This will save a lot of time!

Any YT link do not download.

Summary
I am getting a lot of strange errors that are showing up in my Output and Error/Warnings. Nothing downloads after. Uninstalling/reinstalling does not work. However, starting a new database resolves the issue. Ideally I would not like to start a new database, but if the problem cannot be resolved, I have no choice.

The video you are trying to download does not exist. Test your problem with a different URL.

This appears to be a yt-dlp error. I checked the yt-dlp issues page for a similar error, but did not find an obvious match.

If the cookiejar file is getting corrupted, you can tell yt-dlp not to use cookies at all. Click Edit > General download options. In the new window's Name tab there's a box for extra command line options, so just copy this into that box:

--no-cookies

The cookiejar file is stored inside the Tartube database, which explains why deleting the database also deletes a corrupt cookiejar file. You could just manually delete the file yourself, or set the cookiejar file to a more convenient location, outside the database: click Edit > General download options... > Files > Cookies.

Deleting the cookies and forcing it to generate a new one fixed it! It must have gotten corrupted at some point.

In v2.3.393 I added new download options from yt-dlp for handling cookies; see Edit > General download options... > yt-dlp > Cookies.
