Age restricted YouTube videos not downloading

Post by Psyberion »

Hi,

Age restricted videos on YouTube do not appear to be downloading in the latest version (14.22.0922). I also have the AddOn.

At least I have tried a few and the only common thing I can see is that they are age restricted.

I have managed to download others from the same channel which are not age restricted.

I also tried using the free anonymous proxy, just in case that could bypass the issue. I connected to the proxy ok, and told the YouTube downloader to use it, but I got the same result.

I get a "Download Failed. Please try again!" message on the video in the list, next to the download button. And a windows notification saying "Please try to re-add the video, if it happens again you might need to use a VPN or Proxy". I have tried removing and re-adding the video, also closing the software and then launching it again and re-adding the video several times, and I have also tried restarting the PC as well to be sure. In most of the attempts I only had the one video in the download list.

The videos play just fine on YouTube.

Regards.
