There are many types of age-restricted videos and some are definitely downloaded. Which one are you having issues with?

Just updated to 1.14 and still having the same issue. If I am logged out, the tool will tell me to authenticate. Once authenticated, I receive the same error with a similar message (different line numbers).

Same problem with any version.

This is a larger issue, not specific to age-restricted videos. Every now and then YouTube may request an unauthenticated client to # -- as a measure against bots. This is tracked in #584.

Unfortunately, authentication is currently broken via #546 and #550. Closing as duplicate.
