+
+A: You need to successfully pass the CloudFlare anti-bot check and retrieve the cf_clearance Cookie that is set in the browser after successfully passing the check. This MUST be done from the same IP address and the same User-Agent string MUST be provided to chaturbate-dvr. Provide the cookie value and User-Agent string with the --cf-cookie and --user-agent command line options. The Cookie does expire, but it looks like it's Age is at ~1 year.
