Age Check - YouTube - Cookies?

[M0CRT]

Hi

Noting the output from logs for videos that YouTube determines are subject to age checks, any method of taking cookies as described by the yt_dlp output?

yt_dlp.utils.DownloadError: ERROR: [youtube] EU-XXXXXXXX: Sign in to confirm your age. This video may be inappropriate for some users. Use --cookies-from-browser or --cookies for the authentication. See https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/FAQ#how-do-i-pass-cookies-to-yt-dlp for how to manually pass cookies. Also see https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/Extractors#exporting-youtube-cookies

Thanks

Hi,

I tryied to pass a configuration file to yt-dlp, but it seems not worked, can you help me?
I put my config file named "config" into somewhere like /path/to/myconfig/config and set docker volume like /path/to/myconfig:/root/.config/yt-dlp

I also tried replace /root/.config/yt-dlp with /etc/yt-dlp but it doesn't work.

Thanks.
