Show errors in the web interface #143

There are many cases which happen frequently during normal use where yt-dlp gives an error. (e.g. age restricted video, already recorded in archive, TikToks with so many hashtags that it exceeds the maximum length for file names, characters in the name that are illegal in file names, etc.) So it would be extremely helpful if any errors yt-dlp gives are forwarded to the webinterface instead of just saying "Server got itself in trouble". Oh and it seems like not even in the logs you can see those error messages.

Yes, I agree it would be a useful addition.
