is it possible to extract Firefox cookies and make username.json manually?
I've been having trouble logging into a new Instagram account with PyInstaLive recently, but the old non-expired JSON files still work well. Does anyone know how to extract cookies from Firefox to make a username.json manually for PyInstaLive?
[W] Unable to find cookie file: username.json [I] Creating a new one. [E] Could not login: {"message":"Please wait a few minutes before you try again.","require_login":true,"status":"fail"}
using PyInstaLive v3.2.4
I made a fork that allows Netscape cookies to be loaded from a .txt file instead of the .dat file. I use this plugin to extract the cookies. Let me know if you have any issues running it

Thank u very much man, i will test it !!
@samuelchristlie Thank you for the fork. Unfortunately I still can't record live stream with it. .dat file can be generated normally with cookies file but nothing can be downloaded. Instagram instantly shut down the access

@kdurov That's a separate issue, I'm currently working on it. Could you please create an issue on my fork?
I'll keep you guys updated, next release should fix both this issue and https://github.com/dvingerh/PyInstaLive/issues/161 :)
Edit: Should work fine now
@samuelchristlie Thank u very much, I will open issue in your fork if found some problem! I haven't tried your code yet, but I'm sure I will try it in the next few days, thanks for your effort. ❤️
