How to detect if an item ID is Content Deleted?

Better than sitting through hours of checking IDs on a music list that is over 500 audios long.

You can read errors using LogService actually.

I’m wrong on that then. But then I still wouldn’t use LogService. Is there a way exactly to coordinate the table of logs with a failed sound?

[SteadyOn]

Yeah, there is actually, I should’ve thought of this in my earlier answers. (Just noticed @General_Scripter’s answer which has it in it!)

Hey, I recently had this problem too with a music system I scripted which allowed requests. The best way I found was using LogService.MessageOut . I was then just able to search the error messages output which contained Sound %location% Failed to load %soundId%:

local sound = game:GetService(“Workspace”):WaitForChild(“Sound”)
local failString = “Sound “…sound:GetFullName()…” Failed to load”

game:GetService(“LogService”).MessageOut:Connect(function(msg,msgType)
if msgType == Enum.MessageType.MessageError then
if string.find(msg,failString,1,true) then
– Handle content deleted audio here.
end
end
end)

Hope this helps! It’s worked for me without any problems so far, but I fear that some audios fail to load for people on slow connections. Nonetheless, they would probably rather have smoother gameplay than have audio playing.

Thought my answer went unnoticed, I guess it kind of did until now.
