Age Restricted Videos

[Rumik]

Hi there,

Youtube-dl is failing to download age restricted videos. Any idea what the solution is?

Thanks

The solution is to switch to yt-dlp, as it seems like the problem is due to youtube-dl itself.

If you run podsync in a Docker container, you can SSH into the container and run the following commands to replace youtube-dl by yt-dlp :

wget -O /usr/bin/youtube-dl https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/releases/latest/download/yt-dlp
chmod +x /usr/bin/youtube-dl
apk --no-cache add python3 py3-pip

See this Issue #237

Hopefully podsync will switch to use yt-dlp soon and that will fix the problem for good 🙂
