[Feature request] Send cookies with download request #68

Closed SporgWaffle closed 5 months ago

SporgWaffle commented 5 months ago

The extension is able to detect the .m3u8 link, but fails to download it because the website I'm using requires account login to watch the stream. I'm able to open the link in a new tab, but that only downloads the first .m3u8 file. Sending cookies with the download request would allow for programmatic downloading of the stream.

This extension sends cookies (haven't tried on private mode though). So there must be something else.

Thank you for the prompt response. I hadn't considered the fact that I was using Private browsing mode. I am able to download just fine in normal mode.
