Most of the time when downloading a playlist fails its probably because one or multiple videos are not available or where removed, could you share the playlist link with for testing?

Okay, the issue is that failure does not display which link failed.
App should try to at least display Video details, and link, where you can open with browser or other app to make sure.

Did you have detailed output on?

I tried with detailed output, it just displays details while downloading.
But gives the same notification on failure.
So it does not show which link failed

Oh, yeah the app doesn't tell you the exact error through the notification, you need to open the app and the error is the first thing you'll see when you open it.

I opened the app and there is no error.
Seal has the link for each video, so it should be easy to display failed video, ask for retry download, or open with browser.
Currently even with more details no error message on which video failed
