Description
This video can be viewed when user is logged into youtube, but it is (almost?) impossible to get this video with yt_dlp:
yt-dlp.exe -F https://youtu.be/gdEuD9MMZd0 [youtube] gdEuD9MMZd0: Downloading webpage [youtube] gdEuD9MMZd0: Downloading android player API JSON [youtube] gdEuD9MMZd0: Downloading tv embedded player API JSON [youtube] gdEuD9MMZd0: Downloading web embedded client config [youtube] gdEuD9MMZd0: Downloading player d1783cbe [youtube] gdEuD9MMZd0: Downloading web embedded player API JSON ERROR: [youtube] gdEuD9MMZd0: Sign in to confirm your age. This video may be inappropriate for some users.
I have heard info about cookies and other stuff those are supposed to help to solve this case, but I never got this scheme working…
Dear author: can you PLEASE make new feature that will assure youtube that yt_dlp is 42 years old user - to get videos like mentioned earlier w/o problems ?
Thank You in advance !
