Rss-bridge: instagram bridge issue

[cmsitee]

After the update of rss-bridge, instagram rss ATOM for pictures become like this img src="https://www.instagram.com/p/XXXXXXXX/media?size=l" and that makes it not readable by IFTTT and it gives not found file from IFTTT. How to fix this so it become like the rss from fetchrss.com which has pictures rss in .JPG !!!

The reason for doing this is that Instagram API gives us this result, but the link correctly points to the image. The problem here lies in the fact that this link is the only permalink that we have for the image.

but how fetchrss is doing it? also some wordpress plugin can't detect images either from this new image format

So i took a look at the reason why it changed. It seems that the links are done this way in purpose, for a simple reason:
What you call the "direct URL" is actually an URL + a signature that is only valid for a specific period of time. Meaning that if we were to give you the direct URL, like fetchrss.com, it would become invalid over time.
So I don't have a real solution to offer you here...

Hi there, I'm experiencing the same issue. I'm using this wonderful tool with ttrss and images can't be displayed directly in reader. I have to click on link separately for each post, and open instagram website. This experience is not really usable in such way.

About the direct link you're speaking about @teromene : what's the "specific period of time" ? We could also eventually extend that period of time by caching the image somewhere locally/remotely?

The Same Problem Here ... is there any solution

[teromene]

Sorry for the delay in answering. I added an option in a2e47a88c314c62d49c04b548fd78be509a89a12 that allows you to get the same behaviour as before.
Please note that the checkbox is off by default, and that you therefore need to re-add your feeds.
