Proposal:

{% load embed_video_tags %}
{% video object.video as my_video %}
    Video has been found.
{% empty %}
    Video doesn't exist.
{% endvideo %}

@yetty how would you recommend to implement it until v1.o realise?

The simpliest way is to get info in views. But it is supported only for Vimeo and SoundCloud backend. YouTube backend doesn't support it yet.

def my_view(...):
   ...
   video = detect_backend(url)
   try:
       video.get_info()
   except NotImplementedError:
       pass
   except VideoDoesntExistException: 
       # video doesnt exist
       video = None
   ...
