Skips age restricted videos

[Raven-Singularity]

Several of the songs in my playlist are age-restricted, and your randomizer skips over these videos entirely. I am logged into an adult account, but it doesn't use these credentials.

If you could add support for age-restricted videos, that would be wonderful! Either way, thanks for a great product. The only playlist shuffler I have found that is currently functioning at all. All the shufflers I have used previously have died over the past year.

Yup. I noticed it when manually clicking on a video in the list, and it would just silently go to the next video. I could copy the video URL and open it directly, but it would not play it from the playlist.

Hmm... I just looked into this issue further, and it seems that YouTube started blocking the ability to playback Age Restricted Videos from embeds -- even when the user is already logged into an adult YouTube account! That's really ridiculous, in my opinion. There's no reason for them to not use the logged in account credentials, just because you're viewing a video from another domain.

So it seems that there is no way that the playlistShuffle web site can even fix this issue, it's on YouTube's end. Blah. Google keeps making YouTube worse and worse.
