[Maybe an issue] Some Instagram Live blackout when multiples Instagram Live are on

Open dannysateler opened this issue 10 months ago • 24 comments

Hi all, first of all thanks so much for this app.

I live broadcast for YouTube and Instagram at the same time, but I send my broadcast to four instagram channels simultaneously, sometimes five or six. My first broadcast was one week ago with the standalone app, better for me, and two of four instagram pages go down and I stop to receive messages and events, but in my phone and Chrome I see the live video correctly. This week I changed to Chrome extension (thinking of a problem in a standalone app), and the result was the same two of four lives were black even one of them stopped showing me live, but I checked on my phone and everything was ok. I don't know what happened, but it is the same behavior on standalone and extension apps. If you need more evidence or take a test, please feel free to contact me and I can help in everything that you should need.

so to clarify, you're trying to capture 4 instagram pages via social stream?

I've never tried capturing more than one at a time; I'm curious if Instagram is doing something to limit the number of active sessions.

Thank you for reporting the issue

Hi @steveseguin and really thanks for your quick answer. Absolutely works fine with 1 YouTube and 2 Instagram Live 😃 If you need, please contact me and I will be really happy to help.

Greetings from Chile.

Perhaps sometime you can share with me 4 instagram feeds. I can generate 1, but 4 is not that easy to create and its' hard to find instagram live feeds.

Doesn't need to be tonight; I'm a bit tired, but sometime. Maybe next time you're live?

If this is an issue with Instagram blocking the stream, after 2, I'm not sure i can fix it though.

steveseguin avatar Apr 11 '24 03:04 steveseguin

I'm in UTC-4 maybe tomorrow i can generate 3, 4, 5 or 6 (one of them is private) at 18.00 or 19.00. If you need more, i can, but i don't have more Instagram. I can transmite until 50 or more.

dannysateler avatar Apr 11 '24 03:04 dannysateler

nice!

I'll be on tomorrow; 6pm et or so should be fine.

It's working with all three in Chrome + extension

I'm also having it work with the standalone app

steveseguin avatar Apr 11 '24 22:04 steveseguin

I'll go with another one... Please go to:

instagram.com/adictosal.trance

In a few minutes go to: youtube.com/dannysateler

dannysateler avatar Apr 11 '24 22:04 dannysateler

5 streaming are live

dannysateler avatar Apr 11 '24 22:04 dannysateler

instagram.com/adictosal.trance is black: image

dannysateler avatar Apr 11 '24 22:04 dannysateler

I see it on my mobile, I can comment, but I don't receive any events. If you need another one, please let me know.

Click the Instagram page to see if it will start the video playing. I'm noticing that Instagram doesn't auto play for some reason, but otherwise, it works

steveseguin avatar Apr 11 '24 22:04 steveseguin

Yes, it starts again and fails, it's cyclical, click and fails.

dannysateler avatar Apr 11 '24 22:04 dannysateler

If I remove the plugin Chrome works perfectly, but if I do it in the application the same thing happens, it goes black

dannysateler avatar Apr 11 '24 22:04 dannysateler

Thank you. If right-click and "inspect" the window with the failed video, error messages listed there might be helpful. I'm not sure what is confidential or not, but if you see anythign that might be a clue, I'd love to see it.

Otherwise, I'll review the code and see if I can guess at what is causing it.

To be clear, you can open multiple IG windows in Chrome fine without the extension installed, but it fails when you have the extension active and do the same thing.

nuts.

steveseguin avatar Apr 11 '24 22:04 steveseguin

Yes!

I show you the reload page and the effects in the streaming, when it go black i'll send you the inspect.

If it only happens in the app, that might be an issue with the video being muted on start. There is a mute button, and if its muted, the video might be paused on start.

Unmute the source in the app, and reload it, and see if that's the cause image

steveseguin avatar Apr 11 '24 22:04 steveseguin

I have all the tab muted. i'll change.

The console show me this: image

dannysateler avatar Apr 11 '24 22:04 dannysateler

Another thing is that put all the instagram in another virtual desktop of my pc.

dannysateler avatar Apr 11 '24 22:04 dannysateler

I wonder if maybe the GPU / RAM is causing a limit in some way in the VM.

I dont see any hints as to the issue in the screen shot, sadly

steveseguin avatar Apr 11 '24 22:04 steveseguin

CPU is fine image

Memory less than 60%: image

GPU is high, but i don't think is a problem: image

dannysateler avatar Apr 11 '24 22:04 dannysateler

I stopped all the streaming but not instagram.com/adictosal.trance and the problem continue. May be is not a problem of the quantities, maybe is a problem with that account in specific...

dannysateler avatar Apr 11 '24 22:04 dannysateler

Ok, my last test for today: i'll start 3 instagram again from the standalone app: One of them go black Two of them continue well One of them stopped but before do this, like start and stop rapidly:
