I'm using --abort-on-error to download my subscriptions, so I don't miss any video by mistake. The current logic makes it impossible to proceed downloading of the subscription list because of a planned stream that is not yet available for playback/download.

Since it can't be downloaded, youtube-dl aborts further operation. In my opinion such planned streams should not trigger this option and be ignored - it's up to a discussion though.

Proposal: If possible, detect if it's a planned stream and if so, do not abort the download even when the option is present.

Use -i instead.

-i ignores any error, the request is to ignore this specific error for planned streams.
