Why these can’t be archived yet

YouTube hides some videos behind an age-confirmation interstitial. Once that flag is set on a video, anonymous yt-dlp requests fail with Sign in to confirm your age. Bypassing that interstitial requires session cookies from a logged-in, age-verified Google account — not something the unattended archive supervisor has access to. The remaining 1,336 WCN videos pulled cleanly; only these three trip the gate.

How to close the gap (~10 minutes)
  1. Install the browser extension “Get cookies.txt LOCALLY” in any logged-in browser (Chrome, Firefox, Brave, Arc).
  2. Visit youtube.com while signed into an age-verified Google account.
  3. Click the extension, export cookies, save the file as ~/wcn-cookies.txt.
  4. Run the archive’s gather script with the cookie jar: 
    cd /Volumes/20TB-FOUND/AI-DATA/backups/mad-bitcoins-mirror
bash _audit/gather-missing-shorts.sh --cookies ~/wcn-cookies.txt
    or call yt-dlp directly: 
    yt-dlp --cookies ~/wcn-cookies.txt \
  -o "%(upload_date)s_%(id)s.%(ext)s" \

  5. File the resulting MP4s into video/ or shorts/ by format, and append their IDs to .downloaded-WCN-videos so the supervisor doesn’t retry them.
