Unable to download a private video with cookies (`400 Bad Request`)

Version

Platform

.NET 9 / Windows 11

Steps to reproduce

Summary

I want to download private videos after having the Youtube cookie file. I tried to check with the yt-dlp tool and the video can still be downloaded normally. yt-dlp --cookies "youtube.com_cookies.txt" url I solved it by reading the content from the cookie file and initializing the Youtube Client to download the video but got an error

1. Parse cookie file

    private static List<Cookie> ParseCookieFile(string cookieFilePath)
    {
        var lines = File.ReadAllLines(cookieFilePath);

        return (from line in lines
            where !string.IsNullOrWhiteSpace(line) && !line.StartsWith('#')
            select line.Split('\t')
            into parts
            where parts.Length >= 7
            select new Cookie
            {
                Domain = parts[0],
                Path   = parts[2],
                Secure = bool.Parse(parts[3]),
                Name   = parts[5],
                Value  = parts[6]
            }).ToList();
    }

2. Initialize youtube client with cookies

public async Task DownloadPrivateVideoAsync(string videoUrl, FileFormat fileFormat, string cookieFilePath, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
{
    var cookies = ParseCookieFile(cookieFilePath);
    var youtube = new YoutubeClient(cookies);
    var request = new YtdlpRequest
    {
        ClassName  = "Private",
        FileFormat = fileFormat,
        LessonName = "Private",
        LessonNo   = 0,
        StartTrim  = 0,
        EndTrim    = 0,
        Url        = videoUrl
    };

    var audioFileName = await DownloadMediaV2Async(youtube, request, Constants.Folder.Videos, cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);

    if (fileFormat == FileFormat.OnlyVideo) audioFileName.DeleteFile();
}

3. Get video information

private async Task<string> DownloadMediaV2Async(YoutubeClient youtube, YtdlpRequest request, string outputPath, CancellationToken cancellationToken = default)
{
    Video          video          = null!;
    StreamManifest streamManifest = null!;
    await AnsiConsoleHelper.LiveStatusAsync(async _ =>
    {
        var videoUrl = VideoId.Parse(request.Url);
        video          = await youtube.Videos.GetAsync(videoUrl, cancellationToken).ConfigureAwait(false);
        streamManifest = await youtube.Videos.Streams.GetManifestAsync(videoUrl, cancellationToken);
    }, "[darkorange]Getting video info...[/]");

    ...

    return audioFileName;
 }

After getting the video information, the following code gives an error. streamManifest = await youtube.Videos.Streams.GetManifestAsync(videoUrl, cancellationToken);
