Youtube-dl problem

[seymoria]

Hi.

Does Youtube dl download adult warning videos?

For example, on below URL it says "Error : Content Warning". Does not download it. (Pls see attachment).

Thanks for advice.

It seems Youtube itself has introduced a brand-new && brand-fäggy censorship algorithm......

I had no trouble downloading that video from the USA with simply:

youtube-dl https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMJ6BNYipv0

But when I set my VPN to Pakistan I get the content warning and no download. So use a proxy or VPN in some other country. For example, this USA proxy is working right now:

youtube-dl --proxy 35.189.179.23:3128 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iMJ6BNYipv0

Thanks for the great advice.

After connecting through my VPN, I was able download the video from Youtube-dl normally.

Highly grateful.
