yep, I am getting the WARNING: Unable to log in: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request. I'll go look and see if others have found a solution. The funny thing is I switch from jdownloader2 because it didn't allow logins. rip

Splendid, I will add the same information to the Tartube FAQ.
Oh, I forgot to mention you will still get WARNING: Unable to log in: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request but it will still login and it will download anything that required a login. Tested with a private playlist and a user-defined age-restricted video.
Yes, I get the same thing: videos download and I get a warning.
Is there any firefox version of the cookies app that works with youtube dl?
How do you add the --cookies parameter to youtube-dlp from within tartube windows GUI?
I know when i use youtube-dlp i can add it with auth with cookies.
Is it downlod options > advanced>name>additional download options?
Edit > General download options > Files > Cookies
If you let your mouse hover over the box near the top, you can see which download option is being set
