We follow [youtube-dl's policy](https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl#can-you-add-support-for-this-anime-video-site-or-site-which-shows-current-movies-for-free) to not support services that is primarily used for infringing copyright.

# AUTOMATED CONTRIBUTIONS (AI / LLM) POLICY
Please refrain from submitting issues or pull requests that have been generated by an LLM or other fully-automated tools. Any submission that is in violation of this policy will be closed, and the submitter may be blocked from this repository without warning.
If you submit an issue, you need to understand what your issue description is saying. You need to be able to answer questions about your bug report or feature request. Using an AI tool to *proofread* your issue/comment text is acceptable. Using an AI tool to *write* your issue/comment text is unacceptable.
If you submit a pull request, you need to understand what every line of code you've changed does. If you can't explain why your PR is doing something, then do not submit it. Using an AI tool to generate entire lines of code is unacceptable.
The rationale behind this policy is that automated contributions are a waste of the maintainers' time. Humans spend their time and brainpower reviewing every submission. Issues or pull requests generated by automation tools create an imbalance of effort between the submitter and the reviewer. Nobody learns anything when a maintainer reviews code written by an LLM.
Additionally, AI-generated code conflicts with this project's license (Unlicense), since you cannot truly release code into the public domain if you didn't author it yourself.

The currently available clients are `web`, `web_safari`, `web_embedded`, `web_music`, `web_creator`, `mweb`, `ios`, `android`, `android_vr`, `tv` and `tv_embedded`. By default, `tv,ios,web` is used, or `tv,web` is used when authenticating with cookies. The `web_music` client is added for `music.youtube.com` URLs when logged-in cookies are used. The `web_embedded` client is added for age-restricted videos but only works if the video is embeddable. The `tv_embedded` and `web_creator` clients are added for age-restricted videos if account age-verification is required. Some clients, such as `web` and `web_music`, require a `po_token` for their formats to be downloadable. Some clients, such as `web_creator`, will only work with authentication. Not all clients support authentication via cookies. You can use `default` for the default clients, or you can use `all` for all clients (not recommended). You can prefix a client with `-` to exclude it, e.g. `youtube:player_client=default,-ios`

The `web_music` client is added for `music.youtube.com` URLs when logged-in cookies are used. The `web_embedded` client is added for age-restricted videos but only works if the video is embeddable.

You can prefix a client with `-` to exclude it, e.g. `youtube:player_client=default,-ios`
* `player_skip`: Skip some network requests that are generally needed for robust extraction. One or more of `configs` (skip client configs), `webpage` (skip initial webpage), `js` (skip js player), `initial_data` (skip initial data/next ep request). While these options can help reduce the number of requests needed or avoid some rate-limiting, they could cause issues such as missing formats or metadata.

* `visitor_data`: Overrides the Visitor Data used in Innertube API requests. This should be used with `player_skip=webpage,configs` and without cookies. Note: this may have adverse effects if used improperly. If a session from a browser is wanted, you should pass cookies instead (which contain the Visitor ID)
* `po_token`: Proof of Origin (PO) Token(s) to use. Comma seperated list of PO Tokens in the format `CLIENT.CONTEXT+PO_TOKEN`, e.g. `youtube:po_token=web.gvs+XXX,web.player=XXX,web_safari.gvs+YYY`. Context can be either `gvs` (Google Video Server URLs) or `player` (Innertube player request)
* `po_token`: Proof of Origin (PO) Token(s) to use. Comma seperated list of PO Tokens in the format `CLIENT.CONTEXT+PO_TOKEN`, e.g. `youtube:po_token=web.gvs+XXX,web.player=XXX,web_safari.gvs+YYY`. Context can be any of `gvs` (Google Video Server URLs), `player` (Innertube player request) or `subs` (Subtitles)
* `pot_trace`: Enable debug logging for PO Token fetching. Either `true` or `false` (default)
* `fetch_pot`: Policy to use for fetching a PO Token from providers. One of `always` (always try fetch a PO Token regardless if the client requires one for the given context), `never` (never fetch a PO Token), or `auto` (default; only fetch a PO Token if the client requires one for the given context)
* `playback_wait`: Duration (in seconds) to wait inbetween the extraction and download stages in order to ensure the formats are available. The default is `6` seconds

* `bind_to_visitor_id`: Whether to use the Visitor ID instead of Visitor Data for caching WebPO tokens. Either `true` (default) or `false`

* `backend`: Backend API to use for extraction - one of `streaks` (default) or `brightcove` (deprecated)
#### vimeo
* `client`: Client to extract video data from. The currently available clients are `android`, `ios`, and `web`. Only one client can be used. The `web` client is used by default. The `web` client only works with account cookies or login credentials. The `android` and `ios` clients only work with previously cached OAuth tokens
* `original_format_policy`: Policy for when to try extracting original formats. One of `always`, `never`, or `auto`. The default `auto` policy tries to avoid exceeding the web client's API rate-limit by only making an extra request when Vimeo publicizes the video's downloadability
