How to change the account #8

Closed mingzhang96 closed 1 month ago

mingzhang96 commented 1 month ago

I used an account and logged in successfully until the account was blocked. Now I want to change the account, and I try

yt-dlp -vU --list-formats --username oauth2 --password 'password_from_new_account' "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx"

but it seems to be still using the old account. Could you show how to change the account?

The access token is stored in the cache, which you can clear from yt-dlp with --rm-cache-dir

After that it should prompt you again to log in.

yt-dlp --rm-cache-dir works! Thanks for your response!
