Add option to login for private streams #57

I'm not sure if its already there but it would be great if we can login if a stream is private. Of course we'll need credentials first.

You can use the below addon for FF or Chrome to download a cookies file for sites. While on youtube, use this to download cookies for youtube.com (not www.youtube.com), and pass that file to ytarchive using --cookies https://github.com/rotemdan/ExportCookies

Sorry newbie here. would the final command looks like this: "Enter a youtube livestream URL: ytarchive -c cookies-youtube-com.txt https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FAifFtZQzco"? When I opened the ytarchive.exe, the prompt is already Enter a youtube livestream URL:, so I cant follow.

Also, how to support you? I think this is a great project, I'd like to buy you a dinner. ;)

You have to open it via a console to use the flags. Either cmd.exe or Powershell work. It sucks having to get to the directory the exe is in but you can partially blame M$ for not having some kind of "open in cmd" in the context menu.

Alternatively, make a new file in the same directory you have ytarchive.exe called yta.bat, and put this in it: ytarchive.exe -c cookies-youtube-com.txt You should then be able to double-click that bat file. Make sure your cookies file is in the same directory as well.

Lastly I don't accept donations. Thanks for the thought, though.

I have it figured out. For the benefits of other newbie, what I did is: download latest ffmpeg build and have it on the same folder. It works that way. I'm closing this issue. Thanks a lot!

Yup, that would be it. Sorry for the late response, I was in a meeting for wark.
