[BUG] After Uploading Reels ,Unable to Move Or Delete the File

[adityaa-codes]

After Uploading Reels, I'm Unable to Move/Delete the file, using the program or manually using the explorer this happens while the program is running , after the program is closed its seems to work, but sometimes i've to kill ffmpeg from task manager.

Error: Media:Reels Upload Failed With Error [WinError 32] The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process: 'F:\Personal\Projects\InstagramCore\Content\Schedule\Wednesday\Reels\one.mp4' PS: Same Error While Moviing/Deleting From Explorer

Move File Code: shutil.move(src, dest)

Upload Code: login_instance = Client() login_instance.load_settings(Path('device_settings/' + PAGE_USERNAME + '.json')) login_instance.set_locale(LOCALE) login_instance.set_timezone_offset(TIMEZONE_OFFSET) login_instance.set_country(COUNTRY) login_instance.set_country_code(COUNTRY_CODE) login_instance.set_user_agent(USER_AGENT) login_instance.set_uuids(UUIDS) login_instance.set_device(DEVICE_SETTINGS) login_instance.login(PAGE_USERNAME, PAGE_PASSWORD) login_instance.inject_sessionid_to_public() media = login_instance.clip_upload(path=Path(PATH), caption=caption, thumbnail=None)

Its happening in windows while program is still running

@adityaa-codes I haven't windows, can you fix it yourself?

Any updates on this? We have the same issue We got around it by starting reel upload in a subprocess, which removes the lock on the src files. result = subprocess.run([sys.executable, './uploadReelIg.py', ...)

@adw0rd checking if https://github.com/adw0rd/instagrapi/commit/32e65c6047be1ed13ea7c3c58ed400b5e7a12c09 fixed it

[BlackPhoenix134]

Can confirm, that commit fixed it
