When get_playlist() or get_segment() received a 500, the code tried authenticate(). If that also returned 500 (server temporarily unreachable), it called clear_all_cookies() then login() — which also returned 500. This left the proxy with no cookies at all, permanently broken until manual recovery, even though the original session was still valid and the server outage was transient.

Changes

  • get_playlist and get_segment: clear_all_cookies() + fresh-login fallback is now gated on $status_code == 403 only. A 500 after a failed re-auth logs a warning and returns undef, preserving all cookies so the next request can resume automatically when the server recovers.

  • Startup crash fix: analyze_cookies() was called inside the cookie-loading eval block before $self->{ua} was initialized. Moved the call to after $self->{ua} = LWP::UserAgent->new(...) and wrapped it in its own eval.

  • Server failover now triggered for playlist CDN failures: get_playlist() was missing record_channel_failure() / record_channel_success() calls on the CDN playlist request. Repeated 500s from the primary CDN would never accumulate toward SERVER_FAILURE_THRESHOLD and the switch to the secondary server would never fire. Fixed to mirror the existing pattern in get_segment().

Original prompt

Create a pull request for repo paul-1/plugin-SiriusXM to change cookie handling in Plugins/SiriusXM/Bin/sxm.pl so that:

  1. Login/auth cookies are tracked only in the global cookie jar (the jar tied to --cookiefile), and are not duplicated into per-channel jars.

    • Treat cookies like SXMDATA and SXMAKTOKEN as global auth cookies.
  2. Channel-specific cookie jars track only session cookies (e.g. AWSALB, JSESSIONID, and any other short-lived/session affinity cookies needed per channel).

  3. When making channel requests, combine cookies from the global auth jar and the channel session jar into a single outgoing Cookie: header.

    • LWP::UserAgent supports only one cookie_jar; implement explicit merge by composing the Cookie: header for each request.
    • Ensure channel requests always include global auth cookies + the channel’s session cookies.
  4. When processing responses, route Set-Cookie values into the correct jar based on cookie name:

    • Global jar: auth cookies.
    • Channel jar: session cookies.
    • Unknown cookies: choose a safe default (prefer channel jar) but do not store auth cookies into channel jars.
  5. Remove or deprecate the current copy_auth_cookies_to_channel() approach so per-channel jars do not persist login/auth cookies.

  6. Update logging to reflect the new model (e.g., log which jars are being used/merged, but never log full cookie values).

  7. Keep behavior compatible with existing command-line options, including --cookiefile and cache directory behavior.

  8. Add a small internal test helper or debug function if appropriate (e.g., to dump cookie names per jar for trace logging), but avoid new external dependencies.

Context:

  • File to modify: Plugins/SiriusXM/Bin/sxm.pl
  • The user’s goal: login cookies should only be tracked against the global cookie. Channel specific cookies should always populate login data from the global cookie. Channel specific cookies should only track session data, but requests should include both.

Please implement this refactor carefully so playback/authentication continues to work.

...

The log in your comment was truncated — the comment system stopped parsing at what it interpreted as an XML closing tag in the log content (the message cuts off right after DEBUG ). Could you share the full log output? You can paste it as a code block (wrap in triple-backticks) or as a plain text attachment.

A few things that would help most:

  1. The complete DEBUG message at 13:23:42.886 and any messages immediately following it
  2. The WARN or ERROR messages nearby (especially "Missing token or gup_id" or "Unable to authenticate" if any appear)
  3. The log level you were running at (DEBUG, TRACE, etc.)

In the meantime I've audited the new cookie-routing code and the path for get_sxmak_token() / get_gup_id() — both now read exclusively from the global jar, which is correct. The auth cookies (SXMDATA, SXMAKTOKEN) flow: login() (undef channel → global jar) → persisted to --cookiefile. I don't see an obvious regression, but the full log will tell us exactly what was happening.

The log is still being truncated at the same spot — the line after DEBUG contains a < character that the comment parser treats as the start of an XML tag, so everything from that point onward is stripped.

Could you share the log one of these ways instead?

  • Paste it into a GitHub Gist (gist.github.com) and link it here
  • Attach a .txt file to the comment
  • Replace < with &lt; in the log snippet before pasting

The exact content of that DEBUG line (and any WARN/ERROR lines nearby) is what I need to identify the root cause.

@copilot Try this gist: https://gist.github.com/paul-1/cb8095ac4b39da79df27d5b5e59b58da#file-sxm-log

Thanks for the gist. The log made the issue clear.

Root cause: login() was hardcoded to use channel_id=undef, so the login request's Cookie: header only carried global jar cookies (SXMDATA). The SiriusXM server returns SXMAKTOKEN in the login response only when session affinity cookies (incapsula visid_incap_*, incap_ses_*) are present in the request — and those cookies live in the channel jar, not the global jar. Without them, the server never returned SXMAKTOKEN, so get_sxmak_token() was always returning null after a login/renew cycle.

Fix (commit 3f33a5e): Changed login() to pass $channel_id to post_request instead of hardcoded undef. make_channel_request() now composes the Cookie: header with both global auth cookies and the channel's session cookies, route_response_cookies() then puts SXMDATA/SXMAKTOKEN from the response into the global jar and session cookies into the channel jar — exactly the intended architecture.

