Domain restricted embed video

Hello there, been using the module for a while and it’s awesome so far, but now I hit a wall with the following:

While trying to get a video with explicit content the module does a workaround with an embed url, that’s what I understand so far(please correct me if I’m wrong here) but then that video has a domain restriction so the embed strategy fails.

So I’m doing this(pretty normal)

1. ytdl.getInfo(url ...: no error here, and I got the video itags info and everything else
2. ytdl(url ...: [Error: status code 403]

This is the video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=B3eAMGXFw1o (awful song btw)

I tried some things like using Referer in the headers(like here), but no luck.

As far as I could see the 403 happens in /videoplayback request.

If is there any more info I can provide please say so.

Thanks for your time.

PS: I’m running latest version 0.7.13 and just happens with the video above, I had not tested it with a video with similar configuration. I ran mocha test and all tests passed, just to see if I had some strange network setup

think i found a fix… at least worked for this one video all i did is i added sts: '17186' to the query params of the get_video_info url in https://github.com/fent/node-ytdl-core/blob/master/lib/info.js#L87 that variable can also be found in the yt.setConfig(Line10 for me) and also in the base.js(Line 6641 for me) hope it also works for u…

should also fix https://github.com/fent/node-ytdl-core/issues/98 https://github.com/fent/node-ytdl-core/issues/83
