I think you're looking for the --ignore-errors option (-i in the short form). I consider this a non-issue, unless you have additional comments, so I'm closing it. |

Totally right, it's my bad. Sorry about that. |

When processing a playlist, there are a variety of reasons why a video might not be accessible: it might be deleted on its own, the whole user account might be removed or can be restricted to a geographic region. Currently the user is left with breaking download in this case and cannot do anything else but getting each video manually.
Case to the point: not being in England, the third video in list 404s out, breaking the download

What would be the right way to handle this situation?
I'm thinking about adding an extra option, like --skip-missing to ignore download errors for playlists and just skip those files. I started on it, just got a bit lost on the multiple level error handling. Before I go any deeper wanted to see what's the view on this.