Three separate bugs identified and fixed in commit 8fd8525:

Bug 1 — Renewal feedback loop (SXMAKTOKEN expires in 20m): should_renew_cookies() fired for SXMAKTOKEN → is_logged_in() returned false → login() called → server responded status=1 but without a new SXMAKTOKEN → is_logged_in() (called inside login() to verify success) still returned false because SXMAKTOKEN was still near-expiry → login() falsely reported failure → clear_all_cookies() called → SXMAKTOKEN permanently destroyed.

Bug 2 — SXMAKTOKEN permanently lost: The SiriusXM server never returns a new SXMAKTOKEN in routine login/authenticate responses (confirmed across both log traces). Once clear_all_cookies() wiped it, it was gone forever, causing "Missing token or gup_id" to loop indefinitely.

Fixes applied:

  1. should_renew_cookies() now only checks SXMDATA expiry (not SXMAKTOKEN) — renewal for a token the server will never re-issue is harmful, not helpful.
  2. login() success check now verifies SXMDATA directly (not via is_logged_in()) — breaks the renewal-triggered failure loop.
  3. get_sxmak_token() now caches the last-known value in $self->{sxmaktoken_cache} — if the cookie jar loses the entry (expiry or clear_all_cookies()), the cached value is used as fallback since the server typically still accepts it.

Root cause identified and fixed in commit 9f03323.

Root cause — SXMAKTOKEN is a per-session/per-channel token, not an account-level token. The SiriusXM server issues a unique SXMAKTOKEN for each authenticate() call. With two channels active:

  1. Channel 9450 authenticates → SXMAKTOKEN_A stored in global jar
  2. Channel thepulse authenticates → SXMAKTOKEN_B overwrites SXMAKTOKEN_A in global jar
  3. Channel 9450's next playlist request uses SXMAKTOKEN_B (minted for thepulse's session) → 403
  4. 9450 re-authenticates → SXMAKTOKEN_C overwrites thepulse's token → 403 for thepulse
  5. Infinite loop

Fix: Moved SXMAKTOKEN from %AUTH_COOKIE_NAMES (global jar) to %SESSION_COOKIE_NAMES (per-channel jar). Now each channel holds its own SXMAKTOKEN independently:

  • route_response_cookies() routes it into the channel jar instead of global
  • compose_cookie_header() picks it up from the channel jar automatically
  • get_sxmak_token($channel_id) reads from the channel's jar, not the global jar
  • sxmaktoken_cache is now a per-channel hashref {} so the fallback cache is also isolated per channel

Fixed in commit 49415e4:

  1. analyze_cookies — skips SXMAKTOKEN when scanning the global jar (global context). Since it's per-channel only, any entry there is stale and will never be refreshed at that level — no more nuisance warnings.

  2. Startup cleanup — after loading the cookie file, any SXMAKTOKEN entries in the global jar are removed via clear() and the file is saved. This one-time migration removes the stale entry left by older versions so it doesn't persist indefinitely.

@copilot I tried to play sxm today after not using for a couple of days. There was a problem with playback, can you analyze the log. https://gist.github.com/paul-1/1ffe8ca195d0833...

Yes, there was a bug — fixed in commit 2cc1711.

What the log showed: At 15:40:56 the SiriusXM CDN returned a transient 500 on the background playlist refresh. The code then called authenticate() → the resume endpoint also returned 500 (brief API-server blip). Because authenticate() failed, the code fell through to clear_all_cookies() + login() — which also returned 500 — permanently destroying all valid session cookies for what was just a momentary outage. Playback couldn't recover until the proxy was manually restarted.

Root cause: get_playlist() and get_segment() treated 500 (transient server error) identically to 403 (genuine auth rejection) when deciding whether to call clear_all_cookies().

Fix: clear_all_cookies() is now only triggered when the original response was a 403 (real auth failure). When it's a 500 and authenticate() also fails, the code returns undef and preserves cookies so the next scheduled retry succeeds normally. A 500 with a successful authenticate() still retries as before.

Fixed in d15227f.

The crash was an ordering bug in new(): analyze_cookies() was called inside the cookie-loading eval block (line 482), but $self->{ua} isn't initialized until lines 496–500 — after the eval completes. analyze_cookies then called $self->{ua}->cookie_jar on the still-undef ua, causing the crash.

Fix: removed analyze_cookies from the eval block and moved it to after $self->{ua} is created, wrapped in its own eval.

@copilot still seeing errors, these could be problems with the primary server, should this not have switched to try teh secondary server?

...

Your log is truncated again at the same spot — the < character in the DEBUG message is stripped by the comment parser. If you can share it via a Gist I can confirm the exact error path.

That said, the code bug is clear from inspection alone and is fixed in 9224ea2: get_playlist() was never calling record_channel_failure() on a 500 (or any other CDN error), so the failure counter never incremented and the server-switch logic (SERVER_FAILURE_THRESHOLD = 3) was never triggered for playlist requests. get_segment() already had these calls — get_playlist() was simply missing them.

The fix adds:

  • record_channel_failure() when a 403 or 500 is received on the playlist CDN request
  • record_channel_failure() for any other non-success status on the same request
  • record_channel_success() when the playlist is fetched successfully (resets the counter)

After 3 consecutive playlist CDN failures the proxy will now switch to the secondary server, same as it already did for segment failures.
