YT-DL needs Search Paging feature

[thiagof]

Hi,

A paging feature, or even a offset, would be of great help when resuming youtube search downloads.

Because sometimes a bigger list does't complete (time out error stops the list download) and then you need to run the whole list again in order to continue the downloading.
It resumes great - thank you! - but the feature makes the search tool even more powerfull

The --playlist-start and --playlist-end options do already exist. Do they solve your problem?

In any case, for lists of less than 10000 items, it sounds the real problem here is youtube-dl being too slow when downloading playlist items.

Playlist offset sounds promising. Will try to confirm if it works on search.

About speed, their must be a way of using the Data API - if not already!

It doesn't work for youtube searchs, I'll have a look and add it.

We now do have paging for channels and some searches.
