Discord works, but telegram for some reason doesn't. Could you take a look at making it work on more platforms?

After further testing it seems to be inconsistent, or it is already fixed - because today it works fine.
Another messaging app I noticed it doesn't embed in is Signal. It should support odb so I'm not sure what's up with it

Can reproduce too

Not sure why, it seems to work fine when I try it. Maybe the server was slow at the time.

Hey @Wikidepia!
Is it possible to embed videos into Telegram in a way like fxtwitter does it? For now your tool just embeds only a preview image of a video that's actually in the instagram post.
IDK about the Discord because I personally don't use it that much but judging by the screenshot above it already embeds videos as videos there. It'd be awesome if we can have such a function in the Telegram as well.

FxTwitter's code is open source so you can take some inspiration there

Anyways, thanks! :)

Do you have link for the post? It should be possible to embed video

link for the post

I'm not quite sure what post do you mean but here's some of my tries to share some links from instagram to the Telegram. As you can see almost all the links doesn't have any preview. The one that has is the post with a single image. But it's not an "instant view" preview so you can't actually view the image without opening a link, just a basic URL preview. The posts with video has no success at all as you can see.

Also met this issue, some of the posts doesnt load a preview and some of them load with "post not found" and the link follows you to the instagram main page. We had to stop using dd because it just led to lost posts.

@Cheeel666 can you send me links for post that return "post not found"?
