Download error

When I execute python prepare_dataset.py crawl, I encounter the following error:

error: [youtube] u7mroryc2gy: sign in to confirm you’re not a bot. use --cookies-from-browser or --cookies for the authentication. see https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/faq#how-do-i-pass-cookies-to-yt-dlp for how to manually pass cookies. also see https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/extractors#exporting-youtube-cookies for tips on effectively exporting youtube cookies.

I know that using --cookies can help me solve this issue, but adding cookies as a key in YTDL_OPTS is ineffective. How do you resolve this issue in your code?

I’m experiencing some confusion regarding the data, even after using cookies. Most of the links still seem to be inaccessible, and I have been unable to locate any FOA (First Order Ambisonic) audio formats. The CSV you provided contains only a few instances of FOA audio, while the majority of the audio is in stereo format.

@HS-YN Can you check this issue?

I've also tried using cookies with yt-dlp, but the results are inconsistent. Here's what I've observed:

• FOA audio files: These seem to download successfully most of the time (I only checked for videos in the earlier parts of the dataset)
• MP4 video files: Unfortunately, I haven't been able to download any mp4 files regardless of the configuration I use

It seems that YouTube's policies are becoming increasingly restrictive regarding video downloading through automated tools.

I was wondering:

• Has there been any progress on resolving this issue?
• Should we wait for the larger version of YT-AmbiGen that was mentioned to be released in September? Would that potentially address these download issues?

Any updates or alternative approaches would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your work on this project!

@WWWKKWWW Hello. Can you send an email to jaeyeon2@andrew.cmu.edu? I will give you a access to the dataset files after you agree to the term of usage. Also, we will discuss about the issue, try to solve it before the release of the larger version.

I was wondering if you've managed to solve this issue? It seems that only the android_vr client can download FOA audio, but it doesn't support cookie configuration. I'm also getting flagged as a bot.On the other hand, other clients that do support cookies aren't able to retrieve FOA audio. I'm really puzzled by this.

即使启用了 cookie，我仍然遇到一些数据方面的问题。大多数链接似乎仍然无法访问，而且我找不到任何 FOA（一阶环绕声）音频格式。您提供的 CSV 文件中只有少量 FOA 音频，而大部分音频都是立体声格式。

我想问一下您是否已经解决了这个问题？似乎只有 android_vr 客户端可以下载 FOA 音频，但它不支持 cookie 配置。而且我的请求还被标记为机器人。另一方面，其他支持 cookie 的客户端却无法获取 FOA 音频。我对此感到非常困惑。

I haven‘t solved this issue. The easiest way is to contact the email address provided above jaeyeon2@andrew.cmu.edu and the author will grant access to the dataset file.
