Describe the bug
I wanted to use zoomdl as part of a bash script I am writing for myself to download videos to a ramdisk and upload it directly to my cloud storage. However, I discovered that even if something fails, zoomdl will only print out error messages to the console but not set an exit status so my script can react properly. Zoomdl will report successful completion to the shell in any case.
To Reproduce
Use a bad/expired zoom recording link
Zoomdl will report something like "[ERROR] Video not found in page. Is it login-protected?" in the shell
The shell will report that zoomdl terminated successfully with exit code 0 and await your input again
So if you want to do some error handling as part of a larger script, you're out of luck
Expected behavior
Zoomdl is distributed as an executable (not just a raw python script) and thus meant to be run in a shell, so it should also report standard shell exit codes.

OS: macOS Big Sur 11.6
Python Version: homebrew python@3.9 (3.9.13)
Additional context (opt)
I want this line to work as intended in my shell script:
${script_dir}/zoomdl -u "$url" -f "$filename" || continue
If zoomdl encounters an error, it should return a non-zero exit code to the shell such that the continue statement is executed and skips the rest of the loop this line is contained in.
