What happened?
A podcast with 18+ videos I watch is giving errors. I've seen this elsewhere with yt-dlp so its well documented, but usually there is an easy way to add cookies or instructions on how to fix.
Steps to reproduce
- Add a channel with 18+ videos (@BadFriends for example)
- Watch for yt-dlp errors in logs, not all videos fail only 18+ videos.
