Originally created by @SRLJustin on GitHub (Sep 25, 2013).

When downloading a large playlist (2600+ videos) the message 'WARNING: Max number of results reached' is displayed after "Downloading page #20" and only 900 videos will be downloaded. "[youtube:playlist] playlist 'Favorite videos': Collected 900 video ids (downloading 900 of them)"

I have tried the following switches
--max-downloads 2600
--playlist-start 901

root@debian:/# youtube-dl --version
2013.09.24.2

Could you post the link to the playlist? I need it to verify we can download all the entries, I added this warning because I read in the api docs that you can only fetch 1000 results, but it may just be for search queries.

@jaimeMF - http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=FLVV_ggd7J_6EIvMqylsvr5w - Ah right, I didn't know if that was just a youtube-dl limit or YouTube issue. Hope there is a way around this

We can't request more than 1000 videos from the youtube api.We would need to parse the playlist page.
But you can download all your favourites using youtube-dl :ytfav -u YOUR_USEREMAIL -p YOUR_PASSWORD, I have only tested it with less than 300 videos, but it should work.

@jaimeMF - Is there a way to grab the 1001-2000 songs from the playlist? (It's not my channel)

youtube-dl --playlist-start 1001 --playlist-end 2000 ' http://www.youtube.com/playlist?list={THE_PLAYLIST}.

I've noticed that we actually just get the playlist url when downloading the favourites, so it won't download more than 1000 videos.
