Cannot watch age retricted videos.

[Metabot24]

Official Instance

• The bug is reproducible on the official hosted instance, or is API-related.

Describe the bug

On age restricted videos Piped seems to be no longer able to bypass them. Geo restricted videos work just find, it's just age restricted videos that I cannot watch without a Google account. This is universal across all instances.

To Reproduce

1. Find the url for a restricted video, this one for example: https://piped.lunar.icu/watch?v=slXHhu86SaY
2. Depending on the instance, one of two messages will appear: "Age restricted videos cannot be watched anonymously", or "This age-restricted video cannot be watched"
   
   

Expected behavior

What usually happens is the video plays as normal, albeit with no recommended videos in the sidebar, but I've come to expect that and it doesn't hamper my video watching experience in the slightest. Now the player AND recommended videos are missing with only the comments showing.

Logs/Errors

Opera Backend:

We're sorry but Piped doesn't work properly without JavaScript enabled. Please enable it to continue.

<script nomodule>!function(){var e=document,t=e.createElement("script");if(!("noModule"in t)&&"onbeforeload"in t){var n=!1;e.addEventListener("beforeload",(function(e){if(e.target===t)n=!0;else if(!e.target.hasAttribute("nomodule")||!n)return;e.preventDefault()}),!0),t.type="module",t.src=".",e.head.appendChild(t),t.remove()}}();</script> <script nomodule crossorigin id="vite-legacy-polyfill" src="[/assets/polyfills-legacy-Dy8TY58j.js](https://piped.privacytools.click/assets/polyfills-legacy-Dy8TY58j.js)"></script> <script nomodule crossorigin id="vite-legacy-entry" data-src="/assets/index-legacy-CBELmnf5.js">System.import(document.getElementById('vite-legacy-entry').getAttribute('data-src'))</script>

LibreWolf Backend:

I know for a fact JavaScript is enabled on both browsers so I know that's not the problem, but I figured it was worth mentioning anyway.

Browser, and OS with Version.

Opera Developer 117.0.5383.0 & LibreWolf 133.0.3-1 on POP!.OS 22.04

Additional context

Would I have to host my own instance in order to get this to work again? I really hope not cause I don't know the first thing about self-hosting.

The crash is fixed with #3904.

The issue that age restricted videos are not playable has its cause in the NewPipeExtractor and likely impossible to fix, see TeamNewPipe/NewPipe#11382.
