Can the software add support for local cookie files?

[database64128]

For now, add cookies options to "Startup arguments" in settings.

"Startup arguments" in settings. add " --cookies cookies.txt " is wrong, how to add the local cookie files

[database64128]

--cookies and cookies.txt are two separate arguments. Add them separately. Do not put them in the same text field.

How to boot cookies.txt file properly?

[database64128]

You might want to use something like --cookies-from-browser firefox to let yt-dlp automatically extract relevant cookies from your browser. Otherwise, check yt-dlp's documentation.

how to setting in youtube-dl-wpf local cookies files (need cookies form local files，not need cookies from brower) like the pic

[hqhbaby]

It seem not support the format " yt-dlp.exe: error: no such option: --cookies D:\software\VPN\yt-dlp\ytdl\cookies.txt"

--The entry for importing cookies is not visible in the settings.

@database64128 Have you updated the package you issued?

For now, add cookies options to "Startup arguments" in settings.

[database64128]

@ghdhhdbdb Hopefully the next release will be ready within the month. For now, add the options to startup arguments yourself.

FYI, to those who don't get it.

Here's a screenshot of what worked for me:

[database64128]

With 8fd84b963a6bd4fbc3caff621dfed5e675cda277 and 2b11c41417add96f4c36cbd46b9b15e4f020620d, you can now specify local cookies files or choose a browser to load cookies from. Try it out by downloading the latest build artifacts from https://github.com/database64128/youtube-dl-wpf/actions/runs/18016831945.
