Google Data API affected: YouTube Enhancement: Please add additional options for the format parameter. The current format=5 parameter lets me exclude videos that can't be played, but doesn't differentiate between videos that have embedding disabled versus videos that are unavailable due to terms of service violations. I want to handle these in very different ways. In addition to excluding videos unavailable due to terms of service violations, I'd like to be able to retrieve only the videos that are unavailable due to terms of service violations. (This would help users clean up their playlists and favorites.) What is the expected output? What do you see instead? I want to be able to retrieve separate feeds from playlists, favorites, etc. that meet the following criteria: 1) all videos 2) all videos EXCEPT those unavailable because of embedding disabled OR because of terms of service violations 3) all videos EXCEPT those unavailable due to terms of service violations 4) all videos that ARE unavailable due to terms of service violations Note: because the YouTube API doesn't differentiate between unavailable videos and embedding disabled videos, users receive the same error message for both cases: "We're sorry, this video is no longer available." The error message is very confusing in cases where the only problem is that the user doesn't allow embedding. Thanks, Kevin www.theBestArts.com |

Currently you can tell which videos have embedding disabled by looking for the <yt:noembed/> tag inside of a video entry. Would it suit your purposes if in an authenticated playlist for a video that has been taken down had a similar extra bit of markup inside of it? |

For V2 you should see deleted items if you are authenticated, this will allow users to remove them from playlists, etc.
