Instagram download issue with Parabolic

[Francehelder]

If i download some reels of the same Instagram profile, Parabolic saves all this videos with the same name "Video by puttheusernamehere.mp4" by default.

This not happen when i use yt-dlp directly.

Can you provide the links of the videos you are trying to download?

What's the command you are using to download it from yt-dlp directly?

When I do yt-dlp https://www.instagram.com/omarcosrossi/reel/DCMeqpzxIaR/ I get a file called Video by omarcosrossi, so same behavior as Parabolic.

I get a file called Video by omarcosrossi [DCMeqpzxIaR].mp4

Exactly.

But you said: "This not happen when i use yt-dlp directly."

But, isn't the same name. There is a kind of video ID in the file name. Same ID is in the link itself.
This not appears when i use Parabolic. Every reels of that profile is saved com the same name.
Remains only the last video downloaded. Every time i download, Parabolic overwrite the file.

Ah okay I understand now. Will try to fix.

I made it so Parabolic will automatically include [MEDIA ID] to the end of the title when you validate a video by default. Other users can turn this feature off in Preferences, but it is on by default to follow yt-dlp's default behavior as well.
