Code

Add a meaningful section of your code here. If you are using TypeScript replace js with typescript.

const cron = require("node-cron");
const Shop = require("./Shop");
const instagram = require("instagram-private-api");
const dotenv = require("dotenv");
const mongoose = require("mongoose");
const Logger = require("./Logger");

const ig = new instagram.IgApiClient();

dotenv.config();

mongoose.connect(process.env.MONGO);

/*Login(ig).then(async () => {
  // Unfollow 50 users
});*/
Login(ig)
const fs = require('fs')

async function Login(client) {
  client.state.generateDevice(process.env.IG_USERNAME);
  //await ig.simulate.preLoginFlow()
  const loggedInUser = await client.account.login(
    process.env.IG_USERNAME,
    process.env.IG_PASSWORD
  );
  Logger.log(`Logged in as ${loggedInUser.username}`);
  ig.publish.video({
    video : fs.readFileSync('shop/shop-CID_A_023_Athena_Commando_M_Skirmish_W1N7H.mp4'),
      coverImage : fs.readFileSync("assets/shop/background.jpg"),
      caption : "test post"
  })
  //Setup();

Hey, don't know if you managed to fix this bug but I remember having similar issues so I thought I'd outline what I did to fix it for anyone else struggling with the same thing.

Basically, IG is finicky with its requirements for the video format. Obviously, the file must be MP4, but I also found that bitrate and samplerate could cause issues. I didn't really research what exactly IG requires, but if you just want your thing to work, try downloading a video from IG that you successfully uploaded (from your phone for example), then compare the codec information of the downloaded video to the one that you are failing to upload, and then use ffmpeg to change the failing video to match the downloaded video.

This works for me,

const { IgApiClient } = require('instagram-private-api');
const { readFile } = require('fs');
const { promisify } = require('util');
const readFileAsync = promisify(readFile);

const ig = new IgApiClient();

async function login() {
  // basic login-procedure
  ig.state.generateDevice(process.env.IG_USERNAME);
  ig.state.proxyUrl = process.env.IG_PROXY;
  await ig.account.login(process.env.IG_USERNAME, process.env.IG_PASSWORD);
}

(async () => {
  await login();

  const videoPath = './test.mp4';
  const coverPath = './output.jpg';

  const publishResult = await ig.publish.video({
    // read the file into a Buffer
    video: await readFileAsync(videoPath),
    coverImage: await readFileAsync(coverPath),
    /*
      this does also support:
      caption (string),  ----+
      usertags,          ----+----> See upload-photo.example.ts
      location,          ----+
     */
  });

  console.log(publishResult);
})();

You don't have to use fs from my understanding.
