Re: [YouTube-API] Re: Restricted playback videos

I'd search the archives, because this kind of question pops up quite a
lot.

IIRC (it's been a while since I looked) the VideoEntry often includes
some kind of restriction tag, the presence of it implies there are some
kind of exclusions.

I don't believe there's a way to do this perfectly though, just a lot of
heuristics. I think it's a commonly requested issue that's on their
backlog.

You could probably catch the majority of videos you're going to see by
checking what channel they belong to TBH.
