## YouTube videos deleted / private (3)

These return 404 on YouTube. The site embeds them, so each will render an empty player.

## YouTube videos that exist but block embedding (2)

The watch page loads, but the owner disabled embedding — the on-page player shows "Video unavailable". Link out instead of embedding, or swap the video.

## Malformed URLs — extraction bug, fixable (5)

These are written into the HTML as `&pid=`, so the browser requests a literal `&pid=` and jigsawplanet returns 400. Decoding to a single `&` returns 200 — the puzzles are fine, the markup is not. `&` appears **34 times across 7 files**; a global `&` → `&` replace fixes them all.
