Describe the bug

hello, nonexistent videos show up in watch history.

steps to reproduce:

1. make sure you only have one window of freetube open
2. use freetube to play a youtube video
3. verify that the video is playing fine
4. refrain from navigating away from this video even after the video stopped
5. wait until the video concludes
6. refrain from navigating away from this video even after the video stopped
7. use a browser to verify that there's no video here: https://youtu.be/NONEXISTENT
8. use a terminal to issue this command: freetube https://youtu.be/NONEXISTENT
9. actual behaviour: verify that your previous video starts to play again. expected behaviour: no video should be playing
10. now you don't need to wait for the end of the video, click history in your freetube window
11. actual behaviour: the nonexistent video shows up in your watch history expected behaviour: the nonexistent video should not show up in your watch history
12. now redo all above steps with a private video, deleted video, etc to verify that the issue is present in those cases as well.

I selected "inconsitent behaviour" despite the fact that reproducible 100%. there was no "counterintuitive behavior" which would describe this bug better

[imre84]

I've seen it happening right now in case of an existing video when freetube for whatever reason wasn't able to download/play it
