I can't do that the video node uses the cookies coming from an mpd manifest header response

Hey Roku Community!

 

As I say in the title, I can't do that the video node uses the cookies coming from an mpd manifest header response. I'm already calling the video node method `enableCookies()` in different moments, and that's not working.

Based on some findings, I was able to follow a flow where:

1. do a GET request to the manifest URL

2. get response header to read `set-cookies` value

3. build cookie to be set by using addCookies() method

And doing this flow, something weird is happening. it doesn't work the first time I try to start playback (calling video.control = "start"), and the cookies that were added get cleared. But if I set cookies again (step 3) and start playback (video.control = "start"), it works!

in my opinion, it must be enough to get cookies added in the video node's HTTP agent with just previously call enableCookies(). Is it possible that there are something else that I should try?

Thanks!
