I had this happen recently with Freetube and the, very strangely, age restricted new trailer for a Darktide update. Hope the big brains figure out a work around. Even invidious fallback wouldn’t play it.

Both newpipe and libretube stopped working for me. I’m now using grayjay
Newpipe hasn’t stopped working… If it errors, just close the video and refresh your VPN
YouTube ReVanced still works phenomenally.
Weird, since yesterday revanced doesn’t seem to work anymore for me so I went back to newpipe.
Sometimes requires a re-patch to the newest APK they support
Mine stopped working yesterday too, it just needs an updated patch version. There is a new version of the revanced manager that I think requires a manual download/update first and then the youtube apk version to apply the patches on is 19.43.41
I tried patching it yesterday, nothing changed but today I got an update on revanced and the suggested youtube version has also changed. After patching with the 19.43.41 version it seems to be working again.
Settings > ReVanced > Misc > turn off Spoof client to iOS.
This is weird… Where did you get your APK? From F-Droid or their website? The F-Droid version is always one or two versions behind the main repo.
Try updating to the latest version via their website/GitHub.
I get it from fdroid. I might follow your advice and get it from github. I thought fdroid follows GitHub
Edit: maybe I will use accrescent instead of fdroid from now on
Revanced extended still works for me as well
I use a fork called Bravenewpipe. It adds filters and Sponsorblock. It’s brilliant!
https://github.com/bravenewpipe/NewPipeupdates with Obtainium (Get Android app updates directly from the source) https://f-droid.org/packages/dev.imranr.obtainium.fdroid/
Use obtatanium on fdriod, you can pick latest apk that way
Add the newpipe repository to fdroid for faster updates
Or use a fdroid client like droid-ify where the newpipe repository can enabled with just a toggle and not a somewhat difficult to find url
I’m using a fork called pipepipe. It has worked pretty well for me so far and has some extra features including sponsorblock
I’ve been using a fork called Tubular too. When I meant newpipe, I referred to tubular as well
+1 for PipePipe! I love it and it Just Works®. Quick updates too.
I don’t get it. How do you think age-restricted videos could work without logging in?
I try to use YT as little as possible these days. Used to stream a lot of indie music, not talking indie radio guitarists no I mean the REAL indie basement dwellers, but since YT took away play-all buttons I moved to SoundCloud. Just type in a song you know in the genre you want and let it autoplay.
If you dig indie music from basement dwellers check out funkwhale sometime, we are building the fediverse version of grooveshark.
Well the first roadbump you’ll run into is that I’ve never heard of grooveshark. Power to you, those on the Fediverse who persevere will benefit immensely during these early adoption years.
Well darn, guess I should have said Spotify. Grooveshark predated Spotify and was centralized but allowed uploading and sharing.
Soulseek is another a great place for sharing and talking about music, its one of the oldest p2p network that’s still active.
Might be internet generational. I’ve never had a spotify account, but I lived on Grooveshark back in the day
It happens on Youtube Music on the web also.
I don’t sign in on my work computer because last time I paid for food my Google account hijacked my chrome browser.
So now I simply can’t listen to whole albums because some songs are age restricted
It’s been a while since I used chrome, but I used to use incognito to avoid that from happening. You can log into your services in the incognito session and when you’re done and close the incognito session, the temporary folder with your session stuff will get deleted, leaving the normal chrome browser unaffected.

OP is a screenshot from newpipe, they are very rigid on adding those things, that’s why you need to download other forks to get sponsorblock for example.
Have you tried Grayjay? Grayjay gets updates quickly and so I rarely see the issue.
I think greyjay is the best YouTube app. I gave up on Newpipe the moment Firefox for Android reenabled extension support. I didn’t like the fact that Newpipe needed a fork just for Sponsor block support.
Well, with newpipes forks are possible in order to implement controversial features, with Grayjay they are unlikely because of its non-open-source license.
At least its plugins, which are what needs to be regularly updated as platforms change, are open source. I imagine someone will clean-room reverse-engineer the core app and make an open source one that uses the plugins.
Also, Louis Rossmann said they only reserve the right to go after forks to prevent a situation like all the shady ad-ridden NewPipe ones flooding Google Play Store.

Reverse-Engineering and reimplementing something is a lot of work, especially if it is a moving target that is still actively developed. I don’t expect anyone to do it.

That is some kind of hand wavy reasoning that might come from someone that could be sponsored by them. Louis should do better than taking any company by their word and promises. And spreading FUD about NewPipe (and by extension all of Open Source software) is also a straw man argument. An untrustworthy software repository is not a argument against the open source software application, but against the software repository and their maintainers.
If you are concerned with that, you should stop using Google Play store.
The same way porn sites have worked since the 90s. Honor system.
Just FYI. Grayjay is only source available, but not open source like newpipe and its forks.
9xbuddy works fine to download age-restricted videos. It’s probably not FOSS, though.
youtube-dl won’t even download them now.
You can, if you pass cookies from your browser to the command line. The easiest way is to specify your browser, e.g.
yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser firefoxI don’t have an account so that probably won’t work. Thanks though!
Since when?
Oh that is a bad development
We need a newer pipe
Nintendo NEW Nintendo Newpipe
new new pipe
Nude pipe?
I mean, that’s just a penis 🤷

“God dammit Jian Yang!”
Hahaha this got me good, just finished watching Silicon Valley.
What would you say if I told you, there is an app on the market-
WE’RE PAST THAT
Classic actions of a horrible company doing horrible things.
“It’s for the safety of the children”
I’m still mad at them for disabling the “add to watch later” button on video marked as “for kids”.
YouTube soon to update terms of service to include “We must secure the existence of ads and a future for youtube-watching children”
Is it possible to connect google account via newpipe and watch it?
What’s the video? Curious is piped has the same issue
In this case it was an updated version (even though I specifically searched for the original, but that’s a seperate issue) of Michael Jackson’s They Don’t Care About Us video with some graphic images of war and starvation.
I think it’s like this with all age-gated videos, though 😮💨
Yeah, looks like piped has the same issue
