cookies file in the Netscape format. The specs of the
Netscape cookies format can be found here:
https://curl.se/docs/http-cookies.html. The cookies
file is now required due to the Twitter API change
that prohibited guest user access to Twitter API
endpoints on 2023-07-01.

%(creator_id)s

Known Errors
Changing ID3 metadata in HLS audio elementary stream is not implemented....
This is an error in ffmpeg that does not affect twspace_dl at all as far as I know.
