saving playlists with save cmd results in error

[vivCoding]

Cannot save playlists using the save command.

I realize that playlists are auto saved everytime a song is added to a playlist using add <num> <playlist>. However, using add <num> to the current playlist OR removing a song using rm <num> does not auto save the playlist. And when one attempts to using the save command to save it, it fails. Perhaps I am failing to understand how the command work.

Issue

Using save or save <name> command results in the following error (the empty quotes intentional)

Error fetching data. Possible network issue.
''

Steps to reproduce

No playlists have been created

• Start yt
• Search for song /query
• add <num> <playlist>
• open <playlist> (set the the current playlist to <playlist>)
• Search for another song /query
• add <num>
• vp
• save <playlist>
• Error! Additionally, song added with add <num> command is not saved

I was an mpsyt user, now trying yewtube. My old mpsyt playlists will play fine, but I cannot create new playlists due to this error.
