if a playlist has more than 50 videos then forget it, this it a worthless, useless piece of junk. Why anyone puts a limit on amount of vids in a playlist is beyond me. If there were no limit set by this it would be the best going. The fact the author decided to add 50 limit makes it a useless piece of junk i removed withing minutes of trying it out
