Get new cookies for ~/gallery-dl/cookies/cookies.txt.

gallery-dl --clear-cache seiga

  "username": "REDACTED",
  "password": "REDACTED"

seiga no longer supports login with username & password (fc277fa), so none of this has any effect.

[a84r7a3rga76fg]

@mikf gallery-dl --clear-cache seiga doesn't work on my end. I removed the username and password and the error is still the same.

So you've managed to ignore or misread all previous posts, and you are using an outdated gallery-dl version from before March 2022. Nice.

1. update gallery-dl
2. remove username and password from your config
3. update cookies in ~/gallery-dl/cookies/cookies.txt (if necessary)

(Any reference to https://account.nicovideo.jp/ was removed in commit fc277fa, in case anyone is wondering how I know his gdl is outdated)

[a84r7a3rga76fg]

It's not an outdated version, the latest version was uploaded a month ago and I downloaded it weeks ago. https://github.com/mikf/gallery-dl/releases/tag/v1.24.1

I apologize for making a wrong assumption based on your incomplete log.
The solution to your problem still hasn't changed, though:

Get new cookies for ~/gallery-dl/cookies/cookies.txt.

update cookies in ~/gallery-dl/cookies/cookies.txt

---

With commit 7851a2c, gallery-dl will now detect such cases and properly raise an error instead of downloading HTML files.

[a84r7a3rga76fg]

I've changed it to "cookies": "~/gallery-dl/cookies/cookies_seiga.txt" and it says [seiga][error] 'user_session' cookie required, how do I get the cookie for Seiga?

[mikf]

By logging into nicovideo.jp, the parent site of seiga.nicovideo.jp.
Go to https://account.nicovideo.jp/login?site=seiga, login, and export cookies for .nicovideo.jp.
