The three kinds the player's own codes actually distinguish. No finer taxonomy than they
support — inventing one would be putting words in the player's mouth about a failure it

embed-blocked — the uploader disabled playback outside YouTube (101, 150). This is
the common one, and it covers a large fraction of the actual music on YouTube.
unavailable — there is no such video to play: removed, private, or never there (100).
unplayable — rejected for a reason the player did not narrow further (2, 5, and
anything new).
