Age Agerestricted Videos

Your question

Why are age-restricted videos on YouTube ignored by VDH? I had an old version that worked perfectly. When I bought a license and foolishly updated, VDH stopped working for age-restricted videos. Unfortunately, I don't remember which version I had before to revert to the old version. Does anyone know until when this worked?

I do not work for VDH. I'm just another user.

If you ever got this to work, you're lucky. Seems to me I haven't gotten age-restricted videos on YouTube to work with VDH in at least 3 years, maybe longer. There's plenty of reports on this forum as well as on our predecessor forum on Google Groups complaining about this problem. I have no idea how long ago this started being a problem. You're going to be extremely lucky if you manage to find a version of VDH that works on such content. This problem is well-known to our dev but it seems it hasn't percolated to the top of the to-do list yet.

It should use the users session that is logged in, VDH acts like not being logged in YT
