Assistance With Instagram

Hello Everyone,

I'm looking for help with 2 items. My config and command line is below. I've been researching and trying a lot of different things, but not making any progress. I think if a knowledgeable person could point me in the right direction I could get it right.

This URL is a good example of the problem I'm having: https://www.instagram.com/p/C5JFvd-NQXo/

1. That post has 3 videos. But with my current config and command line it only downloads the first one. How can I get gallery-dl to download all 3?
2. Some of the information I want from that post (the recipes) is in the comments. How can I get gallery-dl to download all the comments for the post?

This is my very basic config:
{
"postprocessor": {
"insta-meta": {
"name": "metadata",
"event": "post",
"mode": "custom",
"format": "{description}\n",
"filename": "{post_shortcode}by{username}.html"
}
},
"extractor": {
"instagram": {
"username": "user.name",
"password": "random string",
"directory": ["{category}"],
"filename": "{post_shortcode}by{username}.{extension}",
"sleep": 1.0,
"sleep-request": 10.0,
"metadata": true
}
}
}

This is the command I'm running:
gallery-dl -c config.json -P insta-meta --cookies cookies.txt -d recipes/ --write-metadata --write-info-json --write-tags https://www.instagram.com/p/C5JFvd-NQXo/

Your filename format string produces the same name for all 3 files, causing all but the first to get skipped. Add {num} or {shortcode} or anything that's different per file.

Not supported yet. See #3802.
