Did you use login to confirm age?

I just got the same on 2016.07.03.1, even when logging in:

@The-Compiler Just looks like it's been updated by YT. Also see #4627

Also having the same problem. Successfully used the -u and -p options to login via cmd on Windows, but unfortunately the embedding issue still prevents the video from being downloaded. Does anyone know if there's a workaround for this yet?

[HermitCountry]

Same issue as above. Login through --netrc works but getting 'Playback on other websites has been disabled by the video owner' error.

[HermitCountry]

Thank you for the response, that saved me a lot of time. It was something with the Google account I was using. 2-step authentication was off and it looked like it was logging in in the debugger but it kept going to the embedded video. I'm not sure why.

I created a new account and it works as expected. Thanks again.
