Re: Insta Login Issue

At the end of that error message it says:

Login Checkpoint required. Point your browser to /challenge/action/AXEMzPwzfXuwp2G_SxthYR2m96NHjE7JhZtb375KipBw7T71G3g5LeZU5zddW6cwc8g_zT0/AfzNzwulls2iyB3fTn9b

Try going to the URL it provides with instagram.com added to the front. So for the error output you have there you would goto:

https://instagram.com/challenge/action/AXEMzPwzfXuwp2G_SxthYR2m96NHjE7JhZtb375KipBw7T71G3g5LeZU5zddW6cwc8g_zT0/AfzNzwulls2iyB3fTn9b

Run the action again and try going to the challenge URL.

Re: Insta Login Issue

That was fast, didn't expect you to reply in such a short time:)

I've done what you suggested, getting a new error instead:

Re: Insta Login Issue

I've just updated the action.

Can you please do a 'Check for Updates' in the Add-on actions tab in Dropzone Settings, and it should prompt you to update the Instagram Downloader action to version 1.7. Install this update and then try the download again.

Re: Insta Login Issue

Hmm, sorry but this reel will not download for some reason. I have the same issue. It's a problem with the Instaloader library which Dropzone uses. I have already upgraded it to the latest version but that didn't solve the issue. Resolving the underlying issue with Instaloader is beyond the scope of what I can do right now.

Probably the next step is to file a bug for Instaloader for that URL here:
