# yt-dlp ## With Cookies ```bash yt-dlp --cookies cookies.txt <url> ``` ## With Referer For embedded videos that check the referring page: ```bash yt-dlp --referer <page-url> <video-url> ``` ## With Manifest Files When direct download doesn't work, look in the browser's Network tab for `.m3u8` or `.mpd` manifest files and pass them to yt-dlp. ### JSON manifests Sometimes the manifest is served as `master.json`. Replace `.json` with `.mpd` in the URL: ```bash yt-dlp "https://cdn.example.com/.../master.mpd" ```
