[anirip] Error: validating session: could not verify session

[Kanekid2m]

Hi,

I tried to download some shows today and I keep getting the same message
[anirip] Error: validating session: could not verify session

Does this have anything to do with Cloudfare Protection? Because I heard that every other script is not working anymore.

I've had this same problem off and on for awhile now. Usually I wait about a day and it clears itself up, but that doesn't seem to be the case this time. I was actually on my way here to see if anyone was having the same issue.

In the meantime, you could use youtube-dl. It seems to still work.

youtube-dl is having the same issue as well. looks like crunchyroll did change something with its cloudfare protection so it requires you to do a captcha manually

My guess is that crunchyroll finally added captcha to its login which it previously didn't have (or if it did have it I just never noticed and this app never should have worked to begin with). The fix for this (hopefully) is to use the mobile app API (see streamlink's implmenetation). If I get some free time I'll work on a PR for this to fix it.

switched to https://github.com/hama3254/Crunchyroll-Downloader-v3.0

Thanks for the recommendation @hekmon . I use this method currently because it's easy to automate and leave in the background. Is it easy to manage multiple shows with this software. Also at the moment I archive the download to a separate drive and create a blank empty file with the same name to trick the software into think its downloaded without taking up space. Would I have to do something similar for this application too?

[hekmon]

Wow. I have no idea 🤔

Your usage of the app is for more advanced than mine 😅

[theclickman]

I do also automate a bit with anirip to sync the show I want on a regular basis.
The one you suggested to work, but cannot be automated at all, you can only process 2 at once, cannot queue more... must wait to complete to get another one...
ok it do the job, but not the way we were expecting with anirip.

same issue here, thank you for the recommendation @hekmon
