Help with pinterest config

[bigfranko]

I started having trouble with pinterest today. I added cookies to the config and got it to download but its not to the directory I have set. Thanks in advance.

        "pinterest":
        {
            "username": "xxxxxxxxxxx" ,
            "password": "xxxxxxx" ,
            "cookies": "Firefox",
            "domain": "auto",
            "sections": true,
            "videos": "ytdl",
			
        },

"videos": "ytdl",

If this actually is the last line in "pinterest", it will cause a JSON error due to the trailing comma and your config file will not get loaded as a result.

"cookies": "Firefox",

Change this to "cookies": ["Firefox"], if you want to extract cookies from Firefox.
With just "Firefox", it would try to load cookies from a file called "Firefox" and most likely cause an error since this "file" doesn't exist.

"username": "xxxxxxxxxxx" ,
"password": "xxxxxxx" ,

These don't do anything for Pinterest, so you might as well remove them.

Awesome, that got going where I wanted them. One last thing, I get this error on a file here and there.
[downloader.ytdl][error] Cannot import module 'youtube_dl'

You need to install youtube-dl or yt-dlp to download videos.
