[yticpmis234]

try adding --legacy-server-connect

this worked for me
yt-dlp --force-ipv4 --cookies-from-browser firefox --legacy-server-connect -vF "https://spankbang.com/81sy6/video/japanese"

Make sure you change the browser name in --cookies-from-browser to your flavor of browser , options are available at https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/wiki/FAQ#how-do-i-pass-cookies-to-yt-dlp ... Open spankbank in your browser once ( during the session ) and yt-dlp will fetch the spankbang cookies from your browser...

FileNotFoundError: could not find firefox cookies database in /root/.mozilla/firefox

I'm actually running ytdlp on a server that has no applications and got this error

 

[yticpmis234]

in that case run it without --cookies-from-browser firefox

the error is being caused by yt-dlp looking for the cookies

Last line of error ---> FileNotFoundError: could not find firefox cookies database in /root/.mozilla/firefox

just use

yt-dlp --force-ipv4 --legacy-server-connect YOUR_URL


If nothing works open an issue ticket on the yt-dlp github or post in their discord

still same error

 

[yticpmis234]

still same error

I recommend opening an issue on their github , and mention that are running yt-dlp on a headless server ... maybe that has something to do with it.

It seems to work for me but maybe it has something to do with the config

yt-dlp -v --legacy-server-connect https://spankbang.com/81sy6/video/japanese
