Video Player not working, found the Issue

Help!
1

Alright so my Video Players have stopped working about a week ago as it has for many many others i suppose. But i found the issue, and its obviously YouTube. Here are the Details of the Error “Loading failed. File not found, codec not supported, video resolution too high or insufficient system resources.” Or that is what you think the Details are. But the REAL reason why it isnt working is: “VideoError: [youtube] {Gibberish, idk if it should be leaked}: Sign in to confirm you�re not a bot. Use --cookies-from-browser or --cookies for the authentication. See FAQ · yt-dlp/yt-dlp Wiki · GitHub for how to manually pass cookies. Also see Extractors · yt-dlp/yt-dlp Wiki · GitHub for tips on effectively exporting YouTube cookies”.

So VRChat Players and especially VRChat Team, what is going on here? Are you not passing the Cookies for security reasons? What else can i do to provide more info and HOW do i fix the Issue?? Because now i finally got a REAL Reason, now its your job to find a fix, tell us the Security Risks or whatever and finally fix it.
Thank you.

That message is suggesting that you log into a google account and then pass that session to yt-dlp.

Personally I don’t want that done automatically because I don’t want a risk of google terminating my account because they don’t like what is being done through my account. VRChats use of youtube avoids their ads, and google considers that to be against their tos. Not sure how likely they are to actually care.

What fixed this for me is either using a VPN or logging out of (all) google accounts and logging back in. Google prompted for a security check using PC’s login code like how you view your saved passwords. Now it works fine both in signed out browser and VRC, but I don’t know if it will break again.
