joe

were do i place the cookies?

Germania

joe were do i place the cookies?

It says so right there under your link:

If you wish to manually pass cookies, use the –cookies option,
for example: –cookies /path/to/cookies/file.txt

But you can use this only with yt-dlp
because you can’t change the used cmdline for YoutubeToMP3Process in SF

Germania

joe i have exported all cookies out and i still get this issue ?

Please read post 3 again:

joe this is still a issue in the new update

Please read post 8 again:

Germania As long as yt-dlp cannot fix this, it will also fail in SF,
since SF uses a modified version of yt-dlp.

The question is already answered

joe

joe

the only program that worked is video helper but i have thousands of videos to grab and would take me years to do one by one

joe

any updates

Germania

joe any updates

As long as yt-dlp cannot fix this, it will also fail in SF,
since SF uses a modified version of yt-dlp.

joe

the only way to get yt-dlp to download it is to leave the window open on the website

take it from cookies from browser

get direct link to m3u8 and then run it

once you close the website and open it again its new cookies etc until the window is closed

joe

Looks like yt-dlp 2026.02.21 have a fix: learningonscreen: Fix extractor
so try again with your cookies and current yt-dlp

Once it’s updated in SF, it might work in SF.

Stan001

Fixed in the latest yt-dlp, even though no one has an account; hopefully the fix is passed onto SF 7014.
New: Some improvements on the YouTube Downloader download engine.
