Hello,
Im not terribly adept at this, but I got yt.dlp working. There is one age gated video Ive been wanting to watch. I tried inputing the credentials for a verified youtube account, and I got an error message with
“log in with password is not supported for youtube.” Then listed error 7271, could not copy chrome cookie data, which I thought was weird, because I dont have chrome and was not using it as the browser.
Am I missing something? Or is this functionality no longer available, at least for the time being?
For ytdlp to access content that requires a login, it needs to pass a browser’s cookies to YouTube to show that is logged in.
I know, Im logged into youtube on Edge and I told it to use the cookies from there.
It may interpret Edge as Chrome since they’re both Chromium based.
