So I was trying to download the video sited in here https://github.com/blackjack4494/yt-dlc/issues/7 and while its true that youtube-dl downloads something, like @nbmrjuhneibkr said, it just downloads a test video that says it is age restricted, not the actual video
Edit: I got confused, he posted a test video and it has similar link, but the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7takIh1nK0s can't download
I used the cookies extension (both, the current site and all the sites option) and have the "--cookies cookies.txt" paramether and I still get the "ERROR: Video is age restricted and only playable on Youtube. Requires cookies!"
Here is my config, I have no problem with it on YT-DL so I'm guessing they all work in here too.. Its the only video I haven't been able to download config.txt
Edit2: After trying and retrying for some time, it finally worked.. Guess it was an issue with th YT connection?

@insaneracist could this be python version related? This link also fails: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgnwCQzjau8
Yeah it seems there is a problem with YT tonight, I got scared as I downloaded the whole Unus Annus + some concerts + some videos and while downloading the last Unus one I got error 503.. thought YT temporarily suspended my IP.. but using VPN, phone, etc doesn’t load.. and online people are saying it’s down to them too
So I’ll guess we need to try later

this link - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgnwCQzjau8 works if you use the cookies option.
and this link here - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7takIh1nK0s also works if you use the cookies option. just make sure that you are signed in to youtube when using the cookies option.

I am logged in to YT using Chrome, immediately creating a cookie file with https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/get-cookiestxt/bgaddhkoddajcdgocldbbfleckgcbcid used --rm-cache-dir and --no-cache-dir. Neither helped. Running MacOS with Python 2.7 am I doing something wrong? any advice is appreciated.
Just out of curiosity tried with --username -- password params and got ERROR: Video is age restricted and only playable on Youtube. Requires cookies! which is probably expected behavior.
retry like this > youtube-dlc https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7takIh1nK0s --cookies cookies.txt -f mp4 see if that works

Nope.. it's the same crash as in my initial report.
@blackjack4494 @insaneracist However, if I use Python 3 it works like a charm! It's definitely Python version problem on how cookies file is handled. might be again some "str" variable as it was in some playlist case, if I remember correctly. Hope someone can make it compatible with python 2.7 as may MacOS users are running it in terminal out of the box.
run sudo apt install python3-pip install that and then run python3 -m pip install --upgrade youtube-dlc
run sudo apt install python3-pip install that and then run python3 -m pip install --upgrade youtube-dlc
Thanks for your help. Installing and using Python3 is not a problem, however, like I said thousands of ytdlc users can be and are running 2.7 in MacOS Terminal. Making cookie functionality compatible with 2.7 will just help with future duplicate issue reports like this and will make the tool more flexible.
This line probably triggers the error
cookie_keys = self._get_cookies('https://www.youtube.com').keys()
There is seems to be a problem when using keys()
