you need to use pnpm, not npm, to install. it never told you to use npm.

https://www.google.com/device

Hello, please take a closer look at the image above. I can assure you that it is a dependency for pnpm install. I used both npm and pnpm, but it still doesn't work. I can confirm that my local cobalt project dependency has been installed. Is there a problem with my steps? Here are my specific steps,
(1) After pulling the cobalt project, pnpm install installs dependencies
(2) Open Google Chrome in incognito mode and enter the address: https://www.google.com/device
(3) Open a new window in incognito Google Chrome, go to www.youtube.com, and log in to your account
(4) Running in the cobalt project API directory: npm run token: YouTube

Is there any problem with my steps above

And I found that every time I input:

https://www.google.com/device Afterwards, the address will change to:

https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/device/usercode?ddm=1&flowName=DeviceOAuth

what’s happening here is that the request made to youtube is timing out. you could try increasing the timeout for requests by adding this to the top of api/src/util/generate-youtube-tokens.js:

import { Agent, setGlobalDispatcher } from 'undici';

setGlobalDispatcher(new Agent({
    connect: { timeout: 60000 }
}));

image Hello, I added the method you mentioned above, but still cannot obtain cookies. Is it because I am in China, but I have a VPN that allows me to browse YouTube and access foreign websites? So it's strange

I am very troubled. The VPN I am using with Clashx has already set up a global connection and entered the command in the terminal management:

export http_proxy= http://127.0.0.1:7890
export https_proxy= http://127.0.0.1:7890
export all_proxy=socks5://127.0.0.1:7890

But even after running it, it still shows that I can't get YouTube or cookies, and I'm a little suspicious of myself.

Do you have a recommended VPN? I'll give it a try

Got it, is that there's no way to open a VPN

明白了，就是没办法开通VPN

Is it true that even if I open a VPN in China, there's no way, right？
