Can't get cookies to work #117

Open Brouwertje opened 2 years ago

Brouwertje commented 2 years ago

I am trying to download something from Discovery+.

Placed cookies.txt in the right folder (just used same as download folder)

But I keep getting ''Error adding URL: ERROR: [DiscoveryPlus] This video is only available for registered users. You may want to use --cookies.''

What am I missing here?

Installed using portainer. Youtube videos download with no issues. stacked

The configuration looks all right.. I would suggest you debug it with the yt-dlp command line (using the --cookies parameter to specify the cookies file). If you have it working fine with yt-dlp, and still not working with MeTube, then let me know and perhaps I can help.

Thanks! Seems to be something with persmission to read the cookies.txt Any tips?

Well, at this point it's all down to your specific configuration, which I don't know anything about... I see you're running MeTube with uid 1026, so you have to make sure that this user is able to read this file.

Yeah, I've checked everything and it seems fine, but I must be missing something. You helped me further with the commandline tip! Thanks for the help. I'll dive into my permission settings.
