It is now possible to enter credentials into steaming websites to download their videos on youtube-dl. For example, in Crunchyroll I would enter

youtube-dl http://www.crunchyroll.com/haikyu/episode-3-guess-monster-721863?t=8 --username USERNAME

There will be a password prompt and I only need to enter the password to download the video. Would it be possible to extend this feature to an SMPlayer installation that uses mpv = youtube-dl as its backend so that one can watch the stream directly in SMPlayer?

    I forgot about downloading subtitles in the example command above.

    youtube-dl --all-subs http://www.crunchyroll.com/haikyu/episode-3-guess-monster-721863?t=8 --username USERNAME

    There have been some changes to Crunchyroll, but one can now login with a cookie file from your login session instead. For example the command with a batch downloader for English subtitles would be:

    youtube-dl -a batch --write-sub --sub-lang enUS --cookies cookies.txt
