[Bug] Extended metadata dump changes quality of videos #99

Straight to the point, one of the differences that I was not expecting between the following 2 example commands: $ instaLooter -v -m -d -T "{datetime} {id} {code}" florida_air $ instaLooter -v -m -d -e -T "{datetime} {id} {code}" florida_air

Is that the second will download the videos with a smaller size and lower quality.

10.5MB vs. 6.5MB for the bigger video of that profile.

This is something I did not see. I guess the URLs are not the same in the Instagram front page and on the post page of the same video. So the -e flag should not actually expand if the media is found to be a video.
