[twitter] x.com links give Unsupported URL error about yt-dlp HOT 8 CLOSED

Internally, the site still uses twitter domains. All we need to do is add x.com to the _VALID_URLs

from yt-dlp.

@InklingGirl already has: python -m pip install -U --pre "yt-dlp[default]"

from yt-dlp.

I installed the nightly and public videos work fine, however, I cannot get it to download a protected video by passing a cookies.txt file from x.com (this is after a very recent change to their login system). I bet I'm not the only one affected and I don't want to give out someone's private link so here is just the error message without the verbose. Let me know if a verbose is truly necessary and I would have to set up a dummy protected acct to get one.

ERROR: [twitter] _________________: You are not authorized to view this protected tweet. Use --cookies, --cookies-from-browser, --username and --password, --netrc-cmd, or --netrc (twitter) to provide account credentials

@ggous

you need to have updated to nightly

yt-dlp --update-to nightly

If it still doesn't work, then show a verbose log: add -v to your download command and copy/paste the full output

from yt-dlp.

I confirm yt-dlp no longer works on X/Twitter; just started happening very recently (approximately 14/May/2024), which is most likely related to the url for X is now x.com instead of twitter.com

from yt-dlp.

Will this update be pushed to pip soon?

from yt-dlp.

I have updated : sudo yt-dlp -U

and I am receiving:

ERROR: Unsupported URL: https://x.com/i/status/1792192732015800675

from yt-dlp.

Thanks! It works now!
