Error processing video: age restricted

[amkazan]

Error processing video: video is age restricted, and can't be accessed without logging in.

Ideas?

Remove that video from the playlist. You can’t get around that issue easily because it’s on YouTube’s end.

It requires that we are logged in to YouTube, can we pass cookies that perhaps indicate that we are logged in.

It only requires that if you are trying to get an age restricted video or your own private video. Given that these are special cases I don’t really want to complicate things in the main script. You’re welcome to submit a PR for that and it could be in a separate feature branch (or maybe in the main branch but behind an option flag).

I was working with some medical videos that were age restricted so I had to find a quick workaround. I downloaded the audio version of the playlist locally with yt-dlp and then modified the code a bit to transcribe from a local folder that had the audios. worked well. if I get some time I might submit a PR that does as you suggest. Thanks.
