I also tried to change the driver.find_element_by_id with the xPath variable, without any success. There i am know, stuck iat this point. I got these errors: Error: Could not accept cookies: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'find_element_by_xpath' Error: Could not play the video: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'find_element_by_xpath'
also (if i change xPath to id): Error: Could not open the website with the specified YouTube-Link: 'WebDriver' object has no attribute 'find_element_by_id'
