Error when uploading video - "AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'extension'"
I cloned the repo and tried to run the example "upload-a-video.py":
from instapy_cli import client
username = 'xxxxx'
password = 'xxxxx'
video = '../docs/video-sample-upload.mp4'
text = 'This will be the caption of your video.' + '\r\n' + 'You can also use hashtags! #hash #tag #now'
with client(username, password) as cli:
cli.upload(video, text)
But I got an error in the console that said:
Reusing settings: ig.json
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "upload-a-video.py", line 9, in <module>
cli.upload(video, text)
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/instapy_cli/cli.py", line 105, in upload
media = Media(file)
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/instapy_cli/media.py", line 29, in __init__
self.check_type()
File "/Library/Python/2.7/site-packages/instapy_cli/media.py", line 32, in check_type
self.media_ext = filetype.guess(self.media_path).extension
AttributeError: 'NoneType' object has no attribute 'extension'
Any idea what I'm doing wrong?
please, add relevant informations such as python and instapy-cli version
Also, I suggest you to update to latest release of instapy-cli 0.0.10 and re-try.

Hi, I dont know if this issues is resolved or not. I just got the same issues
python ver : 3.6.8 | instapy-cli 0.0.12
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "c:\users\oce\anaconda3\envs\insta\lib\runpy.py", line 193, in run_module_as_main

Help would greatly appreciated
Thanks
This is duo to the missing sanity check for the filetype. Somehow the lib filetype is having problems with some mp4 and can't guess the right type.
@b3nab i have the solution, the issue's origin is actually the filetype library and specifically this line at media.py
self.media_ext = filetype.guess(self.media_path).extension
filetype is returning None on some videos so to fix it you can use Magic instead of filetype
PyPi: https://pypi.org/project/python-magic-bin/0.4.14/ or Pip: pip install python-magic-bin
so now in the media.py
first : import magic
then change the check_type function to this:
`def check_type(self):
self.media_ext = magic.from_file(self.media_path,mime=True)
self.media_ext= self.media_ext.split('/')[1]`
Thanks it worked really fine.
@b3nab Please review the changes if possible. This is an issue which is also happening in my use case of this library.

I followed @salahar9 advice and imported magic at media.py but the error just changed to: (env) Ryans-MacBook-Pro:InstaAutomaterFirstTry ryankeenan$ python app.py [IG] not found cookie/cookie_file >> login as default Error parsing error response: Expecting value: line 1 column 1 (char 0) Error is >> Bad Request
