Hi, I use macOS big sur on an old MacBook Pro.

I have downloaded yt-dlp and put it in /usr/local/bin.

I run the install command for oauth extension but still when I try to download from YouTube it says that login and password is not supported. I have put the login command in my yt-dlp config file. It works on my PC with Linux.

Althought I'm not the person who write this, I think it would be better by putting them manually

Thanks . I did:

${XDG_CONFIG_HOME}/yt-dlp/plugins//yt_dlp_plugins/

Worked :)

Correct, if you have not installed yt-dlp through pip/pipx then you need to drop the plugin manually into one of the valid plugin locations
