Problem Description

When there is a video that for some reason cant be played in FT (eg. Members only, youth protection or some kind of technical error like cypher error) the playlist stops or repeats the last video before the error occured endlessly.

Proposed Solution

Allow automatic skipping of unplayable videos in playlists, no matter why they are not playable with FT.

This setting would be helpful as setting in the settings section.

Alternatives Considered

Allernatively automatic error skipping should be offered in the playback page.

no matter why they are not playable with FT.

We wont skip regardless of the error but what we can do is skip on certain cases. Like mentioned before, Members only or Private videos

Useful for testing https://github.com/FreeTubeApp/FreeTube/issues/7488#issuecomment-2933755608

It would also be nice if it skipped already watched videos on the playlist as well, or a toggle to enable that behavior.

I'm regularly getting quite a few Members Only videos (nearly every day). Will there ever be a way to exclude them from my subscriptions? Thanks.
