Yo, so I’ve been messing around with yt-dlp lately, and I gotta say, figuring out how to impersonate client yt-dlp properly has been a game-changer for me. Like, some sites just straight-up block you if they sniff out you’re using a downloader, right? But if you impersonate client yt-dlp to look like a legit browser or app, it’s like magic—way fewer errors and way more success.
I’ve been using the `--user-agent` flag and tweaking the `--extractor-args` to mimic stuff like the YouTube app or Firefox. Works like a charm most of the time, but sometimes you gotta experiment a bit.
Anyone else got tips on how to impersonate client yt-dlp better? Like, specific configs or tricks? I’m still learning, so hit me up with your hacks!
Also, shoutout to the devs for making this tool so dang flexible. Lifesaver, fr.
