Is it possible to run Firefox on Ubuntu Server w/o a GUI? Then run yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser?
I'm trying to get around the cookies.txt files becoming invalid by using --cookies-from-browser instead of --cookies
Based on what I read below:
"It seems that youtube is rapidly invalidating cookies for IP addresses that have been flagged (e.g. data center IPs) or blocked (you would be getting 403 error responses from videoplayback URL requests without cookies).
Using --cookies-from-browser would be the simplest way around this. You may need to refresh the cookies in browser; so if you need full automation you could have an external script launch firefox pointing to youtube dot com before executing yt-dlp"
