Media inaccesible could be due to multiple reason like renaming of media, deleting media or unmounting partition/device which is kind of deletion of media for my computer.

@Ashish, I think the error property of the video element covers most types of errors. I myself have some codecs missing and I'm able to view this message. 
@Thomas, yes, so I can write specific error messages for specific cases. But do you want this type of interface in the first place ? I want the user to see this page only when he double clicks the media from the playlist. Otherwise, I would like to change the opacity property to notify the user. 
Would love some help on the implementation part of the same :)
