I experience similar behavior (403 Forbidden warning) if there is an age check on the video.

I have authenticated in the download tool, but I get a similar warning as to the issue described by the OP.

One of the LTT April Fool's videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJwjqZZgcWk

If I am not logged into google with my desktop browser, I will be greeted with "Sign in to confirm your age This video may be inappropriate for some users." when trying to play the video.

If you're authenticated, you shouldn't see the warning

[ninianne98]

I'd have thought so, but that is the behavior I am seeing.

I am using 1.13.3 - the win x64 bundle on windows 10. If there are as-yet "unreleased" fixes in a specific branch, I'm up for using that.

My daily driver browser is Firefox, when logged into google, I can play the video no problem, but if I access using Edge or Chrome, which I do not log into google on any regular basis, I am prompted with the age warning.

I did have an earlier issue where I tried downloading another video, and got a short alert along the lines of "video 'X' not available" vs the 403 Forbidden error stack, and in that case, was greeted with a "login to prove you are not a bot" when viewing in Edge or Chrome, and so, once I had logged in with the tool, the video downloaded no problem. I have remained logged into the tool, and have verified the login status using the authentication icon and dialog.

I'm up for some debugging if there's some breakpoints etc that might be likely suspects that might provide more details.

It doesn't matter. The warning is displayed regardless you authenticated or not. However, if you already approved video once than you will no longer see the warning on such video.

I've already watched the LTT video in my browser ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dJwjqZZgcWk - age restricted), authenticated into the tool, but it consistently gives me the forbidden 403, other videos without this restriction download fine. I pulled the source code, and using the main library + command line harness, it tells me I need to login, but when I use the actual download tool and authenticate, it cannot, and results in a 403.

@ninianne98 browser & this app have separate cookies, so it has no effect on each other. Similar, if you would open same video in Chrome & Firefox. The walkaround might be having integrated in YoutubeDownloader browser like CefSharp, where user could manually press required buttons and pass cookies directly to YoutubeExplode, unless Tyrrrz find a way to inject javascript auto-click or on-fly modification of cookies if that's even possible.

I'm well aware of each app/browser having their own cookies (it's even something I leverage on a regular basis), but was responding to the statement about if the video has already been approved, on the off chance that somehow my profile was linked to having watched/accepted the "risks" of watching the video. Thanks for the tip about CefSharp, seems like something worth checking out. The last time I did some C# driven browser manipulation was using the selenium web driver.

@ninianne98 I suppose the approve is linked to account+cookie, not just account. You may try prove hypothesis by install/open already approved video in different browser.

Thanks for the tip about CefSharp, seems like something worth checking out.

Retrieving cookies from CEF may looks like this:

private async Task<List<System.Net.Cookie>> GetCookiesAsync()
{
    List<System.Net.Cookie> listNetCookie = new List<System.Net.Cookie>();
    var cookieContainer = new CookieContainer();
    var cookieManager = Cef.GetGlobalCookieManager();
    var cookies = await cookieManager.VisitUrlCookiesAsync("https://www.youtube.com", true);

    foreach (var cefCookie in cookies)
    {
        var cookie = new System.Net.Cookie(cefCookie.Name, cefCookie.Value, cefCookie.Path, cefCookie.Domain);
        listNetCookie.Add(cookie);
    }
    return listNetCookie;
}

Than, I don't have much knowledge on YoutubeExplode API. Perhaps something like passing into initializer: new YoutubeClient( cookie ).

Please try the latest CI build, it should be fixed

Well, I pulled latest master branch for YoutubeDownloader, and I can see that the Explode package is updated and then tried running the code. I confirmed that I am authenticated, but I still get the 403 Forbidden when I try to grab the video (v=dJwjqZZgcWk or v=EjlC2rLbx7A). I made sure to perform a clean solution before running.

As a validation that the existing downloading was still working fine, I used several videos previously downloaded and the tool grabbed the thumbnails & downloaded fine, when age restriction is not in place.

Does it also not work if you're not authenticated?

Behavior is the same whether I am signed in with the tool to Google or not.

Interestingly, if I am using a list of videos, the thumbnail & title for the restricted videos are retrieved, and they simply appear as failed in the status/result list, but when trying to obtain them singly, it returns the 403 forbidden error stack and does not provide the usual thumbnail and quality selector dialog.
