My request has already been requested, or a very similar one, at least: #11181
I have a youtube playlist (liked videos) containing over 1200 videos. I continuously download and convert this playlist. It's 12 pages long now, and gathering the data from 12 pages every time, takes quite a while, and because I already know the "new" videos aren't more than a page, I would like for my search for new videos (not already in my downloaded.txt download archive), to only look for videos on the first, or specified amount of pages.

This is a quality of life request, and I know it's not vital, but it would be a brilliant addition.

Thanks

                                 1-3,7,10-13", it will download the videos
                                 at index 1, 2, 3, 7, 10, 11, 12 and 13.

Hi Sergey, Terribly sorry. I had looked for the option, and when I saw this other issue on open, I thought it had not been implemented. Forgive my ignorance.
