Hi. I'm using the yTube Music Player integration for home assistant. When using the api to try browse my Albums I get the error below. I can browse all other items (playlists, history etc). The author of that integration ( @KoljaWindeler ) suggested that I log an issue here. Please see the error message below:

Calling https://ytmusicapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/reference.html#ytmusicapi.YTMusic.get_library_albums results in the following error

It seems there is an issue with a specific album. Could you check your library to see if there is any album that is missing the year? Could you link it here?

FYI, I don't see the error and I don't have albums without year .. I know .. kind of obvious ..

Found an album without a year

https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_kRmBpXs5-Yc7m3r-1zHzASvDhgug_mfg8

and if I remove it from my Library browsing works again.
