The old fashion python3 -m mediascraper.instagram sigridupdating is out of date. Please git pull and try python3 m-scraper.py rq instagram sigridupdating. Thank you.

Ok so it worked but the file format is .net

[elvisyjlin]

Have you git pull again? I should have fixed it.

Thanks, it worked and even download videoes but I notice that it even download thumbnails of videos too

[elvisyjlin]

That is how it works. In case someone wants the thumbnails. You can just delete them.
