Can't Log Into YouTube after clearing cache folder
Although I resolved my own issue just now, the whole yt login process could still use some revision and improvement.
I just followed the instructions from open video downloader on how to get cookies manually for yt.
Long story short, install this extension (also available for chrome) https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/fir...n/cookies-txt/
Go to YT, make sure you're logged in and focused ON (current tab open) yt site, then open the extension and tell it "current site" and save cookies.txt to a download location, then copy paste the file to the SF program directory. If Windows, it will require Admin permission to do so. Restart SF and go to the YT option, the "Login" button will quickly change to a logged in status, for me it is oddly the letter "M". Probably because my Google account starts with an M.
<Your SF Temp Path>\cache\Network\Cookies is where StreamFab's CEF cookie database is located.
If you think dropping a cookies.txt file there (or anywhere else) is going to have it suddenly appear in the SQLite database, you should think again.
I am now getting a cookie error when I try to log into youtube.
Here is the screenshot and a clean log:
I've had sign in issues with SF for months. I tried using the video posted in another thread, but that only worked for a day or 2. I resorted to the copy/paste method.
