Does streamlink support importing cookies as a file like youtube-dl?

[chorong761]

I'm trying to import cookies for a site with no plugin support, but I don't know where to find the cookie I need when using --http-cookie. Does streamlink support a cookie file for the while site like youtube-dl does? Or am I doing something wrong?

Thank You.

I don't know where to find the cookie I need when using --http-cookie

As described in the docs, you can set multiple --http-cookie=key=value parameters:

streamlink --http-cookie 'key1=value2' --http-cookie 'key2=value2' URL QUALITY

Does streamlink support a cookie file like youtube-dl does

No, it does not, but you can add a custom config file that gets loaded via --config which then includes those http-cookie parameters:

If one wants a --http-cookie-file or --http-header-file parameter for Streamlink's CLI, they can submit a pull request that will then be reviewed.
