item is null on player.getPlaybackState() when currently_playing_type is "episode"

[ghost]

I'm trying to execute this on console:

const searchResults = await window.spotifysdk.player.getPlaybackState();
console.log(searchResults);

But the item property on the returning object is null when I am listening to a podcast (currently_playing_type == "episode"). When I am listening to a song, it works just fine. Can the information about podcasts be added?

Its raw spotify sdk not me who controls it here's some example anyway sorry for not replying due to school

data = await spotifysdk.player.getPlaybackState("ES","track,episode")
if(data.currently_playing_type == "episode"){
        songname.innerText = "Currently playing " + data.item.name + " from " + data.item.show.name + " by " + data.item.show.publisher
        window.spotify.media.currentchangingsliders = false
        image[0].src = data.item.images[1].url

    } else {
        songname.innerText = "Currently playing " + data.item.name + " from " + data.item.album.name + " by " + artistname.slice(0, -2)
        window.spotify.media.currentchangingsliders = false
        image[0].src = data.item.album.images[1].url
    }

Sorry, I'm no longer using this plugin. I'm now using the Spotify Link plugin, which is working better for my use case. Gonna close the issue. Thanks for the support!
