BgUtils POT Provider

A proof-of-origin token (POT) provider to be used alongside coletdjnz's POT plugin framework. We use LuanRT's Botguard interfacing library to generate the token.

This is used to bypass the 'Sign in to confirm you're not a bot' message when invoking yt-dlp from an IP address flagged by YouTube. See https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp-wiki/pull/40/files for more details.

The provider comes in two parts:

1. Provider: An HTTP server that generates the POT, and has interfaces for the plugin to retrieve data from
2. Provider plugin: uses POT plugin framework to retrieve data from the provider, allowing yt-dlp to simulate having passed the 'bot check'

Usage

Default port number is 4416. If you want to change this, be sure to change it in both the provider and plugin code.

1. Set up the provider

Docker:

docker run --name bgutil-provider -d -p 4416:4416 brainicism/bgutil-ytdlp-pot-provider

Native:

cd server/
yarn install --frozen-lockfile
npx tsc
node build/main.js

2. Install the plugin

Make sure you have coletdjnz's POT plugin framework installed already.

Download the latest release zip from releases. Install it by placing the zip into one of the plugin folders.
