Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

yt-dlp.exe --username "USERNAME" --password "PASSWORD" --get-url https://vod.afreecatv.com/player/

Error message I got is "WARNING: [afreecatv] In accordance with local laws and regulations, underage users are restricted from watching adult content. Only content suitable for all ages will be downloaded. Use --username and --password, --netrc-cmd, or --netrc (afreecatv) to provide account credentials"

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

• Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
• If using API, add 'verbose': True to YoutubeDL params instead
• Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below

Please don't edit your log / redact the URL.

yt-dlp is downloading 4 parts of the VOD in your log. How many parts does this VOD have in your browser when logged in?

Also, could you test this completely restricted VOD with yt-dlp login:

yt-dlp --username "YOURUSERNAME" --password "YOURPASSWORD" -vF "https://vod.afreecatv.com/player/70395877"

[eviljust]

I found one age restricted VOD which only have one part to make it easier for me to try.

Will be fixed by #10440. See the PR description for an explanation of what was going wrong.

@eviljust FYI the original version of your last comment contained your username and password. I have edited the comment and removed them, and I've deleted the original version of the comment. However, the original version of the comment was emailed to anyone subscribed to this issue or to the yt-dlp repository. I'd recommend changing your password ASAP

[eviljust]

Thanks. I have changed my password for the site.

@eviljust Fixed in master: yt-dlp --update-to master
