can you try again but leave out the username & password option and just use the cookies.txt file instead

play the video and press f 12 on your keyboard to bring up the debug menu select network & all, type m3u8 in the search box, highlight master.m3u8 right click...

did you try using the user name & password option or the authenticated cookies option ??

yt-dlc has possibly been abandoned, use either youtube-dl - https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl or yt-dlp - https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp

this link - 'https://www.viki.com/videos/1172625v-true-beauty-episode-1' works if i use youtube-dl but does not work with youtube-dlc yet.

works ok for me using youtube-dl - $ youtube-dl https://www.viki.com/videos/1172625v-true-beauty-episode-1 [viki] 1172625v: Downloading video JSON [viki] 1172625v: Downloading MPD manifest WARNING: [viki] Unknown MIME type image/jpeg in DASH manifest [viki]...
