Warning: YouTube Vids Not Necessarily Dead

I just found a wonderful new problem with YouTube's vids.

Before this latest player update, if you were to load a YouTube embed on a page without playing it for 10-15 minutes or so, once you finally did play it, it would just hang. Don't know why this is; Google seems to be capable of fixing such things and no other video hosts have the problem, but so be it.

Now, instead of just hanging when you try to play a video that's been loaded but unplayed for a while, the video just displays "We're sorry, this video is no longer available." Not only is it a run-on (two complete sentences, but joined together by a comma), but it makes you think the video is dead.

This misleading message might lead to invalid *dead invocations (I just did it), so please keep this in mind.

Thanks.
