"Cookie is empty"

[SH0D4N-1337]

Hi,
I can't seem to make cookies.txt work.

File cookies.txt contains:

kemono.party	FALSE	/	FALSE	1697535614	session	[token]
coomer.party	FALSE	/	FALSE	1697289572	session	[token]

I tried adding dot on beginning, change 2nd FALSE to TRUE, change session to kemono_auth or commer_auth, because your example is different from what cookie export gives you.

Your example

### Cookie File only needed if you want to download favorite creators or posts

--cookie PATH
cookie file, default is cookies.txt (value separate by whitespace)
syntax:

Domain	Include subdomains	Path	Secure	Expiry	Name	Value
.kemono.party	FALSE	/	TRUE	1706755572	kemono_auth

you can get cookies easily by using Chrome extension Get cookies.txt LOCALLY

I get this error:
2023/09/17 12:37:06 cookie is empty

Regardless if I do:
.\kemono-scraper_no_cookies_detection.exe
.\kemono-scraper_no_cookies_detection.exe --cookie .\cookies.txt
I tried full path to the cookies.txt file, backslash and quotes.

Config:

cookie: .\cookies.txt
content: true
banner: true
async: true
max-download-parallel: 5
fav-site: coomer
fav-creator: true
output: D:\kemono-scraper
template: "[<ks:service>] <ks:creator>/<ks:post>/<ks:filename><ks:extension>"
image-template: "[<ks:service>] <ks:creator>/<ks:post>/<ks:index><ks:extension>"
video-template: "[<ks:service>] <ks:creator>/<ks:post>/video/<ks:filename><ks:extension>"
retry: 10
retry-interval: 15
# proxy: socks5://proxy:1080

I once again tried full path to the cookies.txt file, backslash and quotes.

I have to use the version with detection and even that has to be pointed on a browser that is not being used, otherwise I'll get an error like this:

2023/09/17 13:56:15 Error reading cookies: could not open database copy: could not read database file: 
open C:\Users\shodan\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data\Default\Network\Cookies: 
The process cannot access the file because it is being used by another process.

Am I doing something wrong? Can you add an option to use the cookie token in CLI for example?

Is it possible to run more processes at once? Because I thought the max-download-parallel refers to how many posts or creators are being scraped at once, but it seems to work only if currently scraped post has more of files inside of it.

I found an error where I was looking for the file, and I'll fix it as soon as I can.
Regarding not being able to access the cookie database with the browser open, it seems that this has been the case since the previous chrome update.

Cookies.txt works now. Thanks.
Also what download speeds should I expect? I am usually at 600KB/s and sometimes it goes up to 1MB/s, but that's it.
I get that they don't have servers setup for this, but I was expecting 2-5MB/s .
