It won't work in WSL, puppeteer can't pop up a browser window. Run it with Windows Node.js in cmd.exe or PowerShell.

[happybear88]

Did I miss this in readme? If not, please consider documenting it.

[snobu]

You didn't, we left it out by accident. I'll add a note for it right now. Thanks for reporting this one.

Quick update here, i've tested this on WSL2 and it does work, however you'll need an Xserver so puppeteer can launch the Linux-flavored Chromium that comes down with npm install. You may also be able to plug in a Windows Chromium-based browser (since WSL2 can still launch Windows binaries) by hooking into executablePath in destreamer.ts:

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
        executablePath: "/mnt/c/path/to/your/chrome.exe"
        headless: false,
        args: ['--disable-dev-shm-usage']
    });

^ That i didn't test so it's still just speculation.

I did however test running an Xserver and exporting DISPLAY to it, and that works -

# For WSL1
# Start Xming on Windows
export DISPLAY=:0
./destreamer.sh -i URL_TO_VIDEO

# For WSL2
# Start Xming on Windows
export DISPLAY=$(grep nameserver /etc/resolv.conf | cut -f2 -d ' '):0
./destreamer.sh -i URL_TO_VIDEO

Xming -

Just confirming that @snobu 's comment about using your Windows version of Chrome (below) does work.

const browser = await puppeteer.launch({
        executablePath: "/mnt/c/path/to/your/chrome.exe"
        headless: false,
        args: ['--disable-dev-shm-usage']
    });

The XServer solution was not working for me, as the Chromium window was not rendering any content.

The only caveat is that you need to manually close the Chrome window after a successful login, as the script will fail to do it.

Hi, I'm trying to run destreamer on wsl2.
I changed the executablePath to my windows chrome.exe, but it is not rendering any content.

In console I get this error:

[WARNING] .token_cache not found.
Launching headless Chrome to perform the OpenID Connect dance...
[ERROR] [object Object]

Do you know what could be the problem?

I have the same problem. I can't seem to make it work even with xming

I think you need to add a back slash
Like this

        executablePath: "\/mnt\/c\/path\/to\/your\/chrome.exe"
        headless: false,
        args: ['--disable-dev-shm-usage']
    });

I ended up using this tutorial on yt, works as a charm

I managed to get it working with WSL2 and GWSL (from the Microsoft Store). I had to install these dependencies beforehand:

sudo apt install -y libatk-bridge2.0-dev libatk1.0-dev libnss3-dev libcups2-dev libgtk-3-dev

I'm using an Ubuntu 20.04 distro from the store. After installing GWSL so that the X server is configured, as well as the dependencies above that are required to run GTK apps, it's all working smoothly.

I can make a PR that runs these steps / suggests GWSL if WSL2 environments are detected.

Thanks for the tool, guys! It's really useful!
