_end of useful debug info_
The list is generated by youtube and has many videos, however the tool is only limited to downloading only the first 26.
the playlist is accessible through a browser only when a video url is included: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cka7fYhWj2E&index=1&list=RDi7lv9oMjv_0
Is there a way to get around the 26 videos limit?
I believe these lists are basically unlimited, however it would be nice to get let's say the first 1000 videos downloaded, or why not all of them until you fill your hdd
