Describe the Bug

Some videos and channels doesn't load and returns an error 500.

A weird case for the channels is that it can sometimes load when clicking on links from search or on the channel link from a video page.
For a video, it doesn't load at all.

Steps to Reproduce the Bug

For a video:

  1. Go to Yakuza 0 - Majima Trailer | PS4
  2. See the error

For a channel:

  1. Go to Deebeegeek channel
    It might requires a few page reload.
  2. See the error

Expected Behaviour

Shows the video or channel page.

Could this be related to #2740?

Looks like it happens specifically on age restricted videos

commented

There are two issues here:

  • Channels are unreliable at the moment, because YouTube changed some things
    • Fix is coming sometime soon
  • Age restricted videos can sometimes not be played
    • I added a message if a video is age-restricted: #2847
