Deleted videos should be added to the ignore list

[samdoshi]

It would be nice if videos (from subscribed channels) that have been deleted don't show up again in the download queue. Perhaps they could be added to the ignore list automatically when they are deleted?

Yeah, we had a short conversation before about that. I was a bit hesitant, if that happens automatically, you won't be able to download it again, until you go to the ignored list and delete it from there. So that could be confusing, as any ignored videos will skip without any warning even if you add it explicitly.

But maybe there is a way how this could be done, so that it's obvious? Maybe as part of the delete confirmation? When you click on Delete Video you get Delete, Delete and ignore and cancel?

I think you've got four options:

1. Always add it to the ignore list
2. An option in the settings to "add deleted videos to the ignore list"
3. Your suggestion "Delete, Delete and ignore and cancel"
4. Similarly to your suggestion, when you click delete you get the options "Delete", "Cancel", but also a checkbox "Also add to ignore list". The state of the checkbox can be remembered between uses.

I think I would like the 2nd or 4th options.

I think with options 1 and 2, you just need to make sure that there is a message in the confirmation saying that the deleted video will be added to the ignore list as well, so that users know where to find it again.

I would like to suggest adding a flag to the video metadata so that that flag can be used to ignore/hide in the UI.

This is related, but I actually want to be able to view all videos I have that have been removed from YouTube (and check if there are any freshly removed videos)

Something like:removed = user_deleted|uploader_made_private|uploader_deleted

oh nice, looks like similar to my suggested blacklist feature last year
thumbs up for that 👍

please, let's stay on topic, this feature is about ignoring deleted videos from feature downloads. the approach here makes sense to me: #286 (comment)

somebody just needs to implement it.

I take it no one has implemented it then, having spent a few hours deleting downloads I don't want to keep, only to see them be downloaded again.

If TA had been written in C++, VB.Net, C# or Golang I'd have given it a go myself....

that's now shipped with v0.4.8, please update.
