Extract cookie data from firefox for streamlink tvplayer plugin

cookie-fetch.sh

#!/bin/bash

prof=`grep "Path" ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini|cut -d '=' -f 2|tail -1`

cp ~/.mozilla/firefox/$prof/cookies.sqlite ~/.cookies.sqlite

persist=`sqlite3 ~/.cookies.sqlite "select value from moz_cookies where baseDomain like '%vplayer%' and name='persistence-v2';"`

rm ~/.cookies.sqlite

streamlink --http-cookie persistence-v2="$persist" --tvplayer-email [email protected] --tvplayer-password password --player=vlc https://tvplayer.com/watch/channel4 best

I checked that the script pulls the same value as is in the broswer. If you're getting a value that's different then it must be coming from a different firefox profile, or maybe you've got extra cookies stored that meet the same query parameters? Have you got more than one entry for persistence-v2 when you browse the cookies in firefox?
