    Thanks for helping me get this far but now I’m stuck. Neither yt-dlp nor pasting the url into the browser works. The latter gets me the image below, yt-dlp says it’s not a valid url

    Edit: I got it to work with yt-dlp. I forgot the quotes around the url

      You can pass your browser’s cookies to yt-dlp. Try that, maybe?

      I think it’s

      yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser firefox

      But please check in the documentation. Also, your browser needs to in the PATH.

      Yep! The “save response as” works in more cases because it already includes all the correct cookies/referrers that sites use to protect against hotlinking.
