It’s working!

previewPlayabilityStatus is only available in an embed, so errorScreen would still be better as it works for both embed and non-embed.

With a little bit of debugging with the wonderful chrome devtools I found something:

On line 687: // Unlock #3: Embedded Player inital data structure else if (isEmbeddedPlayerObject(ytData) && isAgeRestricted(ytData.previewPlayabilityStatus)) {

on isAgeRestricted line 299: return !!playabilityStatus.desktopLegacyAgeGateReason || UNLOCKABLE_PLAYER_STATES.includes(playabilityStatus.status);

UNLOCKABLE_PLAYER_STATES doesn’t include the string UNPLAYABLE which is the string that my playabilityStatus field has in the yData

If I modify the script to add “UNPLAYABLE” to UNLOCKABLE_PLAYER_STATES it works.

I think your implementation is fine! I didn’t check if the same method existed on the embed, since I assumed they probably would be the same.

Therefore you may close this issue.

Yes I can confirm that link is present in the response.
