Solution to all problems related to Age Restricted 2024 and also bypasses The 'datastreaming' error.

[LutziGoz]

Solution to all problems related to Age Restricted 2024 and also bypasses The 'datastreaming' error.

(If it downloads video without sound, can download them separately and then merge them with the 'Moviepy' library)>
Here is a solution after brainstorming:

In main.py File I just combined all the clients by string.
This way it will be able to download with an adjusted resolution and data stream and also bypasses The 'datastreaming' error.

Get the result that needs to be changed
The function "def bypass_age_gate(self):"
Change it all as follows:
