This was caused by YouTube's new policy update. Also, this has been fixed and is duplicate of #3182!

[user7230724]

Ok, nice! I couldn't find that issue for some reason.

@pukkandan Can you please publish a new release that includes the fix from #3233?

[Lesmiscore]

You have mistaken cookies-related option. You have to use --cookies-from-browser firefox to extract cookies.

[Lesmiscore]

Ah okay, makes sense

[pukkandan]

Were you using logged in cookies? If so, this is not a duplicate of #3182 and something else is going on

[pukkandan]

The log doesn't say Extracted SAPISID cookie, so I assume not. Then why are you even passing cookies? 🤔
