Thanks for the report.

I can't reproduce the issue with https://youtu.be/llmWH99cJBo.

It seems https://youtu.be/Bknc2lLj_N4 fails because it is a restricted video: https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/issues/26152

Same issue with: https://youtu.be/JlJcFg4ox_s

Might be related to this issue in yt-dl which was fixed in July with this PR This is a video for kids, might be the issue if not handled correctly on download.

[Rudloff]

I can't watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JlJcFg4ox_s&feature=youtu.be, it seems to require Youtube Premium

I upgraded youtube-dl on the develop branch and now https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bknc2lLj_N4&feature=youtu.be downloads correctly, so I am closing.

[psistorm]

Any chance to allow YouTube login and store those cookies for alltube to be able to use this login to download Premium videos as well? Or is this not possible via the YouTube API?

[Rudloff]

It would theoretically be possible, but it would have to be supported by youtube-dl first.

[psistorm]

As I see it youtube-dl support it already when I handover a cookies.txt like youtube-dl --cookies /pathtocookiefile

[Rudloff]

What I meant was waiting for youtube-dl to not crash with the URL you gave. Also, please open a separate issue for this feature request.
