Handling broken links

[archetyped]

Via archetyped/simple-lightbox-extensions#111

Description of feature/request

I think it would be useful if there was a function to deal with broken links. (For example, it displays something like "This video can't be displayed now" and ends automatically.)

If the video you link to doesn't exist anymore (broken link), it's not comfortable to just go round and round with loading screens.

Original text

リンク切れに対応する機能があると便利だと思います。（「この動画は現在表示できません」などの表示をして自動で終了するなど）

リンク先の動画がすでに存在していない場合（リンク切れ）、ぐるぐるとロード画面が続くだけ、というのは快適ではありません。

Handling broken links would be more of a core functionality, so I've moved the feature request here, where it can be discussed further.

• Is this something that should be handled by SLB, or should site owner's manage the links on their site?
• What should SLB do when it encounters a broken link? (e.g. simply close the lightbox, display an error message, etc.)
• Any other suggestions for handling broken links?

Please discuss below. If you would like to see this functionality developed, make sure to upvote this thread so that it can be prioritized.
