opusforlife2 · 2021-05-31T18:21:55Z

Confirmed, at least with the provided video link.

But I tried several other NSFW videos and they all open. So the criterion for this error seems to be more specific than just "18+".

Could you find more of such videos so we can narrow it down further, @OhMyLove666?

OhMyLove666 · 2021-06-01T03:08:07Z

I am not sure about the bug but all age-gated videos from this channel don't load properly. Note that only latest three videos are age-gated, others are not.

https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCWUQQ1LsNMBRpcTjcbCIH6Q

opusforlife2 · 2021-06-01T06:30:36Z

Found more. Several videos on this channel show this error: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCBE3huCQcUOd-G2jHAr8emQ

Though all of them seem to be NSFW, some videos do open. If you turn off the age-restricted content setting, then more of them show the same error.

mobd · 2021-06-01T06:56:50Z

This age-restricted video on a safe channel also doesn't work for me: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Fiu9GSOmt8E

opusforlife2 · 2021-06-01T14:13:37Z

@mobd That video opens fine for me. Sure your age restriction setting is on?

It's may be affected by EU-specific issue; see youtube-dl's issue ytdl-org/youtube-dl#28578

opusforlife2 · 2021-06-02T14:59:58Z

If there are multiple 'levels' of age restriction, then Newpipe should be aware of them, at least. Whether or not it is able to extract every such stream is secondary. But there should definitely be different error messages.

AndnixSH · 2021-06-18T08:34:26Z

Damn. Even connecting to US VPN no longer works on Newpipe and Youtube app still asking for verification.it seems Google is detecting VPN now

@SameenAhnaf I am talking about this issue, excatly #6514. that's what i'm getting when trying to play age restricted videos, and using VPN no longer works no matter what non-EU servers I have choosen.

I'm sure they recently make changes which is affecting all apps and extension which bypassed age restriction, like this Tampermonkey script zerodytrash/Simple-YouTube-Age-Restriction-Bypass#18

Para-lyzed · 2021-06-18T20:59:31Z

I can confirm that I am experiencing this issue with the show age-restricted content setting on for the following videos. I am not able to load either video on a VPN, or on a native connection in the US, so at the very least, this does not seem to be entirely related to EU. I am running a fresh install of the latest version (reinstalled to troubleshoot). Note that while the age-restrictions on the videos I linked were requested by the uploader, there are other videos in this thread that were not, so it does not seem to be specific to an uploader requested age-restriction.

OhMyLove666 · 2021-06-18T21:52:10Z

@AndnixSH Wait. Do only age-gated videos cause problems on VPN? I am having issues with only a number of age-gated videos and only they don't load regardless of the VPN I use.

@OhMyLove666 Not as far as I can tell. I experience the same issue whether I'm using a VPN or not. I live in the US, so I can also confirm it isn't an issue specific to the EU as was mentioned earlier.

zerodytrash · 2021-06-18T23:47:09Z

For videos that are embeddable, the following parameters on the /get_video_info endpoint seem to help at the moment: &c=TVHTML5&cver=7.20190319

Example-Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fiu9GSOmt8E
=> https://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?html5=1&video_id=Fiu9GSOmt8E&eurl=https%3A%2F%2Fyoutube.googleapis.com%2Fv%2FFiu9GSOmt8E&c=TVHTML5&cver=7.20190319
=> playabilityStatus: OK

Tested from EU, with and without session cookies.

opusforlife2 · 2021-06-19T18:30:41Z

Interesting update: Now all videos except one from the channel link in my comment here #6403 (comment) refuse to open. Something changed in the meanwhile.

awasay905 · 2021-06-21T07:37:55Z

Is there any hope for this problem to be solved?

scifirenegade · 2021-06-22T19:56:05Z

This is something to do with Google asking for ids, because the EU went full "think of the children" mode. Maybe using a VPN may help?

Para-lyzed · 2021-06-22T21:05:47Z

@scifirenegade US user here. I still experience this issue whether I use a VPN or not, regardless of where in the world the VPN is from (tried all sorts of countries, and yes, that includes multiple states in the US). As such, it is not localized to the EU, though it seems to have been caused by the EU's new policies.

scifirenegade · 2021-06-23T14:42:41Z

Google now requires your phone number to created new accounts. And the alternative is giving them your ID.
So much for user datat protection. Well done EU...
