To clarify, the problem is a popup asking you to accept cookies, correct? If not, possibly the uncommenting this line would help:

"profile.managed_default_content_settings.cookies": 2,

I'm new to python so I just tried to fix it on my end, and thought that loading an extension to block cookies would be a nice idea, but I just have to add the crx manually on the folder of the program for now!

The popup is about privacy, not cookies as I thought at first, I managed to take a screenshot:

I will try this line too to see if it works! Thank you!;

from ugdownloader.

Yes your fix bypasses the popup so we don't need the extension anymore! Thank you.
Now I found another problem, that makes you to have to login again when trying to download a tab, as if you weren't logged in before. It's weird, but have to check it.

Edit: Found out that the login problem happens because of the argument to stop cookies... So back to square 1 for me haha

from ugdownloader.

Ah, that makes sense. I think changing the '2' in that line i mentioned to '1' will help. Looks like 2 disables all cookies vs. 1 which disables just third party cookies. Hopefully, changing it to one will keep first party cookies where login info is stored, but still block the popup by denying third party cookies.
Here's another possible solution, comment the line out again and add this line under it:
"profile.block_third_party_cookies": True,
I'm not sure how it would behave differently, maybe it can be used in addition to the other line. Hopefully one combo works

You might want to try the latest source code. I've included the mentioned lines, but on my end it doesn't make any difference whether I include them or not so I'm wondering how they would impact you

from ugdownloader.

I will check everything! Thank you! I think that pop up is because we are in EU, where GDPR and cookies are mandatory, while probably you are in the US? I will come back to you when I check it! Thank you for your work!!

Option 1 does not stop the popup, unfortunately.. I still keep using the extension option by adding the path to it!

from ugdownloader.

Yup, in the U.S. so that makes sense. Bummer it doesn't work- I'll have to mess with it more to see if I can get it to show up. I was having problems getting the extension to work in my code but I didn't work on it too long

from ugdownloader.

I made it work with this line: c_options.add_extension(str(Path.cwd()) + r'\\_UGDownloaderFiles\\extension_3_4_6_0.crx')
The line you had was checking in the temp directory of chrome or something i think!

from ugdownloader.

Ah I see- you can't use extensions while running chrome headless. Maybe at some point I'll add a checkbox that loads up the extension while disabling headless. Anyways, glad it's running for you!

from ugdownloader.

Try the latest code- added a checkbox in the GUI to load the extension

from ugdownloader.

Oh nice thank you! Yes I was trying it only without being headless, because I wanted to check where it stops! There is also a way to add Powertabs and blocked tabs if you want to do this too (but I don't know if UG will like the blocked tabs method).

from ugdownloader.

Yeah I saw sawyersteven had the blocked tabs in his fork. I hadn't personally run into an issue of wanting to download a blocked tab (I could just be downloading weird artists) so it wasn't really on my radar. Powertabs I might add at some point too, again I don't use them so I wasn't paying much attention to them

Thanks for your work!
