[trimechee]

Hello, once again the problem of importing cookies to be able to download from youtube occupies a central place in the ussies of yt-dlp, in comments many people offer more or less complicated solutions and tips, and sometimes it works temporarily, sometimes it doesn't work....

yt-dlp/yt-dlp#8227

yt-dlp/yt-dlp#11090

yt-dlp/yt-dlp#10927

i read the issues and the different solutions and this solution seems to me the most compatible with our beloved Media-downloader: this solution is to add these 2 vital plugins or add an option to easily add these capital 2 vital plugins to fix cookies problems :

This repository contains a plugin package that adds support for logging into YouTube with OAuth2 to yt-dlp's YouTube Extractors :

and

A plugin framework for yt-dlp that allows the YouTube extractor to request Proof of Origin (PO) Tokens from an external source when needed. It allows for multiple providers to co-exist and provide PO Tokens for different scenarios.

because the risk is very serious and yt-dlp might not be able to download youtube in the near future, thank you very much: this plugin will be optional and it is up to the user to choose with his free will to install it or not, thank you very much!
