I was able to download and upload to IGTV, but it's messy. The main issues are
1) Don't close the browser tab before clicking on the MPD download link, or you'll loose it forever
2) With the MPD file, VLC is able to play it correctly, but when converting to a file, it looses the audio and drops the video quality
3) The best tool to convert the MPD file to an MP4 file correctly has been youtube-dl command line (brew install youtube-dl on mac). But, it needs an URL to an MPD file, it can't be local, so you need to upload it to a file directory that allows a direct link, e.g. gofile.io. Then type: $ youtube-dl -f bestvideo+bestaudio someurl/file.mpd
4) Instagram TV limits upload length to 15 minutes, so split your file in as many chunks of 14min58s as necessary with ffmpeg (brew install ffmpeg on mac), then type: $ ffmpeg -i file.mp4 -acodec copy -f segment -segment_time 898 -vcodec copy -reset_timestamps 1 -map 0 output%d.mp4
instafeed.me could simplify the process by at least providing a direct link to the file.mpd

Hi Vladimir, do you know if Instafeed.me violates IG's restriction with using private API? In other words, will IG block my account if I use Instafeed.me to upload pre-recorded videos as live?
I have ZERO reports about blocked accounts. Only copyright violations in stream content can be a reason for 1 day and up to few weeks of Live feature limitation.
Are there any drawbacks regarding IG algorithm when using instafeed? What is the regulation regarding intellectual property on instafeed? Do they get any rights on our content? And is it standard practice to use Instafeed to simulate live, although it isn’t live? Sorry for all the questions! I am obviously very new to this.
If you using outdated API references, wrong methods, wrong headers, signatures, cheap/public proxies , break rates limits etc etc - it can be a problem for user.

Thank you for your reply, Vladimir. I really appreciate it. So, when would the private API issue be a problem on IG?
