Is there a way to download videos WITH sound with instaloader?

Question

I'm trying to use instaloader to download instagram videos (reels) via "shortcode" of those videos (essentially the link to the video) this is my current approach:

import instaloader 

L = instaloader.Instaloader()

post = instaloader.Post.from_shortcode(L.context, "SHORTCODE")
L.download_post(post, target=post.owner_username)

it's pretty simple but it simply does not download videos with audio. Is there a way to fix this/prevent this in instaloader or are there any different, better libraries that could be used for this task?

Answer 1

I've been trying to do the same thing using instaloader but in my case it was working fine except I wanted to download only the video and nothing else such as the metadata or the desription...

so here's a working code for that.

import instaloader
L = instaloader.Instaloader()
post = instaloader.Post.from_shortcode(L.context, "reel_shortcode_here")
video_url = post.video_url
filename = L.format_filename(post, target=post.owner_username)
L.download_pic(filename=filename, url=video_url, mtime=post.date_utc)

this should download only the video(with sound) in the current directory.
