Issues in downloading some videos

[bpiyush]

Dear authors,

Great work!

While downloading the videos, I saw that some videos fail to download because they are age-restricted. Do you have a workaround for this?

pytube.exceptions.AgeRestrictedError: _a2GpAq8q8g is age restricted, and can't be accessed without logging in.

Thanks!

Thanks for your positive feedback!

Regarding the restricted videos issue, we're aware of it. Some of the videos we initially collected later acquired restrictions, making them inaccessible without logging in. We are actively working on updating the dataset by filtering out videos that are no longer usable due to age restrictions, deletions, or changes in privacy settings.

Hi, is there any update this ?
python download_video.py --MODE 'train'

results in a urllib.error.HTTPError: HTTP Error 400: Bad Request error which seem to be related to the age restriction problem.

Fix: Anyone having this issue should manually update their pytube code. check here:

@soroushseifi Thank you for the feedback, the codebase is just updated by setting up and importing the local pytube. It should work now.
