Description

Version

v6.3.6

Platform

.NET 6.0 / Windows 10

Steps to reproduce

youtube.Playlists.GetVideosAsync("https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI_eFW8NAFzYAXZ5DrU6E6mQ_XfhaLBUX")

Details

GetVideosAsync only returns the first ~900 videos from https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLI_eFW8NAFzYAXZ5DrU6E6mQ_XfhaLBUX. The official api returns ~4500 videos of which about 500 are duplicates.

Research direction

Start by reproducing the supplied playlist case through Playlists.GetVideosAsync and inspect how that entry point retrieves subsequent pages. Compare its result with the official API response; done means the playlist is no longer truncated around 900 videos and the reported duplicate behavior is addressed.
