Discord.py ytdl doesn't play age-restricted videos

Viewed 904

I made a discord.py music bot that uses youtube_dl to play audio from youtube. But when I'm trying to play the age-restricted video it gives me an error:

An error occurred: Command raised an exception: DownloadError: ERROR: Sign in to confirm your age This video may be inappropriate for some users.

Is there any solution?

You have to specify your username and password to download age restricted videos via command line:

youtube-dl -u "<your_yt_login_name>" -p "<your_yt_password>" url

In the embedded version of yt-dl you have to specify these options in the options dictionary. The parameters are called "username" and "password" respectively.
