[Note: existing issue #4671 is still open but I was advised to open a new issue.]

Since updating to 2022.08.14, I cannot download videos from RTBF with the option “–cookies-from-browser”. I can indeed download videos using -u username -p password.

Not sure if this helps, but I have saved two dumps here: https://gist.github.com/Ottaviocr/057f03cf1145a521f39b16c5ab826430

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

  • Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
  • Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below

@Ottaviocr If you want, I could look into this if you can send me your credentials.
