In response to your question, no there is no difference between a deleted channel and one that doesn't exist. IMO it's better to error out and tell the user that the channel cannot be found rather than hide the issue.
One interesting thing though is that the script's error was supposed to say "Cannot find channel with id
Fixed the error handling for this in the newest release, let me know if you still have concerns about anything
This channel has been deleted due to copyright issues: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCntTdnZ7jIGvsii78t-UClg
It was in my sheet and since then, that row stopped updating and the debug output is always:
YouTube channel search returned invalid response for channel with id UCntTdnZ7jIGvsii78t-UClg
Is this differentiable from a channel that never existed (because the user just inserted the wrong text)? If no, should this be fixed? That would mean hiding the issue, so the user might not notice that they're not getting new videos from whatever they're actually tried to insert into the sheet.
