Description

Getting an error when downloading from discovery. It seems to be hit and miss, sometimes it works and sometimes not. I have a cable account and am using cookies.

On Discovery's sites you need to save cookies.txt right before each download. The token expires after about 15 minutes.

[Hemps38]

I'm stuck on the saving cookies before each download part, I have links in .txt file

Here's my script, ideas to improve it OR make it save cookies before each download?

@echo off
cls
:start
:SET_SCRIPT_VARIABLES
SET YTDL=C:\youtubedl\youtube-dl.exe
SET NCCV=C:\youtubedl\ChromeCookiesView.exe
SET DDIR=C:\youtubedl
SET CFIL=%DDIR%\cookies.txt

:GET_COOKIES
IF EXIST %NCCV% (
IF EXIST %DDIR% (
START /WAIT "ChromeCookiesView" "%NCCV%" /scookiestxt "%CFIL%"
)
)
:FIX_COOKIES
IF EXIST "%CFIL%" (
COPY "%CFIL%" "%TEMP%\cookies.txt"
ECHO # Netscape HTTP Cookie File>"%CFIL%"
TYPE "%TEMP%\cookies.txt">>"%CFIL%"
DEL "%TEMP%\cookies.txt"
)

youtube-dl.exe -i --force-ipv4 --hls-prefer-native --download-archive downloaded.txt --restrict-filenames --cookies cookies.txt --continue --no-check-certificate --verbose -o "C:\MyVideos/%%(series)s/%%(season)s/%%(episode_number)s.%%(season_number) - %%(series)s.%%(title)s.%%(ext)s" -a, --batch-file diy.txt
