So, one post is working, the other one is not. But they should be the same: Single tumblr post, correct category, standard Instagram embed.

Just a guess out of the blue: The tumblr post description, i.e. that part that appears directly under the posted entry, no matter if text, image, link or video etc.

One description is:

vitasidorkinalove:
Counting down the days till the show- getting my ponytail pumped 💪🏻😜 @victoriassecretsport #TrainLikeAnAngel #VSFashionShow #VitaSidorkina

The other description is:

joskriver:
(AT)victoriassecret: Invisibility or flight…which superpower would YOU choose? #VSFashionShow #ThisOrThat

I am not sure, but maybe this gem here 💪🏻😜 might be the culprit. Apparently not Unicode bulletproof 😄

Holy mackerel!

You guys are fast..

Thanks, lol..

By the way, one short question: This one warning, i.e.

WARNING: Falling back on generic information extractor.

is this intentional? Does it always behave like this when dealing with embeds of supported site X in supported site Y?
