No longer works on Linux with recent keyring changes

Open eloquence opened this issue 7 years ago • 5 comments

The password is no longer hardcoded on Linux when a keyring is available. This Python package has a bit more detail:

I figure you probably won't have time to fix it, but wanted to leave a note here in case others run into the issue. Needless to say, it will result in garbage cookie values.

yt-dlp has this logic, just need to figure out what the python code means and translate it to JavaScript :)

chromium tested as working on Linux on the most recent release. Are people using chrome here or is the test missing something (only validating types not values?). Could someone pull down the repo, run the linux test and feed back?
