## 0.87.1 — 2026-09-16
A YouTube video that YouTube will only show to a signed-in viewer can now be downloaded: paste your YouTube cookies in Settings the way the failure message already told you to — until now that list had no YouTube in it.
### Features
- YouTube joins the sites you can store download cookies for (Settings → Account → Download authentication). A signed-in YouTube download automatically uses the players that accept your login.
### Fixes
- A YouTube download that stops at “Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot” says so in your language and points at a setting that now exists. If you had already added cookies, it tells you they were refused instead of asking for them again.
- A video YouTube describes but then refuses to hand over is tried again with another player instead of failing at once, and it is no longer called a network error — nothing was wrong with the network.
### Internal
- The gated video was measured end to end on an isolated stack before and after the fix: every player client, two yt-dlp versions, and finally the real download (519 MB) with cookies attached. One deep-review round — 25 findings raised, none survived adversarial verification, and the one real defect came out of the verification itself: a comment of mine named an error yt-dlp does not raise there. Running it settled what reading it could not.
## 0.87.0 — 2026-09-15
A shared or library video keeps playing when you switch apps on an iPad, and a new tab opens as the account it belongs to without flashing another page first. Facebook reels keep their titles and an mp3 stays an mp3.
