[Feature] - Ability to save instagram lives #399

I don’t know if this is possible but I’d like to know. Many Instagram lives I’d like to be able to save with good quality video. Maybe even if you weren’t on at the time to view it live. Is this even possible?

It's possible as I've done it once. You obviously have to catch it within the subsequent 24h period it's available for re-viewing. I googled how to save Instagram live and eventually found a method that required a computer. I think it may have been a Google Chrome extension?

The key part I recall is you ended up with a video file and an audio file - separate. Someone posted a convoluted ffmpeg.exe command line that I used to successfully merge the A/V into 1 normal MP4 video file.

Maybe google for "chrome extension save Instagram live ffmpeg"
