Description

This addon can view age restricted videos even without logging in to Youtube. Would be great if you could incorporate it with yt-dlp.

Judging from https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/2770#issuecomment-1039151314, this won't be implemented on the core program I'm pretty sure you can hackily make extractor plugins implementing it tho

while this works for viewing age restricted videos, you will still need to be signed in & use a cookies file to download the video.

It uses multiple tricks to view the restricted video. We already implement most of them. The only one we don't implement is passing the request through a proxy with a logged in account. I will neither maintain such a proxy nor implement any third party proxy for this in yt-dlp. So this won't be implemented directly

Here's an extractor plugin to do this: https://gist.github.com/pukkandan/fcf5ca1785c80f64e471f0ee14f990fb
