Hi @sigma67, i guess ytube changed something again ..
running ... get_album(browseId=MPREb_a1kLPIgLhc6) returns the error below for the several last days, all other commands works just fine. (and my code didn't change for get_album)

It seems this is an issue with the new response format for albums. Apparently not everyone is getting the changed version of it. I added a fallback so it works either way.
