I am using mediaType - all - and no videos are returning for the most recent 45 posts.

Thanks

On further investigation - when using mediaType - all - on larger accounts, I mostly get back all photos, even if they have recent videos. But if I use mediaType - video - I get back the videos that were left out of the 'all' query, though sometimes they are out of order.

I'm now working around in my code by firing 2 queries, one with mediaType - photo - and the other with mediaType - video - concatenating the results, sorting descending by timestamp, and taking the top desired objects in array.
