Describe your issue

First off, thank you everyone that has contributed to the development of this bot. I've been using it for the past year with no problems auto liking my timeline feed but after updating the bot recently when I retrieve my timeline media it filters everything out and returns with 0 medias. I've checked all the settings: max_likes_to_like, min_likes_to_like, etc. and looked thru the bot_filter.py, bot_get.py, and bot_likes.py but could not find a solution.

[smokefx]

I've actually disabled the filtration and the bot still doesnt like any media ... not too sure what is causing it.

[dealerboost]

Same here

Hello, I also observed this problem. But after taking a look to bot code there are a lot of filter to play with in the aim to do what we need. The default values are not always suiting the needs

First of all you can test with bot.filter_users = False

Then try the likes filters :
bot.max_likes_to_like=10000 (default = 100)
bot.min_likes_to_like=0 (default = 20)

The default values mean that all posts that have more than 100 likes or less than 20 won't be liked.

Hope this can help

[smokefx]

yes, ive tried changing the filters, it still filters the media to 0 @elabdel26

[dealerboost]

Same again. I changed all the settings and still 0 medias left.

[dealerboost]

Maybe someone share his settings so we can test it out ?

[diorox]

Same problem

[alainpoeta]

I changed min_likes_to_like=0
and filter_business_accounts=False

in bot.py and solved the same problem

[dealerboost]

I changed min_likes_to_like=0
and filter_business_accounts=False

in bot.py and solved the same problem

Worked here as well. Thank you bud

didn't work for me. i changed all the filter settings to false and it still didnt work.

[smokefx]

I changed min_likes_to_like=0
and filter_business_accounts=False
in bot.py and solved the same problem

Worked here as well. Thank you bud

how strange mine still doesnt work... hmmm

[ghost]

Same here. Changing these parameters the behaviour of the "liker functions" changes, as expected. Except the behaviour of the feed likers.

Olá eu sou brasileiro e não sei escrever muito bem ingles tão a solução é a seguinte:
Modifique a função de nome _filter_medias_not_likes do arquivo bot_filter.py na linha 23.
Cole isto:
def _filter_medias_not_liked(media_items): not_liked_medias = [] for media in media_items: try: media = next(v for k,v in media.items() if 'media_or_ad' in k) if 'has_liked' in media and not media['has_liked']: not_liked_medias.append(media) except StopIteration as identifier: try: hasdliked = next(v for k,v in media.items() if 'has_liked' in k) if not hasdliked: not_liked_medias.append(media) except StopIteration as identifier: print('ops - has_liked') return not_liked_medias

Na execução do comando de realizar like no feed vc deverar setar a seguinte instrução:
bot.min_likes_to_like=0 bot.max_likes_to_like=500 bot.filter_users=False

Obrigado pessoal que desenvolve essa solução tmj
Bom, agora eu vou dormir

[smokefx]

Hello, I'm Brazilian and I do not know how to write very well English so the solution is as follows:
Modify the _filter_medias_not_likes name function of the bot_filter.py file at line 23.
Paste this:
def _filter_medias_not_liked(media_items): not_liked_medias = [] for media in media_items: try: media = next(v for k,v in media.items() if 'media_or_ad' in k) if 'has_liked' in media and not media['has_liked']: not_liked_medias.append(media) except StopIteration as identifier: try: hasdliked = next(v for k,v in media.items() if 'has_liked' in k) if not hasdliked: not_liked_medias.append(media) except StopIteration as identifier: print('ops - has_liked') return not_liked_medias

In executing the command like perform in the feed vc should be the following statement:
bot.min_likes_to_like=0 bot.max_likes_to_like=500 bot.filter_users=False

Thank you guys who develop this solution tmj
Good, now I go to sleep

thank you!, i just added the code but it still is not working... here is what i changed for the function _filter_medias_not_liked()

def _filter_medias_not_liked(media_items):
    not_liked_medias = []
    for media in media_items:
        try:
            media = next(v for k,v in media.items()
                    if 'has_liked' in k)
            if 'has_liked' in media and not media['has_liked']:
                not_liked_medias.append(media)
        except StopIteration as identifier:
            try:
                hasdliked = next(v for k,v in media.items()
                        if 'has_liked' in k)
                if not hasdliked:
                    not_liked_medias.append(media)
            except StopIteration as identifier: print('ops - has_liked')
    return not_liked_medias

[dpereirasilva]

Você não pode esquecer de inserir:

bot.min_likes_to_like=0
bot.max_likes_to_like=500
bot.filter_users=False
bot.like_timeline() <-
Dai tudo da certo \o/

[smokefx]

You can not forget to insert:

bot.min_likes_to_like=0
bot.max_likes_to_like=500
bot.filter_users=False
bot.like_timeline() <-
Dai tudo da certo \o/

yes i did add this but still no luck :(

[WeidnersApps]

I have the same problem and tryed it all, but i also didn't get it fixed

[ghost]

Same problem here, it's not working.

[MrMdR]

Hi, I got the same problem. I can't seem to find the solution.
Recieved 7 medias
after filtration 0 medias left
going to comment on 0 medias

[MrMdR]

It seems that it has to do with commenting/linking on your feed/timeline. When liking media from followers or with a hashtag it appears to work.

The function "bot.get_timeline_medias()" is the problem I think?

Anyone experience the same?

it does seem like it works a little bit not but fully working either for me. it filters it off 1 by 1 when i use the examples/like_hashtags.py which i dont think was its normal operation before it broke. its definately something to do with a filtering function or a get function.

[markford1]

Any progress with this issue? I’m currently having the same problem :(

[smokefx]

Guys, this bug fixed bf82ec5
But update only in master branch, not in pip yet

when i first loaded it seems working but i keep getting filters out again after running the ultimate.py scripe for a couple days and its returning 0 medias again..

[lizergin88]

Who knows how to disable this timeline filter at all? Tried bot.filter_users=False, filter_private_users=False, filter_users_without_profile_photo=False
didn't have any effect, still 0 medias to like.
