Describe the bug
When trying to download age-restricted YouTube videos, the download either finishes immediately with 0 bytes -or- the web-ui freezes up if format selection is enabled (i.e. web-ui is darkened + endless spinner).
Expected behavior
yt-dlp Web UI should throw an error, informing the user that the video is age-restricted and thus cannot be downloaded.
Additional context
I also tried adding Netscape Cookies for a YT account which has the restriction lifted, but that did not change the behavior.
I'd assume the same applies to country-restricted YouTube videos, couldn't find one to test on short notice, though.

The download of the video in question works manually when using this command line: yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser <BROWSER> --extractor-args "youtube:player-client=tv" <URL>
Version running
v3.2.3
