youtube authentication with .netrc

[GaelicGrime]

This could be the ID10t link, but I am getting this error from a simple script which takes a URL and sets an output-template.

WARNING: parsing .netrc: No authenticators for youtube (None, line None) [youtube] LKt6E8GJyYU:
Downloading video webpage

The video is an age restricted Japanese Gravure Idol which came up first in a search for "age restricted", I have continued down the page with the same result, all seem to download but the warning looks like it could cause trouble later.

Either you use your .netrc file or whisper youtube-dl your youTube
login/password. I don't see any other way it should work properly if I
was youTube.

This seems to work fine for me, youtube-dl shouldn't try to load .netrc unless you ask it. If the warning is still reported, please post the contents of ytdl.sh and the output when running with the --verbose option.

Is this still an issue? It's been 4 years since the last update.

I think the problem is how youtube-dl read your netrc file. I tried accounts.google.com and www.youtube.com for the machine part , none of them works. But, these work for me:

machine youtube login <YoutubeUsername> password <YoutubePassword>

and also youtube-dl required you to chmod 600 your netrc file.

Trying to figure out the machine part of the netrc file. Is it the first part of the url when the browser redirects you to your login page? I've tried a lot of different combos but I was wondering if it was only setup to specific ones some where. If I'm trying to use it with nbc, I don't put nbc in there right? I put my cable company's name?

@roadzy use Adobe Pass Options.

@roadzy use Adobe Pass Options.

"use --ap-list-mso for a list of available MSOs" What if they aren't in that list?

then they're not supported(currently).

How hard is it to write one for my provider? Is there instructions anywhere I can read?
