Youtube Integration/"Connect Account" issue

[laputanmachine]

You know the new youtube account integration feature?
Well, when I go to Stream and select "Connect Account" (with Youtube - RTMPS on the dropdown of course)
It opens a Google webpage in my browser. I click "Continue" when prompted by the google page prompt("OBS Studio wants access to your Google Account") OBS sends me to a 127.0.0.1 page (always on a different port? but in the same range?) which always says
"This site can’t be reached
127.0.0.1 refused to connect."

on the browsers I tried to open them. Pinging 127.0.0.1 works fine.

Is there a way to make this work? Or at least bypass using the browser to do whatever needs to be done at that URL and finish integration?

Is there really nothing I can do with the 127.0.0.1 URL if my browsers won't load it?

I don't use that integration feature so I'm not commenting on that

127.0.01 = no place like home [humor]
127.0.0.1 is a loopback address ie it is effectively an alias for your own IP address [not something outside your PC, much less LAN, and certainly not Internet . [IP adressing 101] so seems odd for Google page prompt to redirect to that address...

there's a bunch of characters past the 127.0.0.1:XXXXX
it's like
/?state= bunch of characters
then &code= bunch of characters
then it ends with &scope=https://www.googleapis.com/auth/youtube

also, a correction, it doesn't seem to be in a certain range of ports as I previously had assumed

I assume somehow that link is supposed to "open" OBS and feed it a login token, or something
If only there was a way to feed the link to OBS directly

OBS listens on that localhost port for the token. Don't close OBS while the browser window is open.

This happens without closing OBS.

Then something on your system is interfering with loopback access, probably some firewall / security thing.

I've already tried turning off firewall, no dice. No clue what else to try.
