Automate cookie export for yt-dlp #70

Description

@DutchJavaDev

You need YouTube account cookies for yt-dlp to be able to download a YouTube video/playlist, current way it works is that I have to manually run a python script that will do a headless login using selenium webdriver and export the cookies of that login to Netscape format.

The account you login in with has to be created in the same country that the computer/laptop/vps is located in otherwise you need to re-log and export cookies on every single download.

  • Auto detect when cookies are going to expire
  • Execute login script to get a new cookies
  • Create a account creation script for gmail
