Can you try with cookies?
Doesn't work here either, even with a fresh cookie.txt file...
@g1ra, @blackjack4494, @nicolaasjan:
The solution is to also use the --user-agent
switch and provide as value EXACTLY the useragent string of the browser where both 1) the login was performed (to verify age) and 2) the cookies.txt
file was exported from (probably via a dedicated extension):
youtube-dl -F "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh2cDKyFdyU" --cookies "YTcookies_20201101.txt" --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/78.0.3904.108 Safari/537.36"

If you're using a Chromium derivative as the browser, then you probably need the cookies.txt v1.14.1 extension, but evil Google :smiling_imp: , current owners of Youtube, have recently obliterated it from the Chrome Web Store (CWS):
https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/njabckikapfpffapmjgojcnbfjonfjfg
If not installed already (I have it installed since long ago...), search for it elsewhere... FWIW, the best solution would be one where a Google account/mandatory browser login aren't required, but here's hopin'...
Best regards :smile:
Thanks, But that unfortunately didn't work...
I tried with both the cookies.txt
extension and with another one, which is still available (Get cookies.txt).
I have a zip-file of the cookies.txt
extension here.

FWIW, latest original youtube-dl (recently released v2020.11.1.1, safely moved into a private repo, off of GitHub), also works under the above scenario...

Sorry... My mistake. Deleted the post.
My particulars:
1. I am on **Windows Vista SP2 32-bit** 2. Using latest **yt-dlc** release (**2020.10.31**), specifically the **32-bit** compiled executable, **youtube-dlc_x86.exe**, simply renamed to youtube-dlc.exe (embeds **Python 3.5.4** x86, **won't** run under Windows XP SP3 x86). 3. Browser used is **360 Extreme Explorer v12** (Chromium 78 fork, but XP/Vista compatible) 4. Extension used **cookies.txt v1.14.1** 5. Youtube log-in was performed **mere minutes ago** (BTW, you also have to click on the video player itself to "accept" and initiate playback, **before** you extract cookies!). 6. A **fresh** cookies.txt file was exported (for ONLY the YT tab), renamed for sanity to **YTcookies_20201102.txt** and placed **adjacent** to youtube-dlc.exe 7. The following command worked:
youtube-dlc -F "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh2cDKyFdyU" --cookies "YTcookies_20201102.txt" --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.0) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/78.0.3904.108 Safari/537.36" -v
=>
Followed your instructions, but no luck (same error)... Youtube-dlc compiled from the master branch today (but the release version doesn't work either).
youtube-dlc --ignore-config -F "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh2cDKyFdyU" --cookies /home/nico/.config/youtube-dlc/yt-cookies.txt --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:82.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/82.0" -v
- Youtube log-in was performed mere minutes ago (BTW, you also have to click on the video player itself to "accept" and initiate playback, before you extract cookies!).
That's what I did in my previous attempt as well. yt-cookies.txt
placed adjacent to youtube-dlc made no difference.
Something else must be the culprit.
I think I just give up...

Try this: After you have logged-in to YT and initiated the age-gated video playback, reload the yt tab and THEN export cookies for that tab; FWIW, my cookies.txt file looks like this (tab-delimited, crucial cookie values redacted):

@blackjack4494 asked:
@Vangelis66 have you tried different user agents so far?
Hello, thanks for your efforts! 👍
As (I hope) I have explained, it is not a matter of trying various useragent strings; instead, it is an attempt to emulate (in the youtube-dlc
command) as closely as possible a youtube sanctioned browser, along with a working yt account (one that can successfully bypass the age restriction and initiate video playback in said browser); if, in that context, you're now asking if I have tried the "procedure" on a different browser (other than 360EE v12), please read below...
Being on Windows Vista SP2 32-bit, I don't have a wide selection of current/updated browsers to choose from 😢 ; @nicolaasjan, if you're the same person as the MSFN forums member with the same username, then you should be familiar with roytam1's Serpent 52.9.0 browser (a fork of Basilisk/UXP browser, itself a fork of Firefox ESR 52).
Since I also use Serpent in my Vista laptop, I tried the "procedure" with it; unlike official Basilisk, Serpent has retained some rudimentary Web Extensions support; as such, the cookie-extracting add-on I use there is ganbo; of the versions listed on AMO, 0.2 is the one compatible with Serpent 52; additional modification is needed to convince it to install though, because it's an id-less WE and Serpent doesn't support these; the modified & compatible XPI can be accessed here 😄 .
Though using a fresh browser profile would be ideal, I made sure in my "dirty" profile that I first disabled all youtube-related extensions+userscripts (I had several installed) prior to loading the offending URI:
Now, Serpent comes with a pre-installed youtube SSUAO (site-specific-UA-override) inside its about:config
settings,
general.useragent.override.youtube.com;Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0 Basilisk/52.9.0
the value of which should be used with the --user-agent
switch in the yt-dlc
command later on...
Below is the page after a successful yt sign-in:
Then, after I click on the "I understand and wish to continue (rough translation from Greek)" embedded player button, playback (usually) starts:
While the video still plays (and being signed-in), I click on the ganbo toolbar button, which displays all the yt related cookies (values erased in the screengrab):
Then, I quickly export (download) "Cookies for this tab" to a file, renamed to YTcookies_Serpent_20201103-2.txt
and placed adjacent to youtube-dlc.exe; it is imperative for one to act swiftly issuing the following command:
youtube-dlc -f best "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh2cDKyFdyU" --cookies "YTcookies_Serpent_20201103-2.txt" --user-agent "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:42.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/42.0 Basilisk/52.9.0" -v
which WORKED for me:
For proof, I let the cmd window open to download completion:
I must again stress that the extracted cookies.txt file gets invalidated pretty quickly; to repeat a download attempt, one has to
Other than the above details, I remain completely clueless as to the reason(s) things aren't working for the rest of the people on this thread; I feel gifted that at least two browsers on my system are "suitable" for the task at hand, and I won't be losing any more time on doing further tests; I wish the best to all of you trying to decipher the issue on your setups...
Thanks for this nice yt-dl fork, best wishes and stay safe (a month-long lockdown imposed here as of yesterday 😞 ) ...
if you're the same person as the MSFN forums member with the same username
Yes, that's me. ;)
Tried again in a Windows XP virtual machine with Basilisk and your extension, but again no luck...
Could download though, via the URL's shown via F12 (delete the &range=xxxxx
part).
See my explanation here.
