How to make it work on Linux (Tested on CachyOS / Arch with Firefox)

Because of Linux / Proton, the cookies.txt doesn't seem to work well, instead it's better to use browser mode, the following tutorial explains how to set it up (tested using Firefox)

  • Go to the mod settings and select your browser
  • Put a video and wait for it to fail, then look at the logs
    • It should tell you an error because it can't find your cookies in a path, for Firefox it looks like AppData/Local/Packages/Mozilla.Firefox_n80bbvh6b1yt2/LocalCache/Roaming/Mozilla/Firefox/Profiles/
  • Go to AppData in the drive_c of the game, on Arch this is usually located at /home/[USER]/.local/share/Steam/steamapps/compatdata/661130/pfx/drive_c/users/steamuser/Appdata
  • Create all the folders that it requires until the last one, for Firefox this means the folders Packages, Mozilla.Firefox_n80bbvh6b1yt2, LocalCache, Roaming, Mozilla and Firefox but don't create the last one (Profiles) yet unless you don't intend to use your real browser
  • Because your cookies could change or expire, instead of giving it the files once, we'll use a symlink to the real firefox on your machine. This is completely up to you and you could just copy the files or get them from somewhere else
  • Now you can create a link that points to the folder of your browser on Linux. For Firefox, this is the Profiles folder that should point to /home/[USER]/.mozilla/firefox/
  • If you followed all the steps, the next video you put should successfully get the cookies from your browser

Notes

  • After first use yt-dlp will remove unnecessary cookies from file automatically.
  • Cookies contain private information and access to your YouTube account, do not share them to anyone.
