Hey. Following the instructions, I'm starting a new thread. I tried downloading the video from here: https://www.iprima.cz/filmy/statni-tajemstvi and I performed all the steps with get cookies.txt including loading it into OVD. However, still not able to download this video - in the details then it says I have to use parameters - but that is for the terminal. I think a better concept would be to do it by putting the username and password in there somewhere and then adding that to the parameters of the yt-dlp call instead of that monkey busyness with the add-on which then, according to the information, tracks all the user data. That's not exactly in the spirit of opensource. Thank You.
