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.

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
(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)

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

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.

If anyone wants to find out po_token and visitor data they can visit /embed link of a video. Inspact the /player request and you will find the po_token and visitorData in the payload of that request.

May I ask if you have deployed your own instance of cobalt? Can you download youtube videos once these are configured?
How do I get cookies? Do I need to log in for cookies, potoken?
