Playlists that require authentication may not extract correctly

[yoshakami]

I tried to get albums that are not listed upon running this command (because they are premium albums), but that are listed on yt music anyways (I have a premium subscription in the cookies) gytmdl -c "C:\yt.txt" https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCNats-h_Vr0pEh5OtZo6eVw first attempt was to put the playlist link to an album gytmdl -i 774 --cover-size 2048 -s -c "C:\yt.txt" https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n1rux8cx7zHxJc_OjD-b6WIUAgEUziQAE which outputs this:

second attempt was to use aria2c. same output, it uses ytdlp anyways. gytmdl -i 774 --download-mode aria2c --cover-size 2048 -s -c "C:\yt.txt" --aria2c-path "C:\aria2c.exe" https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n1rux8cx7zHxJc_OjD-b6WIUAgEUziQAE

this is weird. because if I try with ytdlp, it works (but without metadata in the files) ytdlp --cookies "C:\yt.txt" https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_n1rux8cx7zHxJc_OjD-b6WIUAgEUziQAE

which outputs this

upon further investigation, I found that the problem relies in the get_tags function : ytmusic_album["audioPlaylistId"] is None

here's a dump of ytmusic_album : data.json

(in case you're against downloading files)

Thanks for identifying the issue. I'll work in a fix for these cases.

I managed to get playlists link download working on my own fork, but it still doesn't list premium albums, and still can't download premium musics (only playlists for now)

[yoshakami]

and now I got premium musics working too

[yoshakami]

my fix basically relies on a workaround, since the user provided the playlist id : I saved it in the class attributes. there is no need to get it from the youtube music api (which returns the "None" string for premium albums)

[yoshakami]

I have no idea how to list premium albums and premium singles though if the user provides a channel link, premium content is hidden (that's the only issue that I can't fix)

[yoshakami]

found a way to list premium albums :) people need to run ytmusicapi oauth in the terminal. source: <https://ytmusicapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/setup/oauth.html>

[yoshakami]

now I need to find a way to download premium albums using a channel link since the premium api doesn't return the same dict with the same keys

I got it working completely on my fork. if you're okay with it, I'll be making a pull request with some new cli options

i got a better workaround, but thanks
