is it possible to extract Firefox cookies and make username.json manually?

[yuyoiuyoiu]

I've been having trouble logging into a new Instagram account with PyInstaLive recently, but the old non-expired JSON files still work well.
Does anyone know how to extract cookies from Firefox to make a username.json manually for PyInstaLive?

[W] Unable to find cookie file: username.json
[I] Creating a new one.
[E] Could not login: {"message":"Please wait a few minutes before you try again.","require_login":true,"status":"fail"}

using PyInstaLive v3.2.4

I made a fork that allows Netscape cookies to be loaded from a .txt file instead of the .dat file. I use this plugin to extract the cookies. Let me know if you have any issues running it

@samuelchristlie Thank you for the fork. Unfortunately I still can't record live stream with it.
.dat file can be generated normally with cookies file but nothing can be downloaded. Instagram instantly shut down the access

[I] Livestream available, starting download.

[E] The livestream host has possibly lost connection with Instagram.

[I] The livestream has been ended.

[I] Airing time  : 2 minutes and 19 seconds
[I] Downloaded   : 0 minute and 1 seconds
[I] Missing      : 2 minutes and 18 seconds

only an empty folder is added.

@kdurov That's a separate issue, I'm currently working on it. Could you please create an issue on my fork?

[samuelchristlie]

I'll keep you guys updated, next release should fix both this issue and #161 :)

Edit: Should work fine now
