- It works with public YouTube Music playlist URLs when the playlist is available through YouTube's public data. Private, deleted, or restricted videos may not be counted.
- Why are some videos not counted?
- Private, deleted, region-restricted, or otherwise unavailable videos may not return duration data. The result shows how many videos were skipped.
