We can't get more that 1000 items using the api (api documentation), some lists (as reported in #1503) greatly surpass this limit. Switching to parsing the playlist page would solve this, but of course requires more work than using the api.

Maybe you could check how much you can get via api and if it's >1,000 parse the playlist page, otherwise parse API instead of always querying the playlist page?

@Nothing4You Might as well use the parser once written, instead of having 2 pieces of code that essentially does the same thing. Minus the fact that the newer implementation will be able to get more then 1000 results.

As reported in #1757 there's one more reason for using the playlist page: private playlists.
