[remitamine]

some of the code interacting with cookies is currently broken in python 2.x, you might want to try python 3 untill this is fixed.

[MrKurtzmann]

Thank you but also not working.
I used "pip3 install youtube-dl" to run/get it in a different Python Version. That was new for me :)

the cookies you have exported are not complete.

[MrKurtzmann]

WOW. THANK YOU! Now I used the FireFox Add on "Export Cookies" to Export the Cookies and it works! Thank you!

For me also, not working with username and password for some videos. Then I tried cookies. The result is as follows.
