if u want there is a workaround I use that doesn't require changes to the dependent library:

In structs/Song.ts at line 32:18, replace:

songInfo = await video_basic_info(url);

return new this({
    url: songInfo.video_details.url,
    title: songInfo.video_details.title,
    duration: parseInt(songInfo.video_details.durationInSec)
});

with:

try {
    songInfo = await video_basic_info(url);

    return new this({
        url: songInfo.video_details.url,
        title: songInfo.video_details.title,
        duration: parseInt(songInfo.video_details.durationInSec)
    });
} catch (error) {
    return new this({
        url: url,
        title: error as string,
        duration: -1
    });
}

there is a downside, you wont display any info about the song in the discrod
