Clone Error - Server Timeout

[g-d-s-q]

Hello :)

It took me a few hours as a complete newbie to code (so sorry if I don't name things how they should be named), but I managed to self-serve correctly and established a server connection.
I get a clone error though when it gets to cloning the playlist.

I've tried playlists of varying sizes to check if that's where the issue might be - still an error.

In the Dev tools tab, I see a "500 internal server error" pop up.
In the JSON request tab all the text is red.
In the response tab, I read this message: "Failed to setup YouTube Music API: The following entries are missing in your headers: cookie. Please try a different request (such as /browse) and make sure you are logged in."

But I followed the web instructions on finding an authenticated POST request to a T.
I separately checked the cookie entry and it is already there.
So, I don't know why this is the response I get.

Let me know if you need any more information to help.

Hey there!

It took me a few hours as a complete newbie to code (so sorry if I don't name things how they should be named)

Firstly, I'm glad you decided to take the time to experiment around with code yourself :)

Coming to possible solutions to your issue:

As the error suggests, some of the headers might not be copied from the network tab, so do verify if you're copying things correctly.

Assuming that the headers were copied just fine, something that might be causing this issue would be the authentication cookie no longer being valid–in simpler terms you might have logged out (or automatically been logged out for other reasons) of your account and had to log back in. This would refresh the auth cookie.

Think of it like a stamp of approval your browser has in order to prove that you're logged in. Logging out invalidates the existing stamp and logging back in issues you a new stamp different from the previous one.

If you copied the cookie earlier, you might be trying to use the older invalid cookie in the app which might be throwing this error.

I hope this helps :)
