I notice some videos can't download since I tried to download a forged in fire episode and it won't download some videos it will download on their some won't. Otherwise its a great addon.

Here is the error:
An error occurred!
{"status":"error","text":"this youtube video is unavailable, it could be region or age restricted. try another one!"}

Also here is the video link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=de9FGmm-Wg0&t=311s

Am not sure why it won't downoload.

it clearly tells you why it can't be downloaded. this script uses the Cobalt API, which could not work. report this issue to the API developer: https://github.com/wukko/cobalt/issues

It seems to be hit-or-miss as far as downloading goes.
I wish the icon would change color when it knows it can't download.

Michael sure, but that would be an additional web request which can be expensive for the server downloading the video, so I'll just show a notification
