the recent chrome update (version 130) has broken this extension.
see crxjs/chrome-extension-tools#918.
the fix turns out to be a single line change in the manifest "use_dynamic_url": false.
(this is patched only in dist, not in src! but this problem should go away in the next chrome version anyway).

this problem may not affect every account.
i've only noticed it because i logged into my second account and saw that download buttons were missing on post pages.
for some reason, the aria label of the save button was Save on one account and Save Post on the other.
i changed the query for this button to work in both cases.

i've noticed yesterday that downloading from highlight stories did not work.
not sure for how long this was broken.
anyway, i made changes to the functions that find the story container and the story index and looks to be working again,

a recent update by Instagram has slightly broken my lookup of the share button.
i've fixed it by querying for the aria-label instead of indirectly searching for polygon elements. should be more robust.

this has been broken for a while now and i apologize for not releasing this fix earlier.

v1.3.23 - fixed video downloads by switching to shortcode__web_info data

seems like social-media posting is not reliable anymore, so i switched to the method of looking up the script tag which contains the string xdt_api__v1__media__shortcode__web_info and has all the urls
(see https://github.com/flurrux/insta-loader/blob/master/app/src/data-extraction/directly-in-browser/shortcode-web-info/shortcode_media_script.ts).

can't wait for it to break.

v1.3.22 - fixed video-downloads

this error was caused by the username-lookup which returned null.
the social-media posting has an author property and i've assumed that author.identifier was not null, but that turned out to be false.
there is another property alternateName that seems to have the username as well, so i'm using it as a fallback value and so far it appears to be working.

v1.3.21 - fixed wrong download paths

this release should fix #45, a bug that caused an image to be downloaded to the wrong folder if any other person was tagged in the image.
my previous query for the username was not robust enough. let's hope the new method fares better.

v1.3.20 - fixed mainfeed problems

this release should fix #43.
the two problems were:

  • download buttons were not placed correctly in main feed posts
  • downloading images would always fail

both problems were caused by changes in the DOM and broke some query selectors.
i have adjusted them and all seems to be working again.

v1.3.19 - fixed missing download buttons in stories

this release should take care of #42.
it was caused by a slight change in the DOM from Instagram that broke the query selector which looked for the play button in stories.
