Hi

I am trying to use the bookmarklet, but when I press on it when in a youtube page all I get is an empty screen that says "true" after clicking on it. I put the right server ip and the port.

I am usingn the python version, and I tested regular ui download and that works.

javascript:!function(){fetch("http://IP:PORTyoutube-dl/q",{body:new URLSearchParams({url:window.location.href,format:"bestvideo"}),method:"POST"})}();

Here is the response log when clicked

IP - - [04/Nov/2019 20:08:20] "GET /youtube-dl/q HTTP/1.1" 404 744

Here I get a similar error when I use the curl method

curl -X POST --data-urlencode "url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6XyFJLAIyM" http://IP:PORT/youtube-dl/q

curl -X POST --data-urlencode "url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=v6XyFJLAIyM" http://IP:PORT/youtube-dl/q

I can watch in a regular browser, but same youtube url produces the errors above, so this is something to do with the downloader

It seems to be an API change. But the erro I originally reported could be not related to the youtube-dl breakage.

FWIW - I am pretty sure this is a CORS problem. Not sure though just how to resolve it.
