script no longer works?

[Incineratinq]

just minutes ago i watched an age restricted video with the script enabled with Tampermonkey in Firefox. i opened another video in a new tab and tried watching it, now i get the same old verify age prompt. i then tried it on vivaldi which is my main browser, which has been working with no issues for a month or so, and neither video works there either.

Youtube seems to have apparently patched out the /get_video_info endpoint. The following returns a 404: https://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=fJr7Ph5SGO4

Youtube seems to kill the Endpoint right now. Sometimes the Endpoint is working and sometimes not.

Works for me when i add the &html5=1 param.
https://www.youtube.com/get_video_info?video_id=fJr7Ph5SGO4&html5=1

But sometimes I also get a 404 error. Very strange...

In the Linked Thread they added a few more Informations that also seem to say that youtube is shutting this api Endpoint Down

That would be a pity. I don't know any alternative.

[Atervanda]

At the risk of jinxing it: the script is working for me now (you may need to clear cookies), even though it wasn't an hour ago and no changes appear to have been made. Odd? The /get_video_info link still returns a 404.

Not working on FF, tried this video

Private window: same result, disabled ublock origin: same result. Signed in: Verify your age, Signed out: Sign in to confirm your age

same here, it just stopped working, html5=1 is not working anymore. It was still working few hours ago.

So do we have any way at all to get the url of video or download (with YT script or any other way) protected videos or not anymore?

[VanHoevenTR]

Same, not working for me too

[VindicatorHQ]

Stopped working on Chrome for me

I've added two more parameters (&c=TVHTML5&cver=7.20190319) to the /get_video_info endpoint.
Now it seems to work again. Can someone confirm this?

Although it works, it doesn't work with Ublock easylist for some reason.
