The Replay function does no longer exist in the newest Instagram app versions, livestream videos that get saved are now IGTV videos which do not disappear after 24 hours.
Downloading of IGTV videos will not be implemented because there is no way to differentiate normal IGTV posts from posts that were originally a livestream and because they do not disappear after 24 hours like Replays would.
This script can still successfully download Replay videos that do get added by users still using an older version of the Instagram app.
Thank you!!

Question
Describe your question here as clear as possible.
Google Chrome extension "Downloader for Instagram™ + Direct Message" can play replays, but pyinstalive cannot download replays. In the past, the replay was the separation of video and audio files. Use Chrome extension to see that the replay is now a merged file.
