Restriction on youtube-dl request

[idon1u2no]

Hello. First post, I'm probably going to receive some "newbie slams" for this question, and that's fine, but I did do some research, and there still seems to be a gray area in the answers I found. I used youtube-dl extensively a few years ago to download mp3 audio clips. My Verizon so-called high speed internet bandwidth ultimately became so crappy that I had to abandon that use. After a recent switch to Comcast/Xfinity (which has it's own issues, but bandwidth is currently not high among them) I have just resumed use of youtube-dl. I encountered an odd problem. I used a batch file (Windows OS) to set up the download of five files. It crapped out on the third file with a "restricted video" error., which immediately terminated the batch file processing. At first I thought that was some kind of enhanced copy protection, but after further research, it appears to be an age restriction. Which makes no sense for the video I requested, which was a Chuck Correa piano performance of George Gershwin's tune "Someone to Watch Over Me". Even if there was a plausible reason to age-restrict that video, why would YouTube allow me to watch it in real time, but restrict the download of it through youtube-dl? That is what makes the least sense to me. I do not have a YouTube account, I'm browsing and downloading anonymously. I did find several sets of instructions on how to use a cookie file with youtube-dl to provide registered user information (presumably as proof of age) to bypass the restriction, but given that I can watch the same video live, that doesn't make a great deal of sense to me. Any thoughts? Related Q: on a quick scan of the youtube-dl commands, I did not see a command or argument that would allow youtube-dl to gracefully skip such a video when it was presented as part of a list of downloads. Is there any such thing? If it matters, I presented the urls for the list as space-delimited items on the command line, I did not try to use an external text file via the "-a" argument for multiple downloads, mainly because I wasn't sure if I could successfully use that in conjunction with the arguments to convert to mp3, and I didn't want to risk fighting multiple issues until I refamiliarized myself with the program. Thanks in advance for any advice you might provide.
