Description:
yt-dlp-ejs provides the external JavaScript (EJS) scripts that yt-dlp uses to interact with YouTube's player logic. These scripts enable full support for YouTube by solving JavaScript-based challenges, such as signature and throttle parameter decryption. A JavaScript runtime is required at runtime to execute these scripts. Supported runtimes include Deno, Node.js, Bun, and QuickJS.
