Hi,

I'm using 0.14.1 and when I do (unauthenticated)

from ytmusicapi import YTMusic
ytmusic = YTMusic()
ytmusic.get_artist('UCbCrm_eTkVVRbwnR0cj-phQ')

I get

---------------------------------------------------------------------------

Good find, seems not every artist has shuffle/radio mixes

Which artist? The artist mentioned above should be fine.

Did you use the latest Github master with pip install git+https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi?

Try with this. artistId = "UCpZQNFrsFaC9bQgwcruLcwg". I have installed the latest. Even run this command before searching here.

Then pip install git+https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi doesn't update me to the latest.

Try adding -U switch, since version number has not changed yet.

No, it doesn't work. There should be some other workaround.

As I said, it works fine for me. Wait until the release of 0.14.2 or submit a PR if you can identify something else that's wrong
