I feel quite out of place here, as I'm very very new to programming. I
think this is the right place to ask this question so here I go!

 I was developing a Youtube Application in Java, I thought i had the code
working fine i couldn't see any problems to why it wouldn't work but its
kept throwing this error when i ran the program on large queries:

java.io.IOException <http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=allinurl%3Aioexception+java.sun....>: Premature EOF

So after asking a lot of people why my program was doing this, i got very few answers but many people said to use the API, as before i was just using the direct youtube URL (which i was recently told is against their TOS).

But when I use the Youtube API's comment feed URL:

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/8aYQ_wjmxiQ/comments

it will only display about 25 comments of that video, I was wondering is there a way to access the all_comments part? and/or navigate through the Youtube Comment pages?

I hope I'm not missing something obvious. And im sorry if this sounds like a stupid question, I'm just new to programming s'all.

Thanks for your help! hopefully i can stop this darn error if i get this to work :).

So I read that YouTubes API has a limit of 50 results at a time but it's defaulted at 25 how can bypass this 50 result limit in java... This is very annoying.

bump?

On the left side menu are links to the guides where you can find the
information you ask: the parameters one can use. See:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/developers_guide_java
https://developers.google.com/youtube/2.0/reference

Anyway, use start-index to advance and max-results=50 like in:

http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/qszv3RFtN4o/comments?v=2&ma...<http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/api/videos/qszv3RFtN4o/comments?v=2&ma...>

There is also an upper limit (i think 1000).

Anyway to get past 1000? like i need all the comments on a video?
