Hey guys,

noobie here on my second month learning python and first time creating an issue on GitHub...
Somehow I get this error when trying to add items to a playlist:

TypeError: add_playlist_items() missing 1 required positional argument: 'videoIds'

My highly complicated code:

playlistid = 'PLUenIw9z1qHoO7Zx7t-ypSG0Q6MzoGRYH'
videoids = ["38YpUIcSaks","nYq18j1pd1g"]
YTMusic.add_playlist_items(playlistid, videoids)

The auth works fine as I was able to create a playlist with code.
Thanks!

Did you create an instance of YTMusic()?

@sigma67 Yes, I have the json authentification all set and working as I was able to create a playlist in my YouTube music account.

Then your code should work as you posted it above.

Please continue this discussion on gitter as it's clearly not an issue with the API:
