gettting error on yt-dlp - next direction

[sufr3ak]

I've been using yt-dlp for years, with credentials to download stuff from certain networks, like ABC, or mouse themed stuff. Recently starting encountering the dreaded "HTTP Error 451". I'm wondering what my next direction should be. Is there a good workaround for this? A better toolset to use? Do I need to invest in something like StreamFab? I have no qualms diving in and learning, but just wanted to get an idea of which way to go.

My current process was to export my cookies file from my browser, then from my linux host, run yt-dlp, grabbing the video.

Eg -

yt-dlp --quiet  --ap-mso $ispmso  --ap-username $xusername --ap-password $xpassword --cookies=./cookies.txt $SHOWURL

or

yt-dlp --quiet --progress -o "$Showfilename.%(ext)s" --ap-mso $ispmso  --ap-username $xusername --ap-password $xpassword --user-agent 'Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64; rv:136.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/136.0'  --cookies=./cookies.txt --write-sub --sub-format srt --convert-subs srt $SHOWURL

Thanks!

If you're trying to download DRM content you should use this

Otherwise for non-drm, yt-dlp seems to be still working

Thank you. I wasn't sure if it was a DRM issue or a diff odd error. In the past, I got diff errors for DRM. But I'll start reading up on that link. Thank you.

If you aren't 100% sure if it's drm or not, you can load the page on firefox. If it's drm you'll get something like this little icon/popup

Sorry, I wasn't clear. In the past, I got a message indicating it is DRM. I see it is DRM blocked, but I guess the message changed. I have some work and learning ahead of me
