That means that instacron can't find any photos in the photos folder.

I'm not near my computer but looking at the code, all the photos must be .jog with the lower case .jpg so NOT .JPG.

[roncam82]

yes they are .jpg

they need to be in a particular filename ?

[basnijholt]

Are they in a folder called photos?

[roncam82]

yes: C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\GitHub\instacron\photos

[basnijholt]

Could you post the entire error message?

[roncam82]

if i have .jpg photo in the folder the output is:

if i rename .jpg photo to .jpeg in the folder the output is:

if i rename .jpg photo to .jpeg in the folder the output is:

You shouldn't do that.

Now the problem is that your jpeg files are corrupted. Did you try it with a different photo like I suggested earlier?

[roncam82]

need to be of a particular size ? ratio ?

[roncam82]

tried different photo now same:

C:\Users\Administrator\Documents\GitHub\instacron>python instacron.py Traceback (most recent call last): File "instacron.py", line 374, in main() File "instacron.py", line 352, in main pic = fix_photo(photo) File "instacron.py", line 279, in fix_photo if not correct_ratio(photo): File "instacron.py", line 58, in correct_ratio return compatible_aspect_ratio(get_image_size(photo)) File "C:\Users\Administrator\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32\lib\site-packages\instabot\api\api_photo.py", line 145, in get_image_size raise RuntimeError("Unsupported format") RuntimeError: Unsupported format

[roncam82]

i think there is something in the api_photo.py

for me changing it to jpg works. just used some testpics. however Now I'm having the next error. Gonna figure it out tho. It's saying KeyError:"Image Make"
