Site request: Watch disney XD online.

Additional note: Watching in browser requires going to my TV provider for a login cookie. So, there will be some sort of cookie requirement, and I don't know how to make that work, unless there's some way to point youtube-dl at firefox's cookies.

https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl#how-do-i-pass-cookies-to-youtube-dl

[keybounce]

To clarify: How do I get the permission cookie out from Firefox into a format that YouTube-dl is happy with?

i.e.: I've signed in from Firefox. Firefox is holding a cookie. I need to give that cookie to youtube-dl. How?

[dstftw]

Export it with any relevant Firefox add-on.

[keybounce]

... Now for the fun part -- FINDING the cookie. "go.com" lists no cookies in firefox.

[keybounce]

OK, so my first attempt: Once I've gotten the video playing in browser, I exported my entire cookie file, and gave it to youtube-dl.

That didn't work well.

Not only did "Requesting header" take a very long time, it was followed by "Could not send HEAD request".

It seems that youtube-dl does not figure out which cookies are relevant (so you can't just use your browser's current cookie file), but instead I have to filter them.

That's painful. I saw at least three sites involved in the permission negotiation -- adobe, dish, and go.com -- and that's just what I saw (there may be others as well, I had to disable both privacy badger and uBlock from blocking to get it to work in-browser).

[keybounce]

Does the tag mean that you need to use my TV account details?

[keybounce]

Alright, this is NOT a "Tv Provider needed" issue. At least not exclusively.

http://watchdisneyxd.go.com/lego-star-wars-the-freemaker-adventures/video/vdka0_bnih2mwb/01/01-a-hero-discovered#playlist=PL551978168 no longer needs a TV provider -- in fact, the first three episodes are now available to anyone at http://watchdisneyxd.go.com/lego-star-wars-the-freemaker-adventures/

So ... yea, something might be needed for the rest of them (#4-9), but some episodes should just work.
