Description

Since this morning, youtube-dl don't give anymore the reason why the videos were removed or unavailable

For the sample of the log, instead of :

ERROR: BHuW1XMEyEI: YouTube said: This video has been removed for violating YouTube's Terms of Service.
Sorry about that.

youtube-dl give :

ERROR: BHuW1XMEyEI: YouTube said: Unable to extract video data

This information exist as it is displayed by the browser.

Many thanks for solving this.
