public private is neither working Regarding: Yes these are not documented, but since it can be measured what is the availability as seen by the error message, I think those cases should be handled as well by the "availability" print option. |

Availability is not meant to detect unavailable videos, but to distinguish private vs public etc for videos that yt-dlp can process. From your examples, the private video can potentially be fixed (Related #9835), but others are out of scope |

Is there an option to add another tag then to distinguish unavailable videos since the error message already shows the needed information? It could be useful in the same way like private videos so you could check which videos cannot be downloaded and why. Just a suggestion not a necessity the "private" status in availability is the main issue which stopped working. |

Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood
According to the wiki:
availability (string): Whether the video is "private", "premium_only", "subscriber_only", "needs_auth", "unlisted" or "public"Well... so from my tests ("print" and "print-to-file") can only output:
Private, video unavailable, video unavailable due to copyright-infringement leaves empty. But in the console there is and "ERROR" message that the video is private or unavailable. Simply "availability" switch for "print" and "print-to-file" does not print anything.
yt-dlp --print availability output.txt --skip-download -vU
yt-dlp --print-to-file availability output.txt --skip-download -vU
links tested:
public: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vCwLB8TzFBQ (prints correctly: public)
unlisted: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_DfaprsHQZU (prints correctly: unlisted)
not available: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EaaXBJr7fkY (prints nothing, only error in the console)
not available - copyright infringement: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=glMGukgviGY (prints nothing, only error in the console)
private: https://youtube.com/watch?v=pWRVE8P9npM (prints nothing, only error in the console)
age-gated: https://youtube.com/watch?v=HtVdAasjOgU (prints correctly: needs_auth)
I suppose for the videos I have given it should print out the availability to the output file (with the "print-to-file" or to the console with "print").
So the result should be for 6 videos:
public
unlisted
video_not_available
video_not_available_copyright
private
needs_auth
and there is only:
public
unlisted
needs_auth
Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem
yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)'verbose': TruetoYoutubeDLparams instead[debug] Command-line config) and insert it belowComplete Verbose Output
