Describe the bug

API: Local API

since 2 weeks i can observe this message:

"Error: [UNPLAYABLE] Video unavailable: The uploader has not made this video available in your country"

it may be true for video from different countrys, but today it started for one in my country and without the usage of a VPN to hide my true identity, it's a bug. It's unclear who makes the mistake, could be YT or FreeTube. Please invest.

That error comes from YouTube and is correct, according to YouTube's official API the uploader has restricted the video to only be viewable in Austria. You will get the same error message if you view the video on YouTube itself.

"regionRestriction": {
  "allowed": [
    "AT"
  ]
}

You can see it for yourself by clicking Execute on the API explorer here:

Closing as this isn't a FreeTube or a YouTube bug, we cannot do anything from our side about uploaders adding region restrictions to their videos.
