Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/286

In the Edge/Chromium section of 'copy authentication headers' of the Docs:

set Type to fetch instead of xhr.
Rationale: fetch is what appears in Edge as of 103.0.1264.71 (Official build) (x86_64)

In the 'macOS Special Pasting Instructions' of the Docs:

2nd bullet is incorrect. When followed as instructed, the command will become pbpaste | python Setup.py youtube and the terminal will return nothing and the program will end. However, when the command is suffixed, it works as intended. See command below. Propose to replace prefixing to suffixing. Match wordings accordingly.
Propose example code for pbpaste such as:
python Setup.py youtube | pbpaste
Rationale: Easier to understand with example

In Setup.py

Instruction to use ctrl + d returns BrokenPipeError: [Errno 32] Broken pipe. Upon checking the code and using ctrl + z code worked as intended.

I can provide screenshots and recreate the errors if requested.

My Environment:
macOS 11.6.8
Edge 103.0.1264.71 (Official build) (x86_64)
Terminal version 2.11 (440)
Bash version 5.1.16(1)-release (x86_64-apple-darwin20.6.0)

Also, thank you for this utility, I found it incredibly useful :)

@sigma67 commented on GitHub (Aug 2, 2022):

The type of the request is irrelevant, so yes, that can be removed.

The macOS instructions were added in #150, and pbpaste prefixing is correct - data flows from left to right in Unix instructions. However, I agree that an example would be helpful.

Ctrl (or cmd on Mac) + D sends EOF in the MacOS terminal, which is what's needed here. Did you press Enter after pasting? For me it only works when Ctrl-D is pressed on an empty line. That could also be added to instructions.
