Description of your issue, suggested solution and other information

When listing the ID of videos in a playlist with either the --playlist-start or the --playlist-items option youtube-dl gives me the wrong videos.
I have a long playlist with 3003 items (watch later playlist) and i wanted to get all the videos ID's. I used the --get-id, --ignore-errors, -s and -u options. I stopped at video 2472 then i later tryed to continue the process with the --playlist-start option; i noticed youtube-dl gives me the wrong videos (same with the --playlist-items option). I know because I have verified basing me on the incomplete list with the 2472 ID's.
Examples (tested examples):
--playlist-start or --playlist-items 1000: gives me video 1013
--playlist-start or --playlist-items 2000: gives me video 1027
--playlist-start or --playlist-items 2300: gives me video 2330
--playlist-start or --playlist-items 2400: gives me video 2431
--playlist-start or --playlist-items 3003: gives me video 3002
--playlist-start or --playlist-items 3004(playlist has 3003 videos): gives me video 838

Although i don't know for sure, i think this problem originates from the --playlist-start and --playlist-items (and maybe --playlist-end) options and expands over all of the --get options (and some other options).
