Authentification help

[AlphaSlayer1964]

So I added my username and password but still get errors saying I can't log in. I do not have two-factor enabled on this account.

1. In the Tartube main window, find a video that hasn't been downloaded yet
2. Right-click the video, and select Downloads > Test system command
3. In the dialogue window, enter -u yourname -p yourpassword

4. Click the OK button to start the test download
5. In the main window, click the Output tab to see the results
6. If the test finishes with a WARNING: Unable to log in: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request error, then it's a youtube-dl issue that can be reported here

You could so the same test from the command line, by typing youtube-dl -u yourname -p yourpassword <URL>

yep, I am getting the WARNING: Unable to log in: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request. I'll go look and see if others have found a solution. The funny thing is I switch from jdownloader2 because it didn't allow logins. rip

Found this worked as a solution to youtube login at least. Hope it can help someone ytdl-org/youtube-dl#21313 (comment)

Splendid, I will add the same information to the Tartube FAQ.

Oh, I forgot to mention you will still get WARNING: Unable to log in: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request but it will still login and it will download anything that required a login. Tested with a private playlist and a user-defined age-restricted video.

Yes, I get the same thing: videos download and I get a warning.

Is there any firefox version of the cookies app that works with youtube dl?

How do you add the --cookies parameter to youtube-dlp from within tartube windows GUI?
I know when i use youtube-dlp i can add it with auth with cookies.

Is it downlod options > advanced>name>additional download options?

Edit > General download options > Files > Cookies

If you let your mouse hover over the box near the top, you can see which download option is being set
