I've never had trouble downloading age-restricted videos using youtube-dl. So it's worth a shot using it to access the video that way. I think with mpv + youtub

I've never had trouble downloading age-restricted videos using youtube-dl. So it's worth a shot using it to access the video that way. I think with mpv + youtube-dl you can alternatively watch the video directly.

- jazzyjackson 5y agoJust tried it since youtube-dl is updated every so often, and yeah that's quite unfortunate. After the latest brew upgrade: youtube-dl "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=id6AqKIxd94" [youtube] id6AqKIxd94: Downloading webpage [youtube] id6AqKIxd94: Downloading embed webpage [youtube] id6AqKIxd94: Refetching age-gated info webpage ERROR: This video may be inappropriate for some users.
