Not sure how you can configure po_token and visitor_data in cobalt but for generating these 2 things you can use https://github.com/LuanRT/BgUtils , You will find an example folder that you can reference for usage.

EDIT:
According to this line https://github.com/imputnet/cobalt/blob/0f6516567191706faedff58395befad0b795d648/api/src/processing/services/youtube.js#L79 you can add both of these things in the cookie file and they should be applied.

You cannot add PO_Token and visitor data in cookies.json fil. you can add these two in api file which is created in nodejs. and also cookies.json only for cookies which you will add see exmaple here https://github.com/imputnet/cobalt/blob/main/docs/examples/cookies.example.json

what? 😭

you can add po_token and visitor_data as regular cookie values into the cookie

cobalt/api/src/processing/services/youtube.js

Lines 70 to 83 in 0f65165

	const rawCookie = getCookie('youtube');
	const rawCookieValues = rawCookie?.values();
	const cookie = rawCookie?.toString();
	if (!innertube || shouldRefreshPlayer) {
	innertube = await Innertube.create({
	fetch: customFetch,
	retrieve_player: !!cookie,
	cookie,
	po_token: rawCookieValues?.po_token,
	visitor_data: rawCookieValues?.visitor_data,
	});
	lastRefreshedAt = +new Date();
	}

(so if you have a cookie like a=b; c=d, you can just add the other values onto them like a=b; c=d; po_token=x; visitor_data=y)

Is there a tutorial on how to get cookie, po_token and visitor_data?

[ZEREX222]

the same question. OAuth2 is not working. I saw someone added support YouTube cookies. I tried to use them directly copied from YouTube they are not working. Saw some po_token and visitor_data also have no idea where can I find it. On my local instance everything is working except YouTube. Thanks for explaining how to fix YouTube in advanced.
