Attempting to fetch stream for age restricted videos will error out. This is a known issue with ytdl-core

Temporary workaround is to not include age-restricted videos in youtube search results by using safeSearch: 'strict'. However, user can still encounter error by providing URL directly or queuing up playlist that contains age-restricted videos
