Re: Playing YouTube Videos in FooYouTube That are Age-Restricted
Hi there,
@1: although downloading through youtube-dl should work, if you don't want to do it (for example because you want to just watch a movie without downloading the whole stuff), I recommend FreeTube:
https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube
The app has a slightly broader use, being a full-fledged private YouTube client, but if you simply put in the search field the url of the desired video, it will load directly.
FreeTube is an Electron app, after opening a link, you can find the video player by pressing M on Linux with Orca, Windows screenreaders most likely have either the same or similar shortcut.
It works very nicely, after switching to focus mode, you can navigate by arrow keys, stop the video with space etc.
You can even download it if you want, although I don't use this function personally because oggs are not supported.
The playing works very well, I use to watch documentary series describing various real criminal cases, which are often restricted and I don't want to log in if I don't have to.
Plus, Google is becoming more and more annoying with the ways of verifying your age, they've recently even started requiring a copy of your ID in order to be able to watch 18+ content. So much for privacy.
Best regards
Rastislav
