Bot Detection - YT-DLP

Member
Hi, I am having problems using yt-dlp. After fixing the whole program from the amount of errors that the auto installer throws, I installed everything as usual when I used to use it (Two years). Now it turns out that it throws a new error, which I have been trying to fix for 3 hours in the morning and I can't. So I turn to you. So I turn to you. I show the message it shows me in the Uploads part:

“Sign in to confirm you're not a bot. Use --cookies-from-browser or --cookies for the authentication.”

I tried with setting cookies with a local file, with one from a browser, but nothing, no solution (From me). Can someone help me?
 
I had this problem recently, and the --cookies-from-browser option worked for me, but you have to specify the browser, for example :

bash
Copy
Edit
yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser chrome URL
If that doesn't work, try with Firefox or Edge depending on what you're using. If not, update yt-dlp and test again. Do you have the latest version?

Having this same problem, but not sure where exactly I should be putting in --cookies, if I put it in at the start of a 'download files' job without anything else, I get a response that it requires on argument.

I have a cookies.txt and the path to it, if I put --cookies /path/to/cookies.txt I get told... "no such option" in response by yt-dlp via the output.

Where/how exactly are you supposed to feed yt-dlp a cookies file properly for sinusbot?

I've tried adding it to the ini file, that just makes sinusbot say yt-dlp is unavailable... I can't add it to the input field for the URL because it breaks if I do that... if I literally do it from the binary its using with a cookies.txt file, it works totally fine via the CLI so I just need to know how to get Sinusbot to use that argument.
