I used firefox to copy the headers, also tried with chrome

Can you try with a smaller playlist? Or does the error only occur with the large playlist?

Most likely something is wrong with your headers, though.

[demesm]

Happens with any size playlist

[sigma67]

There is likely some invalid data in your headers. Can you post the keys of your headers_auth.json? (no need to send the values)

If you want you can also send me the file to ytmusicapi@gmail.com and I can try to figure it out for you

This is what ends up in the settings field after running Setup.py, I have split it for easier reading

Your headers_auth mostly seems correct (contains all necessary keys), but you truncated something at the end I think. That might be why it's not working

I removed all random stuff from in between for github, its unchanged when running it

So, I tracked it to the create_playlist() function using the console.

I went to do it manually in chrome to see what, if anything was missing - it turns out when you create your first playlist (I just swapped over to YTM), it prompts you to create a channel.

You have to have already done this to utilize the api, works fine after this :)
