how so i pass cookies on windows?

[JJ-ammaz]

Specifically windows 11 im unable to execute the --cookies command it seems it isnt even registered there ive tried the following:

Running it in bash, running it in cmd prompt, running it in powershell, running it in MSYS2 none have worked is there some way to manually do it as i have my cookies as a txt file saved?

Sorry, I don't understand. Execute what --cookies command?

If you're talking about yt-dlp's download option called --cookies, then in Tartube's main menu, click Edit > General download options... > Files > Cookies, and change the path of the cookies.txt file to the file you have obtained from your web browser.

If you're not sure how to get the cookies.txt file, you can read this guide.

By the way, on MS Windows, Tartube probably requires MSYS2 and is very unlikely indeed to run in other shell environments.
