Good morning. This is probably a super basic question, but I haven't been able to figure out how to pull a video from yt. It's definitely related to cookies. For better or worse, I have two G profiles on this machine. I figured it wouldn't work, but here is the command I first tried:
yt-dlp -f bestvideo+bestaudio https://youtu.be/JVywqFx0GdE
Which gives me "Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot." as expected. So I tried this:
yt-dlp -f bestvideo+bestaudio --cookies-from-browser chrome https://youtu.be/JVywqFx0GdE
That gave me the error "Could not copy Chrome cookie database.", so I tried telling it my profile:
yt-dlp -f bestvideo+bestaudio --cookies-from-browser chrome:<GProfileName> https://youtu.be/JVywqFx0GdE
Which gives me this error: could not find chrome cookies database in "C:\Users<WindowsUserName>\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data<GProfileName>"
Can anyone spot what I'm doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
