https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VoM5j1PvnKo this is an age-restricted video rather than one with a CW but it fails to download all the same, likely due to the same reason

This video is age-restricted for me. Besides, YouTube Shorts should be supported: image

partially fixed in 4.5

unfortunately, this is impossible to fix due to youtube requiring all clients to sign in to "verify age". i am closing this issue as "won't fix" :(

i don't want to handle user credentials, especially of something as personal as google accounts
