Media.ConfigureVideo fails to add caption

[lucars83]

I've been using instagram-private-api since April without issue. However starting last ~Wednesday (8/2/2017) none of my videos have had a caption. I did some testing last weekend but I was unable to figure out the problem.

The ConfigureVideo request succeeds but the caption is not added to the video.

I assume that the endpoint has changed and that the caption field has been renamed.

If anyone is willing to give me pointers on how to capture Instagram traffic I will take another look. Otherwise this bug looks beyond my ability.

@lucars83 i already know about this problem, will try to solve it as soon as possible.

@lucars83 you can try to configureVideo now. I updated this method to the contemporary parameters. Please let us know if you succeeded.

No joy. I ran v0.6.2 with node v6.11.2, I had to upgrade from 5.10.1. This morning the same thing happened, the request returned successfully but the caption was not added. Tonight I tried again and received the following {[ ParseError: Not possible to parse API response] name: 'ParseError', message: 'Not possible to parse API response', response: IncomingMessage { _readableState: ReadableState { objectMode: false, highWaterMark: 16384, buffer: [Object], length: 0, pipes: null, pipesCount: 0, flowing: true, ended: true, endEmitted: true, reading: false, sync: false, needReadable: false, emittedReadable: false, readableListening: false, resumeScheduled: false, defaultEncoding: 'utf8', ranOut: false, awaitDrain: 0, readingMore: false, decoder: null, encoding: null }, readable: false, domain: null, _events: { end: [Object], close: [Object], data: [Function], error: [Function] }, _eventsCount: 4, _maxListeners: undefined, socket: TLSSocket { _tlsOptions: [Object], _secureEstablished: true, _securePending: false, _newSessionPending: false, _controlReleased: true, _SNICallback: null, servername: null, npnProtocol: false, alpnProtocol: false, authorized: true, authorizationError: null, encrypted: true, _events: [Object], _eventsCount: 9, connecting: false, _hadError: false, _handle: null, _parent: null, _host: 'upload.instagram.com', _readableState: [Object], readable: false, domain: null, _maxListeners: undefined, _writableState: [Object], writable: false, allowHalfOpen: false, destroyed: true, _bytesDispatched: 128863, _sockname: null, _pendingData: null, _pendingEncoding: '', server: undefined, _server: null, ssl: null, _requestCert: true, _rejectUnauthorized: false, parser: null, _httpMessage: [Object], read: [Function], _consuming: true, _idleNext: null, _idlePrev: null, _idleTimeout: -1 }, connection: TLSSocket { _tlsOptions: [Object], _secureEstablished: true, _securePending: false, _newSessionPending: false, _controlReleased: true, _SNICallback: null, servername: null, npnProtocol: false, alpnProtocol: false, authorized: true, authorizationError: null, encrypted: true, _events: [Object], _eventsCount: 9, connecting: false, _hadError: false, _handle: null, _parent: null, _host: 'upload.instagram.com', _readableState: [Object], readable: false, domain: null, _maxListeners: undefined, _writableState: [Object], writable: false, allowHalfOpen: false, destroyed: true, _bytesDispatched: 128863, _sockname: null, _pendingData: null, _pendingEncoding: '', server: undefined, _server: null, ssl: null, _requestCert: true, _rejectUnauthorized: false, parser: null, _httpMessage: [Object], read: [Function], _consuming: true, _idleNext: null, _idlePrev: null, _idleTimeout: -1 }, httpVersionMajor: 1, httpVersionMinor: 1, httpVersion: '1.1', complete: true, headers: { 'content-type': 'text/html;

[IvanMMM]

@lucars83, I believe not. There will be a message telling you if you hit your API limitations.

[IvanMMM]

Anyway we'l need some packets captured before we'l we able to resolve it. My video captions are working fine.

[IvanMMM]

Need more info. Probably user-side bug, not module.
