 ## Troubleshooting 🛠️  
-- **Slskd Download Path Permissions**: Ensure Lidarr has read/write access to the Slskd download path. Verify folder permissions and ensure the user running Lidarr has the necessary access. For Docker setups, confirm the volume is correctly mounted and permissions are set.  
-- **Optional: FFmpeg Issues**: If you choose to use FFmpeg and songs fail to process, verify that FFmpeg is correctly installed and accessible in your system's PATH. If not, try reinstalling or downloading it manually.  
-- **Metadata Issues**: If metadata is not being added to downloaded files, confirm that the files are in a supported format. If using FFmpeg, ensure it is extracting audio to formats like AAC embedded in MP4 containers (check debug logs).  
-- **No Release Found**: If no release is found, YouTube might flag the plugin as a bot (which it technically is). To avoid this and access higher-quality audio, you can log in using cookies.  
-  - **Steps to Use Cookies**:  
-    1. Install the **cookies.txt** extension for your browser:  
-       - [Get cookies.txt for Chrome](https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/get-cookiestxt-locally/cclelndahbckbenkjhflpdbgdldlbecc)  
-       - [Get cookies.txt for Firefox](https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/cookies-txt/)  
-    2. Log in to YouTube and save the cookies.txt file in a folder accessible by Lidarr.  
-    3. Go to the **Indexer and Downloader** settings in Lidarr and add the file path to the cookies.txt file.
