Download did not start

I experienced trouble that the download did not begin when the live stream has started. Instead, there was always the same error message. I was able to download with another tool then.

The video provided in your log is private so I'm not able to debug. Did you run it locally or in Docker?

[chbndrhnns]

I was running it in Docker and the video was not private at the time of streaming and before. Is there anything I could try next time to make it easier to find the issue?

I suspect this might be due to Youtube now displaying a landing page that forces user to give consent to tracking cookies, as I mentioned there: https://github.com/mrwnwttk/youtube_stream_capture/issues/3#issuecomment-819812339

If that is the case, youtube-dl implemented a fix there. It should not be too difficult to work around it.

I have written this similar workaround in my script here too.
