The recently imposed "must be logged in" restriction is a response to increased bot traffic on the site. This affects search, commits, and vuxml pages.
Search engines are not blocked. Try using "site:www.freshports.org" and your search terms.
After the ports freeze to fix some stuff, the freeze is over. I have some work to do before FreshPorts can start processing commits again before it can start processing again. I've created an issue for that.

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.
