instaloader VS yt-dlp

I've been archiving a number of accounts for at least 3 years now. I've mainly used https://instaloader.github.io/. Had no problem initially, but now it's pretty easy for an account I use to be suspended. I tried spacing out my downloads but it didn't help. Any thoughts or tips?

lol thank you, I used a script from github that does it automatically so it only takes a few seconds, I will keep updating this one but if somebody needs it for future archiving I used https://instaloader.github.io/

I can understand it could be doubtful if you only read that, but it uses instaloader for processing that specific data and it is completly open source, so you can check them out aswell if you think there's anything unclear about it. Thanks

I would start with python and a library like this one: https://instaloader.github.io/

This is what I use with great success. https://github.com/instaloader/instaloader

On Win10, I download the .exe from the latest release here: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2023.03.03.19419

For those who still have this issue and are on Windows and need a fix right now just go and download the "yt-dlp.exe" from here: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2023.03.01.19419

The issue is already fixed in the code so if you compile from the code your issue will be fixed. Personally though I just downloaded the daily build and that seemed to fix the issue https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp

Temporarily, you could also install the unofficial daily build of yt-dlp from here.

Get the latest unofficial build from here. 🙂

It seems Youtube did change something internally so the old yt-dlp exe file (which the Cinema mode uses) no longer works. Found a fix: Go here to download the latest yt-dlp exe file: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases/tag/2023.02.17.334. Then go to C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Beat Saber\Libs on your PC and replace the old yt-dlp.exe file with the new one you just downloaded. And it should fix Cinema mod. I just tried and it works for me now!

So, if you want this fix "as an .exe", just download the unofficial daily build from here, or compile yourself.

Have you tried the latest daily release? https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp/releases I had problems with throttling too, but switching to the daily release fixed it for me, you get the most recent fixes, but it might be not as stable, the original yt-dlp was updated a month ago

Until the next update of yt-dlp, you could try with the unofficial daily build, made by @Lesmiscore: https://github.com/ytdl-patched/yt-dlp.
