Using pot-provider with ytdl-sub

[Snuffy2]

Has anyone found a way to get bgutil-ytdlp-pot-provider working with ytdl-sub? It seems like this or something like this will be necessary going forward (in addition to Deno). I'm currently not able to download anything due to YouTube forcing SABR.

I tried using the config below and then adding bgutil-ytdlp-pot-provider to/config/yt-dlp-plugins but it is not working.

presets:
  default_playlist:
    preset:
      - 'plex_tv_show_by_date'
      - 'season_by_year__episode_by_month_day'
      - 'max_1080p'
    download:
      urls:
        - url: '{url}'
          playlist_thumbnails:
            - name: 'poster.jpg'
              uid: 'avatar_uncropped'
            - name: 'fanart.jpg'
              uid: 'banner_uncropped'
    ytdl_options:
      ignoreerrors: True
      break_on_existing: False
      break_on_reject: False
      extractor_args:
        youtubepot-bgutilhttp:
          base_url:
            - 'http://127.0.0.1:4416'
        youtube:
          player_client:
            - 'mweb'

I got the same problem. Got POT working with only using yt-dlp, but not with ytdl-sub. But it seems i got it working. Not the plugin but the downloads. Subscribe to the channel and most o rmaybe all videos can be downloaded again. It fixed it for me.

What is the command you use in yt-dlp? There is a tool to convert yt-dlp args to python args, which then can be used in ytdl_options (this passes directly to the python entrypoint in yt-dlp)

My config looks like yours except I installed bgutil-ytdlp-pot-provider via Python. You can also use docker to run it.

This PR is adding support to convert any yt-dlp args to ytdl-sub: #1376

That should tell us how to properly configure your yt-dlp setup for sub
