[Triage] Cookies.txt not working

[need4swede]

Logged into YT account in private window. Exported cookies via browser tool, and placed data in /config/extras/cookies.txt

I still get this:

-windows-filenames --quiet --cache-dir /tmp/pinchflat/data/yt-dlp-cache exited: 1 with: ERROR: [youtube] VetG5f6GJMk: Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot. Use --cookies-from-browser or --cookies for the authentication.

I setup something similar for MeTube and that's working ok - but I do know that there was an issue with the version of YTDL until an update fixed it. Is this the same?

FWIW, I am having a similar issue with "Sign in to confirm your age", even though things like private playlists download just fine

Seeing the same error now, also

I even tried updating yt-dl within the container to no avail.
