add usenetrc argument for ydl_opts to allow the oauth plugin to work.

[111100001]

see https:/111100001/tubeup
oauth plugin: https:/coletdjnz/yt-dlp-youtube-oauth2

some yt-dlp users might get their ip blacklisted and youtube will show "Sign in to confirm you’re not a bot. This helps protect our community. Learn more" error

a workaround for this issue is using a yt-dlp plugin (plugin link above)

the argument will have no effect and will be ignored if the ~/.netrc config file does not exist

I'm seeing reports that oauth is not a guarantee. yt-dlp/yt-dlp#10085

Have you tested this? Can you show the results of the test?

[111100001]

it is still working for me and downloaded 8 videos so far

but i will stop it because i do not want my account banned

fix your linting so the unit tests work and I'll merge and cut a new version.

[111100001]

sorry didn't mean to close pr and reopen.

i don't know what i'm doing, this is my first pr ever

someone fixed the linting so it should be ok now

[mrpapersonic]

no, the unit tests are still failing. You have to update the dictionaries in the test programs to have the new option as well.

[111100001]

oh ok thank you. i'll get on that

added the option to the test dicts

Okay our unit tests are stopping because of the scrape prevention. Your fix is easy enough to understand and will probably not break things, but I want you to rip a video with your branch, post the mirrored item URL here, and then add a commit to this branch updating the instructions to exactly reproduce the steps needed to get all of this to work and I'll merge.

You're not changing much here so it's liekly safe to merge and cut a new version for in terms of code. Documentation needs and update tho.

Note: I'm going to be separating out the yt-dlp and tubeup venvs so they won't be combined and will be more manageable from now on

[111100001]

here is the mirrored item ripped with this branch:

https://archive.org/details/youtube-oauth2-njX2bu-_Vw4

[111100001]

added instructions in the readme.

[111100001]

with the reports that say oauth is not a guarantee, and will get you banned anyways, i dont think you should merge. unless you see other benefits to allow users to authenticate using a ,netrc file

[vxbinaca]

The extractor output in item names youtube-oauth2 will break scripts Archive.org staff use to automatically organize videos into the Mirrortube collection, as well as bisect the dataset. Can you fix item name creation?

Edit: I made an issue on plugin maintainers page we'll see what happens.

[vxbinaca]

couldn't the maintainer of the plugin just make it a general oauth2 script and not have it site specific?

[vxbinaca]

Turns out it's a relic of youtube-dls system.
