YouTube: allow logging in with YouTube account #43

Closed josch closed 1 year ago

josch commented 1 year ago

Hi,

some videos are only visible when logged in with a YouTube account. For example Videos which are marked as 18+. This is a video that is wrongly marked as 18+ to test this:

$ clapper "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Dzed6dKwTAE
(com.github.rafostar.Clapper:6706): Clapper-CRITICAL **: 08:19:51.097: Error from element /GstPlayBin3:playbin3/GstURIDecodeBin3:uridecodebin3-0/GstURISourceBin:urisourcebin0/GstGtuberSrc:gtubersrc0: Resource not found.
This video may be inappropriate for some users.
../gst/gst-gtuber/gstgtubersrc.c(891): gst_gtuber_src_create (): /GstPlayBin3:playbin3/GstURIDecodeBin3:uridecodebin3-0/GstURISourceBin:urisourcebin0/GstGtuberSrc:gtubersrc0

Another reason for this to be useful is to access videos that are privately shared with a specific group of users.

What browser do you use? Firefox?

josch commented 1 year ago

I can use firefox and chromium. Why do you ask?

Rafostar commented 1 year ago

Why do you ask?

It might be easier (haven't tried with YT yet) to just share cookies from the browser, instead of passing login/password and praying that big G won't ask for captcha verification. For example, we already support reading Firefox cookies database and use it for similar reason in crunchyroll plugin.

josch commented 1 year ago

Sure, just passing a cookie jar to gtuber sounds reasonable to me. :)

Rafostar commented 1 year ago

@josch Create symbolic link to Firefox browser cookies like this one by one:

mkdir -p $HOME/.config/gtuber-0.0
ln -s $HOME/.mozilla/firefox/*.default-release/cookies.sqlite $HOME/.config/gtuber-0.0/cookies.sqlite

And it should work if you signed in on youtube.com in your browser (and staying logged in when closing browser).

If you encounter any problems feel free to reopen. For different browsers support (other then Firefox) a different issue would be needed as this would need to be expanded on gtuber level and not within youtube plugin.
