[feature request] upload cookies from inside metube

Open ghost opened this issue 1 year ago • 4 comments

could metube have a feature where you could upload cookies directly from the metube page for use in youtube-dl? it would be a lot easier then having to scp to the server, then ssh into the server to chown to the correct user and restart metube

why not save cookies file in downloads dir

Because I don't have immediate access to the downloads folder, it's accessed by automation tools. And the downloads folder is shared by five other file downloading tools and gets purged of all debris when all downloads are completed and imported.

Maybe you can also automatically mount and update the cookies file such as CookieCloud? metube reads the cookies file on each download, I think there is no need to restart the container instance after updating the cookies

It's a useful feature, and there is no need to build another container, just a restful api is enough
