Quick release due to a couple of nasty bugs in the last version

Changelog:

  • [youtube:tab] Extract video duration early
  • [downloader] Pass info_dict to progress_hooks
  • [youtube] Fix age-gated videos for API clients when cookies are supplied by colethedj
  • [youtube] Disable get_video_info age-gate workaround - This endpoint seems to be completely dead
  • [youtube] Try all clients even if age-gated
  • [youtube] Fix subtitles only being extracted from the first client
  • [youtube] Simplify _get_text
  • [cookies] bugfix for microsoft edge on macOS
  • [cookies] Handle sqlite ImportError gracefully by mbway
  • [cookies] Handle errors when importing keyring

Youtube age-gate bypass is broken for non-embeddable videos unless logged-in cookies are given. You can provide cookies using either the --cookies or --cookies-from-browser options. There is currently no known way to circumvent the age-gate without authentication details. If you know any way to (or know any app that can) bypass the age-gate (without auth), let us know.
