archive.org or even direct video links using cookies.txt? #117

Description

@mikesellt

Hello there, this looks like a great project. I don't have need to view youtube, crunchyroll, etc... using this tool as of now, but I've been trying to find a way to play videos from archive.org, and Gemini AI told me this tool might be a good option. I made a tool with its help to auto-generate .strm files for videos on archive.org, but it doesn't work for some videos. Some of them it doesn't see any in the listing, though I can play them when I'm logged in to the actual archive.org website. I have ytdlp2strm spun up, and I have gotten my cookies.txt file from archive.org, but I'm not sure what format to have my .strm file put the video url so that it points to my instance of ytdlp2strm and has that proxy the video. I just get a bunch of "not found" pages.

So, a couple of questions: should ytdlp2STRM handle a request like this with a direct video link properly? If not, can it be added?

Basically, my tool generates a .strm file with the video link on archive.org, but I can't play it due to not being "logged in" which is what the cookies.txt file should accomplish if I send the link to ytdlp2STRM.

Unless I'm completely mistaken... which could definitely be the case.
