[BUG] pytube.exceptions.VideoUnavailable

[Nathan1258]

Describe the bug Occurs when a video on YouTube is not available to download/view. I am catching the exception:

try: yt = YouTube(link) except VideoUnavailable:

However it still throws as an error at runtime which crashes the program.

To Reproduce Downloading a video that is not available on YouTube (https://youtu.be/itBUkytySOg) for example. Even if you try to catch the exception, it does not work.

Expected behavior The program should catch the exception and dismiss it to allow it to give feedback that the video was not available.

Output Traceback (most recent call last): File "/Users/nathan/OneDrive/Projects/YTVideoDownloader.py", line 58, in <module> main() File "/Users/nathan/OneDrive/Projects/YTVideoDownloader.py", line 36, in main yt.streams.filter(file_extension='mp4').first().download() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pytube/__main__.py", line 291, in streams self.check_availability() File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.9/lib/python3.9/site-packages/pytube/__main__.py", line 227, in check_availability raise exceptions.VideoUnavailable(video_id=self.video_id) pytube.exceptions.VideoUnavailable: itBUkytySOg is unavailable
