Is there a way to add the agent from Pinchflat?

Looks like the cli argument is --extractor-args "youtube:player-client=default,-tv_simply"

Add that cli argument to /extras/yt-dlp-configs/base-config.txt.

See the [Advanced] Custom yt‐dlp options page for more information.

Confirming this worked! Stopped my docker container and added the text exactly as specified, back in business. Thank you @logicone !

403 stopped for me, you need to allow yt-dlp to autoupdate, so you cannot have readonly filesystem
