YouTube Videos: Broken Links

WyrmSlayer 16 years, 5 months ago at Nov 19 23:30 -
Hey Tom,
I've come across several youtube videos that have been uploaded by users but have been taken down by Youtube Staff. (i.e. Broken Links)

Can you please do something about this? Maybe there is some feature that checks if youtube links still work and if not takes them off. Or maybe add this as a Reason on the (X) Report dropdown menu.

Thanks!

I've made some changes which will automatically remove any deleted video when clicked.

I will also be looping through videos to remove deleted ones.

I like how it works now, except for two suggestions:

1. If they click on it and it says video no longer exists, please add link back to parent item. Right now, you rely on people to use the BACK arrow, and when they do, the video still shows up (coz its in browser cache), causing confusion. By having link to take them back to parent, it should update with that video no longer visible on item page.

2. Any way to send an automated msg to user who posted the video (which can be turned on or off by user settings if it bothers some). For me, i'd like to keep track of which videos get deleted, so i can add new one and fix up some of my relevant links in my lists (like Disney short video, game trailers, IMDB Top250 movie trailers, etc...)
