YouTube Has anyone deciphered the youtube login issue?

[MrGrackle]

Since maybe the past 10 or more versions, currently at 6200, if you ever get logged out of youtube, you're probably not going to get logged back in. Has anyone deciphered the latest how to login ?
Remember when it used to be easy(ish) and the program would sort of guide you how to do it?

I noticed when you start the program, a cookies.txt is created in the root of your \cache\ folder. Where is it getting that data from? Attempts to replace the file are useless because it replaces it again when it starts. I am logged in to YT in Firefox, Edge and Chrome. If it is performing a cookie thief function, I would like to know from where. I can cookie thief Firefox myself and copy paste the file to the \cache\ folder, but that does no good. I have tried it with all 3 browsers closed, all 3 browsers open, logged out of YT from the browser and logged back in. NO JOY.

Yup, thanks.
Thus the thread asking if anyone has really deciphered it. The user methods have mixed results. In my case right now, no.

You can keep trying different variations of what I posted (here) as I am STILL logged into YouTube with SF.
From what most users can tell, no ONE solution will work for everyone, and NO user can come up with a 100% working solution for everyone.

Keep flooding SF support as described (here) till they themselves come up with a 100% working solution for everyone.

They should actually add a way for SF to get cookies from the most popular browsers, Brave, Firefox, Chrome, and Edge, since none have a login issue with YouTube, nor any other streaming website.

And they NEVER fulfilled their statement when bringing out version 5 or 6 of Streamfb, this is taken right from their own website, under Auto-Login to Steaming Services:



ADDED: I also then stay logged out of YouTube via all browsers on my computers other than the one computer, I stay logged into YouTube with only Edge and SF, For all we know the more browsers logged into YouTube the more issues that may cause.
I am actually close to possibly uninstalling Brave from my main computer, and even closer to uninstalling Firefox from my main computer.

I sadly then have to contradict that a bit, as I have 3 other downloaders/recorders that I use for YouTube and a few other sites, and they are logged in and stay logged in, with NO issues.
