I would imagine there has been some sort of change made at YouTube's end to something in the code behind the implementation of age restricted videos. From what I can tell it is probably unrelated to the recent more general playback problems that have been affecting third party clients.

CWftw · 2024-08-06T23:52:12Z

Broken again for player b12cc44b. See: yt-dlp/yt-dlp#10668

oong819 · 2024-08-08T04:47:41Z

Are the stream still there but the player/whatever code get changed for age-restricted content or the stream completely gone?

oong819 · 2024-08-10T03:20:42Z

Can someone pin this issue to prevent duplicates?

yonggamer · 2024-08-19T01:01:06Z

could code from yt-dlp help? especially code from yt-dlp 2024.08.06

offbeat-stuff · 2024-08-19T11:27:38Z

could code from yt-dlp help? especially code from yt-dlp 2024.08.06

I tested the latest yt-dlp on https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=6LjPVsA_INg and can confirm it does not encounter the same error as newpipe (tested nightly,pipepipe,skytube,27.2).
So definetly could help.

Those wanting to watch videos could use
this https://github.com/zerodytrash/Simple-YouTube-Age-Restriction-Bypass?tab=readme-ov-file
Has extension and userscript version

This works perfectly without Google login on Firefox mobile with Tampermonkey, but the problem is there is no downloader. I wondering if this bypass method can be implemented on NewPipe?

acrodemocide · 2024-09-01T17:47:02Z

This looks like it will require an extractor change. I don't have the authority to apply that tag or if there is some level of confirmation I need to go through on this project to do so, but wanted to mention it.

rambalachandran · 2024-10-28T00:30:34Z

could not find the apk in the PR to use this fix in our devices

AudricV · 2024-10-28T06:37:50Z

It doesn't matter now, as YouTube removed all known ways to bypass age-restrictions without login.

oong819 · 2024-10-28T11:19:31Z

It doesn't matter now, as YouTube removed all known ways to bypass age-restrictions without login.

even NewPipeExtractor PR 1231 could not?

ShareASmile · 2024-10-28T20:30:19Z

even NewPipeExtractor PR 1231 could not?

Yes, all known ways without login also include PR 1231 & all methods yt-dlp used so far to bypass.

misterhackerman · 2024-11-25T04:37:39Z

Even nsfwyoutube is down, they say on the site:
"Please wait for a few seconds! Sadly, GGL keeps shutting "door after door", for our site, Invidious, Piped & all others,.. We are trying to fix it."

Why wontfix label added? Please add sign in feature and this issue will be fixed.

SprinkleBot · 2024-12-10T20:41:37Z

Can you all just close this thread at this point?

offbeat-stuff · 2024-12-11T11:03:39Z

Why wontfix label added? Please add sign in feature and this issue will be fixed.

Because it is now not possible to fix this as youtube leaves no method to viewing age restricted videos without an aged account.
