The persistent major problem of cookies and the need to add new yt-dlp plugins and some tools to fix this problem

[trimechee]

Hello, Thank you so much dor the new awesome version ! 💯 🥇

so once again the problem of importing cookies to be able to download from youtube occupies a central place in the ussies of yt-dlp, in comments many people offer more or less complicated solutions and tips, and sometimes it works temporarily, sometimes it doesn't work....

yt-dlp/yt-dlp#8227

yt-dlp/yt-dlp#11090

yt-dlp/yt-dlp#10927

i read the issues and the different solutions and this solution seems to me the most compatible with our beloved Persepolis downlad manager : this solution is to add these 2 vital plugins or add an option to easily add these capital 2 vital plugins to fix cookies problems :

to summurize :

yt-dlp cookies imports
https://github.com/coletdjnz/yt-dlp-youtube-oauth2
https://github.com/coletdjnz/yt-dlp-get-pot
https://github.com/seproDev/yt-dlp-ChromeCookieUnlock
https://github.com/ytdl-patched/ytdl-patched

https://github.com/pratikpatel8982/yt-dlp-mp4decrypt

ffmpeg nonfree

https://www.animmouse.com/projects/ffmpeg-autobuild/
https://www.animmouse.com/p/ffmpeg-binaries/
https://github.com/nilaoda/FFmpeg-Builds

https://github.com/54ac/stream-detector (the eveloper said to me he plans to relaunch and update the project soon with new features enhancements and this rare extension can export cookies to external donwloaders !)

same thing for :

https://github.com/zaidka/cliget

---

This repository contains a plugin package that adds support for logging into YouTube with OAuth2 to yt-dlp YouTube Extractors :

https://github.com/coletdjnz/yt-dlp-youtube-oauth2

and

A plugin framework for yt-dlp that allows the YouTube extractor to request Proof of Origin (PO) Tokens from an external source when needed. It allows for multiple providers to co-exist and provide PO Tokens for different scenarios.

https://github.com/coletdjnz/yt-dlp-get-pot

and

A yt-dlp plugin to unlock the cookie database of chromium-based browsers

https://github.com/seproDev/yt-dlp-ChromeCookieUnlock

so the risk is very serious and yt-dlp might not be able to download youtube in the near future, we hope they will be supported please, and these plugins will be optional and it is up to the user to choose with his free will to install it or not, thank you very much!
