cookielib.LoadError: 'cookie.txt' does not look like a Netscape format cookies file

Cookie file source:

.youtube.com TRUE / FALSE 1428846439 VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE s0IqaYrSgOg
.youtube.com TRUE / FALSE 1428846439 YSC ujJ3n8Oe-Vw
.youtube.com TRUE / FALSE 1428846439 PREF f1
.youtube.com TRUE / FALSE 1428846439 goojf 0da5651fc58ad7dcba506892d2f4fdd6cwsAAABxSTNYbDBKSmJvQQ
.youtube.com TRUE / FALSE 1428846439 ACTIVITY 1426254424997

And in cookie file use only tabs.

Maybe add support for example: --cookie "VISITOR_INFO1_LIVE=s0IqaYrSgOg; YSC=ujJ3n8Oe-Vw" ?

Apparently it only works if you also add # Netscape HTTP Cookie File at the start of the file, closing as a duplicate of #4539.
