Can't download video from private profile #284

Open sarmong opened 4 years ago

sarmong commented 4 years ago

I successfully log in, then run instalooter post <url>

I get the following message instalooter.cli[5650] NOTICE Starting download of <url>

And then the execution stops and I'm back to bash prompt. Directory is empty.

I'm using version 2.4.2 from Homebrew.

P.S. I do have access to the private profile from my account.

This is trying to download images of the 'self' private account, which was also used to log instalooter in.
