It's a button and next to it I can cancel
we have finally been able to verify this problem. I'm not entirely sure what is going on right now, our best guess is that google has changed what cookies they are requiring.
We tried to confirm with curl, but that doesn't work either. And google doesn't give us any error messages at all.
PHP Code:
$ curl -b "LOGIN_INFO=edab65c4f02386d2954a1b2acdbba7e8c3YAAAB7IjEiOiAxLCAiMyI6IDYzMjc2MzE2MywgIjIiOiAib2hteWduaHZDTGU5elptRFV6d0dTQT09IiwgIjQiOiAiR0FJQSIsICI3IjogMTMwNDExOTM5NywgIjYiOiBmYWxzZSwgIjgiOiA5MzY2MjI2NjQ5Nzl9" "http://www.youtube.com/verify_age?next_url=http%3A//www.youtube.com/watch%3Fv%3DMaBjiMu770Y%26safeSearch%3Dnone%26hl%3Den_us&action_confirm=1"
curl: (52) Empty reply from server
What we get from python is even more useless than this reply.
I have an idea or two i'm going to test out, but for now i really don't feel comfortable giving a timeframe for when this can be solved. I will try a few things on the morrow, and if i get anything usable i'll post an alpha-beta.
As a work around, for me at least, once i have confirmed my age(just once) in my browser, i never have to confirm it again. This is not how i remember YouTube operating half a year ago, but in the last month i haven't seen an age request once.
