Pull Request Type
Description
Note for users that stumble upon this pull request: It is entirely expected that most age-restricted videos still WILL NOT PLAY, please DO NOT open any issues about this pull request not working.
This pull request adds a very limited age-restriction bypass, thanks to yt-dlp for finding it yt-dlp/yt-dlp@09a6c68. From my testing it only worked with one single video, one of the test cases from yt-dlp. As most age-restricted videos still won't play, I decided it was best to leave the wording of the age-restriction message as is.
