Cookies should already be parsed and available when going through main about p_pl_dl HOT 7 CLOSED

yep sorry forgot to reply back, all set :)

I'm not able to reproduce the problem.

If you were in incognito mode, can you try getting cookies using normal mode instead?

Is this the extension you used?
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/get-cookiestxt/bgaddhkoddajcdgocldbbfleckgcbcid

Within the cookies text file it generates, there should be a session_token entry like so:

.xvideos.com TRUE / FALSE 1234567891 session_token 0a1b2c3d4e5f6g7h8i...

Yeah that's the one I used. I didnt use incognito when I try to download the cookie.

Yep it looks like that

Hmm cant seem to send file via github. I can send you the cookie txt for you to check, along with the URL to try.

How are you passing in cookies? Your cookies file is "xvideos.com_cookies.txt", so the program call should be like:

python p_pl_dl_main.py.py -i "C:\MyFolder\urls.txt" -c "C:\MyCookieFolder\xvideos.com_cookies.txt" -d "F:\DownloadDestination"

It should also print all the cookies files it parses when the program starts. Do you see a message that says it is parsing "xvideos.com_cookies.txt"?

Ah, it's not parsing cookies at all.

The same if I use powershell. The one above is using command prompt

Sorry, I am unable to reproduce this at all. A possible workaround is to make your xvideos playlist public so that a login is not required.

Going back to the cookies, below is what my xvideos cookies file looks like, which has differences compared against yours. The numbers after the TRUE/FALSE columns are all zero in mine, where as you have some number like 1632198587. You also have two extra rows for wpn_ad_cookie and last_subs_check. Last difference is that all of mine are TRUE/FALSE, whereas you have a TRUE/TRUE for your session_token.

Try editing your cookies to resemble mine, or generate them using a different method. I use Firefox with this extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookies-txt/

Closing due to lack of activity. Open a new issue if you have more info. :)
