Hi. Nice code! Thanks! But i have one problem with uploading video to instagram. Tell me pls, how i can fix this error:

configure response: {"status"=>"ok", "media"=>{"upload_id"=>"1453635345"}, "message"=>"media_needs_reupload", "error_title"=>"staged_position_not_found"}

success but SUCCESS: {
"error_title" = "staged_position_not_found";
media = {
"upload_id" = 1453825279;
};
message = "media_needs_reupload";
status = ok;
}

I want the script to video, can anyone?

mgp25 has a similar script that I use yet I also encounter the same media_needs_reupload / staged_position_not_found when I upload videos. I been posting on mgp25's GitHub trying to find a solution yet to find a solution. Some people suggest downgrade to 5.5.3 but that did not fix fyi.
