problem description

I have some questions, These are not bugs:

  1. API_EXTERNAL_PROXY
    when I configure API_EXTERNAL_PROXY, the service that cobalt returns the youtube video download link uses this proxy. So when I download it, will cobalt still use this proxy?

  2. How to parse youtube stably, API_EXTERNAL_PROXY or cookies?
    Is it more stable to use API_EXTERNAL_PROXY dynamic proxy?
    The documentation still has an example of youtube_oauth, but it doesn't work. Could you include an example of cookies?
    If using cookie,what is the validity period of cookies, how to add multiple cookies? Can I update cookies less frequently like yt-dlp?

your instance configuration

I have already found the answer in Discord and historical issues.
