Can't pass cookies
Hey, I'm putting yt-dlp on a fresh windows install but I'm having trouble passing the cookies from firefox. I used:PS C:\Users\USERNAME> yt-dlp --cookies "C:\Users\USERNAME\cookies.txt" "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8vjHOyVxUA"
[youtube] Extracting URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J8vjHOyVxUA

Also tried this:

I'm not sure how to give it permission to access my Firefox profile. It's running in an admin terminal. Also tried turning on sudo and using that, but no luck. Anyone have ideas on how to fix this?
