Steps to Export and Use Cookies:

1. Create a Dedicated Chrome Profile:

   • It's recommended to create a new Chrome profile for managing your bot's cookies.

2. Install a Cookie Management Extension:

   • Use "Cookie Editor" or similar extensions to manage your cookies.

3. Export Cookies from YouTube:

   • Log into YouTube in your new browser profile and export cookies in Netscape format via the cookie extension.

4. Save the Cookies File:

   • Update your cookies.txt in the SmartVCPlayer/ytcookies directory of your project.
