I fixed the Youtube Downloader for this bug https://itch.io/post/11278987 (Let me know if you still get bugs after this fix.).
Here is a video of me downloading an age restricted video: https://i.imgur.com/EUkM8My.mp4
See the new error message which hints that a video may be age restricted, even if it is a valid URL:
The changelog is:
### November 2nd, 2024
- Fixed the Youtube Downloader. Age-restricted videos only work if your default browser is Firefox and you are logged in. In future, this can be extended to all chromium-based browsers, once this issue is solved by other people. https://github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp/issues/10927
Here is the code that detects your browser and if not firefox, runs without "cookies-from-browser" because non-firefox currently breaks the downloader. You can always see the command it did by checking your "log.txt" in AnimationBuddyData (the log is cleared every time you start Animation Buddy).
