No output simply because there was no result to your query.

The query (what you type after '-q') is the same as what you type in the searchbox on youtube to find videos.

You can't type "23 min 07 sec yt vid" and expect youtube to spit something out. Try to type that into youtube (or google) and see how relevant the results are. This program is no less magical than google's search algorithms are (although they are pretty magical already).

Typing "27:07" also likely won't give you any results. Sometimes it will, but it's not a guarantee. Instead, try multiple queries with words that you think are likely to be in the video title.

You can try "27:07" first as some videos will have their duration already in the title, you can also try "27:06" as the duration in the title might be rounded differently, but if that doesn't work for you then you might need to get creative with search queries.

E.g try "be" "the" "at" "like" and other words commonly used in video titles.

@myrajurek @vanyamlb Thanks for your question
I improved the program output when no match to guide user on how to solve it
And added a flowchat on README.md

$ ./youtube-video-length.py -s 1387 -q "23 min 07 sec yt vid"
ERROR: No match with specified filter time. Try change -q, -m arguments, or use -l to list search results without filtering by time
