Package: libquvi7 Version: 0.4.1-3 Severity: normal libquvi fails to download videos from Youtube that are subject to age restriction. For example, using the cclive(1) frontend:
$ cclive "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W6JhcjbWEwg" Checking ... ...... ....... libquvi: error: /usr/share/libquvi-scripts/lua/website/youtube.lua:112: Sign in to confirm your age (code=150) (This video is of an interview of one journalist by another. Not being able to see it, I don't know what aspect it has that would cause Youtube to age-restrict it. My guess is that it's a reality-is-NSFW deal.) libquvi ought to work around the age gate. It should not impose this censorship on its users. I found a discussion of the same issue being addressed in some other code at <https://github.com/fent/node-ytdl-core/issues/19>. Maybe the fix they used can be adopted. -zefram
