Thank you for your comment. Is there a video URL that contains the m3u8_native property?

Every youtube video contains this proeprty. using this command yt-dlp -J videoID will log out json containts m3u8_native

[ybd-project]

The current ytdl-core does not parse m3u8 manifest files, so the m3u8 format is never included in the data. In the future, we would like to implement it so that it does parse them.

Okay. out of scope,

How to pass oauth2 or poToken and visitorData to yt-dlp. Any suggestions?

I understand. Here is the code. (TypeScript)

import { YtdlCore } from '@ybd-project/ytdl-core';

const ytdl = new YtdlCore({
    poToken: 'YOUR PO TOKEN',
    visitorData: 'YOUR VISITOR DATA',
    oauth2: new YtdlCore.OAuth2({
        accessToken: 'YOUR ACCESS TOKEN',
        refreshToken: 'YOUR REFRESH TOKEN',
        expiryDate: 'YYYYY-mm-DDTHH:MM:SSZ',
    }),
});

// Get information
ytdl.getFullInfo('https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID');

Thanks a lot.

I meant yt-dlp not this package.

[ybd-project]

Oh, it was yt-dlp, I don't think I see a way to pass it to yt-dlp. Note that this brief FAQ has been moved to Discussion. We will no longer be able to comment on this Issue.
