Hi,

YouTube has gotten harder and harder regarding logging on.

ERROR: [youtube] suAR1PYFNYA: Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot. 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 for tips on effectively exporting YouTube cookies

When using standalone yt-dlp, you can pass through cookies.
My favorite is to use --cookies-from-browser.

Is it possible to implement this into the Web Video dropdown-menu somehow?

I'm adding --cookies-from-browser for the next release.

Paul.
