IndexError: list index out of range - Video post

[laurent-d]

Hi @timgrossmann

Thanks for your amazing work !!!
For some obvious reason your app stop to work since there are videos posts ..
The error is img = imgs[1].get_attribute('src')
IndexError: list index out of range

Do you have an idea about this issue ?
Regards

Laurent

@laurent-d Hmm... well it works when crawling my own profile which also has videos.
Could you give me an username for which this error will occur?

[laurent-d]

Thanks @timgrossmann !
I tried with your profile.
I use the last version of Selenium 3.33 for Mac.
Please see below

I'm getting the same error. @timgrossmann, which versions are you using for Python and Selenium?

I tried with Python 3.6.1 and Selenium 3.3.3 (edit: on MacOS 10.12). I'm not familiar with Python or Selenium, but I can try other tests if you have suggestions.

Hi @clbailey ,
I was inspired by this project to make my own script in Javascript. If you know a little nodeJS and npm, you can test my program (https://github.com/nacimgoura/instagram-profilecrawl). There are still bugs but I fix them quickly.

@laurent-d @clbailey This is really weird, there is no problem with videos for me... I actually covered that case in my script...

For the version information...
selenium (2.53.6)

Make sure to run it with:

python3.5 ...

[laurent-d]

I tried without success same.. thanks for your support

[timgrossmann]

@laurent-d I'm really sorry you get that problems...
I will look into the code and try to fix it.

Hi @timgrossmann, @nacimgoura found a similar issue on his nodejs script (https://github.com/nacimgoura/instagram-profilecrawl) .
The language of the browser change the instagram display. My chrome is in french and not in english.
Hope it's the same issue and it helps you.

[timgrossmann]

@laurent-d Thank you, yes that's the problem. Thank you for pointing it out.

[timgrossmann]

@laurent-d Please pull the newest version and try again.
