How to Properly Impersonate Client in yt-dlp for Better Download Success?

20 Replies, 1201 Views

yo, thanks for all the tips, everyone! i tried the `--referer` flag and it worked like a charm on a site that was giving me trouble.

also, i checked out the yt-dlp-configs repo, and it’s got some solid templates. gonna try the mobile user-agent strings next.

one question tho: has anyone tried combining `--proxy` with `--geo-bypass`? wondering if it’s overkill or if it actually helps in some cases.

shoutout to the devs again for making yt-dlp so flexible. this tool is a beast!
