...download age-restricted YouTube videos?
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
See `yt-dl's recommended way <https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl#how-do-i-pass-cookies-to-youtube-dl>`_ to download your YouTube cookie, then add it to your :ref:`ytdl options <config_reference/plugins:ytdl_options>` section of your config:
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
ytdl_options:
|
|
cookiefile: "/path/to/cookies/file.txt"
|
|
|
|

|
|
:doc:`This page </guides/getting_started/automating_downloads>` shows how to set up ``ytdl-sub`` to run automatically on various platforms.

There is a bug where...
|
|
-----------------------
|
|
|
|
...date_range is not downloading older videos after I changed the range
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Your preset most likely has ``break_on_existing`` set to True, which will stop downloading additional metadata/videos if the video exists in your download archive. Set the following in your config to skip downloading videos that exist instead of stopping altogether.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
ytdl_options:
|
|
break_on_existing: False
|
|
|
|
After you download your new date_range duration, re-enable ``break_on_existing`` to speed up successive downloads.
|
|
|
|
...it is downloading non-English title and description metadata
|
|
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
|
|
|
Most likely the video has a non-English language set to its 'native' language. You can tell yt-dlp to explicitly download English metadata using.
|
|
|
|
.. code-block:: yaml
|
|
|
|
ytdl_options:
|
|
extractor_args:
|
|
youtube:
|
|
lang:
