[Failed to execute script __main__] When I try to use Oauth for DA

[Galewin]

I'm using the windows standalone version of gallery-DL, whenever I try to set up Oatuh for DA, I get this error

C:\Users\galew>D:\DA-RIP\gallery-dl.exe oauth:deviantart

The new browser option introduced in v1.17.0 clashes with the name of the existing oauth.browser option, and the config value lookup does some unfavorable things.

You can set the value of oauth.browser to "true" (or any other string value) as a workaround.

That's strange, oauth.browser was already set to true, by setting it to false, I was able to copy and paste the url and use get the token though...

Also, I have a question, I can't wrap my head around all the identifications possibilities of gallery DL. From what I could understand, you can use Oauth, you use login cookies for mature scraps and refresh tokens for "premium" content like watchers only pictures ?

Maybe I'm using inneficient methods for DA like Cookies are not needed with Oauth or something like that, but I'm not sure now...

oauth.browser was already set to true

Probably from the default config file:

gallery-dl/docs/gallery-dl.conf

Lines 168 to 173 in 5c32a7b

	"oauth":
	{
	"browser": true,
	"cache": true,
	"port": 6414
	},

From what I could understand, you can use Oauth, you use login cookies for mature scraps and refresh tokens for "premium" content like watchers only pictures ?

Yep, you use refresh tokens to access private or restricted content.
Usually that would be enough, but, because dA's API is incomplete, we need to access the regular website for scraps (/USER/gallery/scraps), and there it lists the mature-rated ones only when logged in, meaning you also need cookies for those.

Ha, I get it, thank you for the explanation !
