i can do this:

remove Youtube_AgeGateBypassIE import from ytdlp_plugins/extractor/__init__.py
and replace import in ytdlp_plugins/extractor/Youtube_NsigProxy.py to this:

from ytdlp_plugins.extractor.Youtube_AgeGateBypass import Youtube_AgeGateBypassIE as YoutubeIE

and then... it's working as expected

[debug] yt-dlp version 2022.09.01 [5d7c7d656] (source)
[debug] Lazy loading extractors is disabled
[debug] Plugins: ['SamplePluginIE', 'Youtube_NsigProxyIE', 'SamplePluginPP']
[debug] Git HEAD: 22df97f9c
...skipped...
[debug] [youtube:NSIG+AGB] Extracting URL: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cr381pDsSsA

hm.. The plugin system wasn't really designed with this kind of use-case in mind. I will have to see what can be changed in yt-dlp to make this easier

Everything good with latest commit, except two small things

• small typo "Needs yt-dlp 2021.09.17 or above" => "Needs yt-dlp 2022.09.17 or above"
• nsig always use online solver, even if PREFER_SOLVER = False

@0xcc07c9 Thanks, fixed
