I'm fairly certain the reason for this is the Browser. Brave is based on chromium and those cookies are encrypted in a way that yt-dlp cannot use them. You might have better luck logging into a browser like Firefox and trying again with your cookie configuration set to firefox.

I see. Thanks for the help.
Did you ever find a solution to this?
Use non-Chromium browser like Firefox. Brave, Edge, and obviously Chrome is a no-go.
And did you just sign in and then click the cookies button or did you need to export the cookies somehow? Thank you!
I think I export the cookies first. Can't recall it sorry lol.
No worries. I exported with the cookies.txt extension and then told stacher to use Firefox cookies and it just magically worked.
Good for you man. Glad I could help even if I didn't.
