Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

So we've got a playlist with some removed videos in it - "normal youtube user experience".

youtube-dl quits with an error message: "ERROR: This video is unavailable." this is not a problem - though it could help the users to use -i to not quit. (Actually that could be the default setting but that's not the scope here.)

The problem is, that youtube-dl scares the user to submit a bug:

[youtube] Nxqd7y78h7Q: Downloading video info webpage

So the only BUG is that the program should check for the "ERROR: This video is unavailable" before telling people "this is a bug please file a bug!".

Actually https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/16510 is the very nice example, that your program asks your users to submit bugs, then later you close it as not a bug, but this was all unnecessary, if the bugfiling would be not printed when the playlist contains a missing video (actually this playlist contains a removed and at least one "private" marked video, so it's nice to test with.)

(Actually that could be the default setting but that's not the scope here.) The problem is, that youtube-dl scares the user to submit a bug: [youtube] Nxqd7y78h7Q: Downloading video info webpage WARNING: Unable to extract video title [youtube] Nxqd7y78h7Q: Extracting video information WARNING: unable to extract uploader name WARNING: unable to extract uploader nickname WARNING: unable to extract video duration; please report this issue on https://yt-dl.org/bug . Make sure you are using the latest version; see https://yt-dl.org/update on how to update. Be sure to call youtube-dl with the --verbose flag and include its complete output. So the only BUG is that the program should check for the "ERROR: This video is unavailable" before telling people "this is a bug please file a bug!". Actually https://github.com/rg3/youtube-dl/issues/16510 is the very nice example, that your program asks your users to submit bugs, then later you close it as not a bug, but this was all unnecessary, if the bugfiling would be not printed when the playlist contains a missing video (actually this playlist contains a removed and at least one "private" marked video, so it's nice to test with.)

FYI: For a later try youtube gave a different response (the video might contain music maybe)
