Question

I tried uploading a video file to instagram with the following code

      OkHttpClient httpClient = IGUtils.defaultHttpClientBuilder()
          .build();
      IGClient client = IGClient.builder()
          .username(u)
          .password(p)
          .client(httpClient)
          .login();
      MediaConfigureToIgtvResponse response = client.actions()
          .igtv()
          .upload(videoFile, coverFile, title, caption)
          .get();

Pretty simple. The video file is uploaded in segments.

Here is a part of the logs showing the upload:

{"debug_info":{"retriable":true,"type":"PartialRequestError","message":"Partial request (did not match length of file)"}}

There is a PartialRequestError. Don't know if this is part of the problem, beause after the last segment it says:

Seems fine for the video upload. But then it tries to upload the cover image and there is the ultimate error:

So it might be the cover image upload that has errors? What is the "handle" that is missing?

Is there anything I can do?
