Unable to stream age gated video '6kLq3WMV1nU'

[1-geo]

I am trying a age restricted video but it seems it is not able to get any urls and failing. I believe embed is not allowed here. I have attached the link below from youtube-dl where it seems to be working.

https://github.com/ytdl-org/youtube-dl/blob/98998cded6e179b35055177f75fc921d99ee5938/youtube_dl/extractor/youtube.py#L440

Getting error below

[XCDYouTubeKit] Video operation finished with error: Sign in to confirm your age
Domain: XCDYouTubeVideoErrorDomain
Code:   150
User Info: {
    NSLocalizedDescription = "Sign in to confirm your age";
    NSURL = "https://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?el=detailpage&hl=en&ps=default&video_id=6kLq3WMV1nU";
}

Were you able to get that working with the latest version of youtube-dl? You might have to use the cookie feature in XCDYouTubeKit to get that working. See

XCDYouTubeKit/XCDYouTubeKit/XCDYouTubeClient.h

Lines 82 to 95 in 4dc4119

	/**
	* Starts an asynchronous operation for the specified video identifier, and calls a handler upon completion.
	*
	* @param videoIdentifier A 11 characters YouTube video identifier. If the video identifier is invalid (including nil) the completion handler will be called with an error with `XCDYouTubeVideoErrorDomain` domain and `XCDYouTubeErrorInvalidVideoIdentifier` code.
	* @param cookies An array of `NSHTTPCookie` objects, can be nil. These cookies can be used for certain videos that require a login.
	* @param completionHandler A block to execute when the client finishes the operation. The completion handler is executed on the main thread. If the completion handler is nil, this method throws an exception.
	*
	* @discussion If the operation completes successfully, the video parameter of the handler block contains a `<XCDYouTubeVideo>` object, and the error parameter is nil. If the operation fails, the video parameter is nil and the error parameter contains information about the failure. The error's domain is always `XCDYouTubeVideoErrorDomain`.
	*
	* @see XCDYouTubeErrorCode
	*
	* @return An opaque object conforming to the `<XCDYouTubeOperation>` protocol for canceling the asynchronous video information operation. If you call the `cancel` method before the operation is finished, the completion handler will not be called. It is recommended that you store this opaque object as a weak property.

Hi @SoneeJohn Yeah probably thats why. But how does youtube-dl work without any log in? Pretty weird unless its using some defaults. Any examples on how to use the cookie feature. Thanks

Working on a fix so you can do this without needing cookies.
