Affected version

0.28.1

Steps to reproduce the bug

1. Open latest patch Revanced (reproduction on previous versions also).
2. Locate a video that is flagged as "inappropriate for some users" (this normally prompts for login).
3. From Revanced, attempt download action. (Revanced supports external api downloads, in this case select Newpipe).
4. Although the download action in Revanced is conducted from a live page, Newpipe action fails with "unsupported url" error.

Expected behavior

Download action completes as normal. This only affects videos with this inappropriate flag, which otherwise prompts the user for login.

Actual behavior

An error toast pops up informing the user "unsupported url" before returning to Revanced. After using the URL directly from Revanced "share" function in a browser that is not logged into YouTube, it is clear the URL provided is landing Newpipe on a non video page ("please login" prompt)

Since this relates to integration with a 3rd party app, it's not really our responsibility to fix it. Unless you can prove that this is actually a bug in NewPipe that prevents you from downloading a video, we are not obligated to fix it.

If you could do some more research to show what is said "unsupported url" and also give the url of the "inappropriate video", that would be great.

However, you should know that NewPipe does not have functionality to view or download age restricted videos, and if that video is age restricted then newpipe can't download it and you should use yt-dlp or something else.
