Description

When authenticated to manyvids, either with -u and -p, or with passing a cookie, youtube-dl will only grab the preview file (aka the free one). In this case the logged in user has rights to stream the full video, in compressed and original formats

Please comment if this fixes the issue #28758, where a user could not download a paid video using cookies from a logged-in browser session. The extractor doesn't support username/password authentication.
