From your error message, it looks like that Spotify has added a new variant collectionyourepisodes for the Type Enum.

Would you like to give me the response of your request with web console, so I could write a test case for this issue?

This is the state returned when playing an episode from the "Your Episodes" playlist
(truncated some info for both privacy and brevity).

This problem has been fixed, you could give v0.11.7 a try.
