pytube.exceptions.VideoUnavailable on flagged but still accessible videos.

[Klakinoumi]

Using Pytube with a bunch of videos, i stumble accross a frustrating point where an error is raised because one of the videos I'm working with is flagged as inappropriate by Youtube users.

This one for instance :
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bDKSb76Tvds

is raising this error : "pytube.exceptions.VideoUnavailable: This video is unavailable."

Before I find a way to escape this kind of vids, is there something I'm missing ? Is this behaviour from Pytube intentional or is it a bug/mishap ?

Thanks.
And thanks for this neat lib.

Is there a graceful way to handle this when pulling a whole playlist using download_all? Otherwise, we abandon the entire playlist when we could only skip the one video.

Hey, for what is worth, the issue seems to be here.

That line seems to be checking for a substring in the html that doesn't seem to be present in age restricted videos (maybe it used to be), hence it raises a VideoUnavailable exception.

The substring being searched for is: <img class="icon meh" src="/yts/img
