As title says, the show unavailable videos param is hardcoded in YoutubePlaylistExtractor, and I don't see a way to override this or preferably see if the item is unavailable from StreamInfoItem

Research direction
Start by reading YoutubePlaylistExtractor to locate the hardcoded unavailable-video parameter, then inspect StreamInfoItem to understand what metadata it currently exposes. Decide whether the completed behavior should make the parameter configurable or expose an unavailable status, and verify that playlist items provide the selected information consistently.
