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 They periodically break newpipe and I have to go into the issues section to find whatever temporary dev build gets around it. It's been going on for years, what's new?

@druid there's been no new buold for a while, also never had yt-dlp and newpipe break together. It seems they constantly generate new cookies in browsers now even when not logged in to differentiate their frontends from 3rd party stuff?

@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

@kirby @snacks it works great btw I use it to download age-gated videos from youtube. I've heard if you use it too often though you get banned from youtube

@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)

@mia @snacks well, the probkem is that YouTube basically monopolized the field so unless you want to stuff directly or indirectly it's gonna be hard to stuff without going full and force everyone to use and/or to watch content.

@kkarhan @snacks you can do p2p streaming in-browser with webrtc and peertube uses that as well

@mia @snacks yeah but that doesn't solve the storage and bandwith issues either.

And that's making it expensive either.

@sun @snacks I heard they just straight up delete your Google account if you use it one too many times.
