Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

The German ADN Site support was added last week but it doesn't work. Maybe something changed on the website.

I just tried to download: https://animationdigitalnetwork.de/video/my-instant-death-ability-is-so-overpowered-no-one-in-this-other-world-stands-a-chance-against-me/24108-folge-1-mort-subite

Thank you for your great work.

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

• Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
• If using API, add 'verbose': True to YoutubeDL params instead
• Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below

Cookies authorization doesn't work with ADN (also doesn't work with the French site). Try username and password instead.

[bashonly]

is this check not effective?

yt-dlp/yt_dlp/extractor/adn.py

Lines 186 to 188 in 5f25f34

	user = options['user']
	if not user.get('hasAccess'):
	self.raise_login_required()

we also need to change it to self.raise_login_required(method='password')

The ADN API provides dead links for some formats on the German site. I guess this is one of the reasons why it is still in Beta. If you are not logged in or don't have a subscription, the formats you would be able to watch are the formats that are not available.
Currently there is no free German content, so we could just hardcode the login requirement for .de Links. But this may change once the site launches officially. There was free content a few weeks ago, so this may change at any time.

Thank you. With username and password it works.
I didn't find anything regarding which login method is working for different supported Sites.
I thought "Cookies authorization" would be the best way.

FYI: cookies won't work because ADN uses localStorage instead of cookies to store user information
