I think this issue can be related: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/10046
Hi @nlogozzo , good night!
This is what yt-dlp guy said: https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/10046#issuecomment-2263172549 Do you think its nice to leave this opened so that people dont open again and can see it or its better to close it?
Well the purposed solution on that comment was actually merged and released in yt-dlp 2024.08.01 . So I will test with the latest version and see
I want to ask as you fixed this in c++ branch, how long time it will take you will release it? as this main branch users will face this issue still... Or can you fix it in this main branch?

In the meantime, you can download the gnome flatpak file from this build. This build contains all features except keyring management (which is the one feature i still have to implement.
When you download the zip, extract it, and then you can run in the terminal flatpak install org.nickvision.tubeconverter.flatpak (or whatever the name of the file was) and run it with flatpak run org.nickvision.tubeconverter//master
I noticed qt version can't add txt cookies file, there is only option export from browser?

Both versions (GNOME and QT) no longer support uploading txt files for cookies but instead will do this process for you automatically from just selecting the browser that you would like to use.
Is the browser you use not available from the list?
I have Get cookies.txt LOCALLY extension in Chrome... This may not be good idea as Flatpak have some limitations Same is with Fdm free download manager...
https://github.com/flathub/org.freedownloadmanager.Manager/issues/1
I get this with Chrome and Parabolic preview: The url provided is invalid or unable to be reached. Check the url, the authentication used, and the selected browser for cookies in settings.
Did you select Chrome in the Cookies from Browser setting in Preferences?
If that still doesn't work, then I will add the option to manually upload cookies file again.
If I can ask, what website are you trying to download from?
Youtube...there is some age limited videos Finntop5 make in Finnish language videos, not mean adult content...
Ok...i thought yt-dlp has built-in getting around age limited without needed cookies...but could be wrong...will investigate and get back to you!
Yeah thanks so much Nick :) I do testing lot i'm in Mageia Linux qa team testing packages goes to updates, also do Finnish translations :)

this build has the update that restores the option to upload a cookies file when running via flatpak/snap. You will no longer see the cookies browser option either, since, well, it doesn't work on flatpak.
Another question: Does the app crash when you close the preferences dialog?
I noticed qt version get big cpu leak, 4 cores takes 100% usage...
That's ffmpeg when downloading most likely. Does it go back to normal after a download?
No it don't crash if close preferences dialog.
Also, I was talking about the GNOME version. It's fully featured ou can use that now too.
