   Yt is finally managing to break all the alternative frontends? I'll have to figure out how to get whatever fucking cookies it wants

     @snacks yt-dlp has an arg which grabs your cookies off your browser to let you download a video. the trade off is that average yt-dlp command is rather lengthy now

     @jeffcliff @snacks there are some formats which return forbidden...
     usually using deno as js runtime and then selecting a different format with the same quality should work.
     But i had some issues yesterday too and found a github issue telling everyone you can build / update yt-dlp from main branch which fixed stuff (i also forgot that yt-dlp nowdays require deno tho so im not sure if the update alone fixed it)

     Debian/devuan builds do not use deno, i think they use nodejs or something
