bypass youtube cookie screen

aristosv · 12-12-2023, 01:59 AM

I am using the following command to show a full screen YouTube video on a remote screen.

Code:

xinit /usr/bin/chromium \
                    --aggressive-cache-discard \
                    -no-sandbox \
                    --enable-features=OverlayScrollbar \
                    --window-size=1920,1080 \
                    --start-fullscreen \
                    --kiosk \
                    --incognito \
                    --noerrdialogs \
                    --no-first-run \
                    --fast \
                    --fast-start \
                    --disable-infobars \
                    'https://www.youtube.com/live/amzSyx8Alzk?si=vhlD1RqKGBvSQ7XH' -- -nocursor"

The problem is that YouTube wants consent for cookies (see attached)

How can I bypass this screen? Keep in mind this is a headless remote computer.

Install a good adblocker, they usually can block not just ads but all sorts of junk including consent pages. ublock origin definitely does - no consent page on youtube with freshly cleared cookies. No ads either :)

eventually, this did it. No ad blocker needed

Code:

xinit /usr/bin/chromium \
          -no-sandbox \
          --enable-features=OverlayScrollbar \
          --window-size=1440,900 \
          --start-fullscreen \
          --kiosk \
          --noerrdialogs \
          --no-first-run \
          --fast \
          --fast-start \
          --disable-infobars \
          'https://www.youtube.com/embed/vF2C7kANUXY?&autoplay=1&mute=1&loop=1&playlist=vF2C7kANUXY' -- -nocursor

Even using the tab and enter buttons to select 'reject' won't work on remote computer?
