get_podcast_playlist
Hello, first of all, thank you for your work on this API. It's very much appreciated!
I am running into an issue that I'm not sure is PIBKAC, a bug, or a use case that just isn't valid. My oauth.json looks valid. I followed the steps in the documentation to generate it.
Here is my code, via a Python 3.11 interpreter, which is fairly simple:
from ytmusicapi import YTMusic
ytmusic = YTMusic("oauth.json")
# Get latest podcasts from playlist
podcasts = ytmusic.get_playlist(playlistId='RDPN', limit=100, related=False, suggestions_limit=0)
# List each podcast
for podcast in podcasts['tracks']:
print(podcast['title'])
I retrieved the playlistId in the following steps:
- Log into YouTube Music
- Navigate to https://music.youtube.com/library/podcasts
- Click on "New Episodes"
- Get redirected to https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=RDPN
- Copy the playlist ID of RDPN.
The error I'm receiving when I execute the script:
Traceback (most recent call last):

I've checked the documentation and as far as I can tell, this should work. Am I missing something that is obvious?
this is not supported yet, see also #415
I assume you have subscribed to some podcasts? I'm not seeing this playlist in my podcasts library

Oh, yes, my apologies. I should have thought to add that to my steps to replicate. I am subscribed to a couple dozen podcasts, and also I'm a YouTube Premium subscriber. I'm not sure if that makes a difference.
So, when I subscribe to podcasts and then click on Library, I have an "auto-playlist" that is generated by YouTube called "New Episodes" that is automatically populated with the last 100 episodes of my subscriptions.
When I click on the button for that playlist, I am redirected to: https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=RDPN
I would expect that if I'm using an authorized account, I should be able to retrieve the items from that playlist via YTMusic.get_playlist.
The interesting thing that I've just discovered is that if I use the playlist ID "LM" for the "Liked Music" auto-generated playlist, the code functions perfectly. So the payload for "RDPN" must differ enough to warrant a YTMusic.get_podcast_playlist function, which is odd. I'm not sure why that would be the case. Podcasts and Music typically carry the same kinds of metadata.
I just added the first podcast from your screenshot and the RDPN playlist showed up immediately.
It seems it's a mix of the playlist view and the podcast view, so it'll require a new endpoint
