First, many thanks for this library!

I just discovered that albums with more than 200 songs only list the first 200 entries. (example)

The official webui also shows only the first 200 songs, but playback in the browser does continue, but the playlist is capped at 200.

The official YTM app does only show the first 200 songs of an album, too. But playback also continues and all songs are shown in the current playlist (not int he album though).

So, what can be done to fix this?

I suppose you can use get_watch_playlist in that case to get the full album? Since that API call is responsible for getting the watch playlist contents.

I tried to use get_watch_playlist like this

a=ytm.get_album("some_browse_id")
c=a["trackCount"] # this is the actual number of tracks >200, a["tracks"] is limited to 200
p=ytm.get_watch_playlist(playlistId=a["audioPlaylistId"], limit=c)

but this results in

When I set the parameter limit=100, the same error occurs. When I set limit=25 or leave it unset, I get 50 tracks in the returned structure.

FYI - passing the audioPlaylistId to youtube-dl causes it to download the playlist, but is limited to the first 100 entries.

Good catch, that's a bug. I didn't consider audio playlists as possible inputs for the playlistId parameter. Will fix soon.
