Issues with YouTube bot detection when using yt-dlp in a self-hosted n8n workflow

I am on a self-hosted instance on Ubuntu and tried to replicate this offline Youtube transcript generator using yt-dlp and the command line node… unfortunately as expected there is problems with youtube bot detection. Does anyone have a solution for these kinds of problems?
