  This doesn’t work on age-restricted videos. You need to pass browser cookies where you have logged in to download such videos.

  Unless I’m missing something, it doesn’t appear to work. Image

  I tried to use Seal from Fdroid, which I think uses that yt dlp thing. Doesnt work.

    Ive never heard of seal before. No idea if that’s a good software or how it’s using yt-dlp or what version of yt-dlp it is using.

    I would try yt-dlp on a computer with the –verbose flag.

      Command line breaks my brain… too Gen Z brained to figure that out.

        After you install it, You type

        yt-dlp --verbose URL
        

        Just replace URL with the url you want to download.

        There are GUI programs that use yt-dlp underneath. I use YtDownloader, altho I haven’t tried it with an age-restricted video.

        (Freetube definitely can’t view age-restricted videos.)
