(lemmy.zip)
1. Posts must be related to the discussion of digital piracy
2. Don't request invites, trade, sell, or self-promote
3. Don't request or link to specific pirated titles, including DMs

You can get all the IDs using yt-dlp
yt-dlp --flat-playlist --print id <playlist>
Assuming you're on linux, you can add
>> ids_all.txt
at the end to save the list to a file.You can also add
--compat-options no-youtube-unavailable-videos
to get only the list of available videos instead and then, again assuming you're on linux, do
diff ids_all.txt ids_available.txt
to get the odd ones out. That's the simplest I could come up with. You'll have to hope you can use the wayback machine, or a good old exact search to turn up what video that ID actually referred to

also work on the latest version of Powershell, so all of your instructions should work on both Linux and Windows.Ah, nice! I tried to avoid powershell while on windows, so don't know much about it.
