[QUESTION] Adding cookies for age restricted tracks?

[onegentig]

Greetings.

I would like to ask how to make playing age restricted tracks possible.

As of now, playing age restricted tracks will throw an Status code: 410 error. I was able to handle that error just by using the player error event and notify users about the problem, but I would like to be able to play restricted tracks as well, if it is even possible.

While looking up the issue, I found something about using addons/extensions to extract a cookies.txt file from YouTube, which are then somehow passed to YTDL. Apart from using a command option, I wasn't able to find a guide/example/usage/... about how to pass the file to YTDL - maybe only this, but what were the passed values? (I don't have experience with YTDL directly, which is why the confusion..my apologies...).

So, I'm asking - how can I make age restricted videos available in my DMP-using bot? If it's these cookies I mentioned, how do I extract them and pass them to the bot/player/ytdl/...?

Thank you very much for any answers.
