7 months ago The guide is made for Windows as evident from the screenshots because I have no idea how to get the cookies in Termux. Unless there's a way to somehow login to YouTube or get the Cookies in Termux, I'm not sure how to fix this

We can obtain cookies but how to supply? I can see there is an arg, is it take as file or string?

7 months ago Fixed by manually suppling the cookies obtained with firefox addon.
Just need to use use cookiefile instead of cookiesfrombrowser in opts.
Then run python main.py --cookiesfrombrowser cookie.txt
