I notice several closed, and am really just doing as told by the errors, this was found in a playlist, and will stop without the --ignore-errors (which I have started putting in my config file because of the number of times I have seen the same error recently).

Perhaps a way to recognize and totally ignore such videos, especially on youtube, that seems to be the only place I have seen them that has a list capability.

Please move on to #359 for further discussions. All other issues are closed because they are duplicates.

am really just doing as told by the errors

Indeed a better message is necessary
