[Bug]: Play age-restricted videos with the linked YouTube session #290

Description

@Priveetee

What happened?

After connecting a Google account that can watch age-restricted videos on YouTube, TypeType still fails to load an age-restricted video with that account.

Test video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VaLOc1FpSo

A linked account should allow TypeType to retrieve and play videos that are unavailable anonymously but accessible to that account. Non-restricted videos should preferably continue without requiring the account, or this behavior should be configurable.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Connect a Google account through the TypeType YouTube login flow.
  2. Confirm that the same account can play https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2VaLOc1FpSo directly on YouTube.
  3. Open the video through TypeType.
  4. TypeType fails to provide a playable age-restricted stream.

Anything else?

Provider: YouTube. This is distinct from issue #250, which tracks failures in the remote login flow itself. The reported account was successfully connected but playback still failed.
