Improve Error message when trying to retrieve transcript for a age restricted video

Open jdepoix opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

As mentioned in #110, attempting to retrieve an age restricted video (without using cookies) currently raises an TranscriptsDisabled exception. We should introduce a specific exception for this case to make it more clear to the user what the actual error is.

Hy, I would like to work on this issue. Is this still open?

Hi @i-m-karanagarwal, while this issue is still open and contributions are very much welcome, maybe have a look at #110 before getting started. @xenova and @crhowell have already done some digging which indicated that it might be possible to retrieve age-restricted videos without using cookies. So working on that might be the best use of your time! 😊
