Your Question

I tried to reconfigure metube to use the pot-provider (bgutil-ytdlp-pot-provider) as mentioned by yt-dlp

It seems, that the neccessary extractor-args arguments (published by YTDL_OPTIONS / YTDL_OPTIONS_FILE) aren't used by metube in the conversion (to use with yt-dlp)

Has anybody the correct useform?

Additional Context

This configuration is in extractor_args. Reference for extractor_args configuration format. So I guess the format should be like this: YTDL_OPTIONS_FILE

{
    "extractor_args": {
        "youtube": {
            "po_token": [
                "PO_TOKEN"
            ]
        }
    }
}

I will test it with the following configuration

{
    "extractor_args": {
        "youtubepot-bgutilhttp": {
            "base_url": [
                "http://bgutil-provider:4416"
            ]
        }
    }
}

I use the extra Container bgutil-ytdlp-pot-provider to use it with metube / yt-dlp

You need the yt-dlp plugin from the provider to work, which is not installed in the official container.
