a little searching for the logs, i found that i hadn't updated the module. This seemed to be the issue, so with egg on my face id like to say thank you and sorry.

1.1c > 1.2
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
XInsta 1.2a is now out. A change you will quickly notice is the file name scheme has changed. I originally changed the file name scheme to be username_date. This however didn't allow you to know when duplicates existed and caused some issues. So the new scheme is username_itemid. The item ID is provided by the Instagram app, so you no longer have to deal with downloading duplicates. The item ID requires a new hooks, so please make sure to update you hooks after updating the module (Instagram 7.0+).

The next change has to do with choosing your save location. When you open your save location it defaults to your internal storage, but this confused some individuals. They felt like this mean't their save location didn't save. Now when you choose to change your save location it will open your current save location. This way you fully know the save location was changed properly.

I also fixes some of the sluggishness issues when downloading images/videos. This seemed to occur randomly for some, but constantly for other. The last thing I did was try to help new users. If you open the Instagram app without updating your hooks you now get a toast message telling you to update your hooks via the module. This will hopefully reduce the amount of post about the module not working.

If you encounter any issues or have an suggestion feel free to leave them. Enjoy the module!

I have found a solution that works well (Make Instagram API return high resolution images/videos). I am doing final testing on the solution to make sure it continues to work nicely across different devices. In terms of the people that are truly upset that a free module has been down for two days, remember the module is free and a hobby of mine. To the people that constantly ask why I don't accept donations this is the reason why. As long as everything continues to work nicely I will release the update in the next 2-3 hours.

Latest update works like an absolute charm, thank you so much iHelp! :good:
[Xposed Framework Modules] iHelp101:
XInsta 2.0.3 is now out! This updates resolves a lot of issues and bug. The first being direct message downloads. Direct messages that are not disappearing (In chat) had some issues downloading, but that is now resolved. We had some filename bugs as well that have been squashed. The main issue was when the "URL Format As Filename" option was enabled. Push notifications also had some issues due to some JSON changes. These are now resolved. The settings activity was having issues for a few users using Android 4.4 and lower. This is related to an older Android bug related to list that was resolved in recent versions.

Lastly, I implemented a fix for the new URL signatures enforcement. All posts/downloads will take advantage of this besides profile icons. This is because profile icons are supposed to be small, so Instagram will only provide them as 150x150. URL signatures are an interesting obstacle Instagram has thrown at this module and other projects. We will have to wait and see Instagram's next step. Please let me know if you have any issues with downloads. I tried to test as many devices as I could, but I always wish I had more to test with. Enjoy the module!

PS: I just want to remind everyone of the Xposed update bug that can cause Xposed to use a cached version of the module instead of the new APK. If this update does not fix your issue please uninstall XInsta, reboot, install XInsta, and reboot once more.
