[Feature Request] Instagram Reels Download Doesn't Work

[seniorm0ment]

Instagram reels don't download.it seems to grab photos and IGTV posts fine. However it doesn't seem to grab reels.
I can't specify the link directly as expected.
www.instagram.com/user/reels/ and it just throws a no suitable extractor error.

I also don't see them when I just provide a link to the users main page, which should download all photos, reels, and igtv. It only seems to download photos and igtv.

Version 1.16.5

It's also worth noting that if you link to main profile page, it downloads all the files (except reels) but throws them all in one folder. It would make sense to seperate them by default 3 different folders (Reels, Photos, IGTV) if possible.

I agree, this would be a more sensible default.

And I guess that Reels are not working (yet), because that is the newest "feature" on IG, and it simply hasn't been implemented so far.

Wasn't aware it was a new feature, I don't use instagram.
But yeah I think it needs support. Thanks
