It's a static site that renders the youtube thumbnail + a red play button. When you click on it, it loads the youtube iframe. So it's basically deferring the cookie consent and all. We implemented it as a drop-in replacement: -- <iframe [VIDEO] ++ <iframe [VIDEO] Nothing else needed.

Okay, but: yt-dlp -f315 [VIDEO] [download] 100% of 1.27GiB in 00:00:52 at 24.85MiB/s Works fine with the version I had installed, 2025.02.19. I don't know if this perhaps affects web browsers playing on non-HDCP displays.

The post-data OP is sending is different. In the script I shared it is easy to test one post-body against another, or one key against another, and so on. Most folks seem to using an "ANDROID" client, not "WEB". In the example I use "IOS" client but it does not matter. There are many clients that will work. To get throttled videoplayback URLs with the "WEB" client like the OP is using, one does not need to make POST requests to /youtubei/v1/player. There are throttled videoplayback URLs in the HTML of the /watch?v= page. For example, curl -A "" -40s [VIDEO] -o [LINK] -n 's/\\u0026/\&/g;/itag=22/p'
