Hi,
as written in the title, I cannot manage to access my uploaded songs from ytmusicapi.
In my account, that was fresh created some days ago (so no Google Play Music old stuff), there are 9 songs uploaded from my PC, coming from an album that really exists (and that I legally own since I bought the digital copy)... but that for some reason is not present in the YouTube Music catalog.
When I try to access the songs from Mopidy (with the Mopidy-YTMusic plugin, that I'm quite sure is not the problem, but I'm reporting for sake of clearness), a 400 Bad Request error is returned, with the only explanation - in the response body - that "Request contains an invalid argument".
During my various attempts to solve the problem, I also faced the same error when trying to go to the album's artist screen on YouTube Music and recording the network traffic by Inspect Element, but when I invalidated the cache and reconnected to YTM (on my browser I have like three Google accounts linked) the issue went away... on the browser.
When calling the API, instead, there is no hope that the API call gives a 200 OK. The same request, now, even when called via cURL after that I recorded it again by Inspect Element, is successful... but with the API I have no success.

Feel free to ask any question you want or to request any detail you might think is needed to troubleshoot the problem.

Thanks,
Silvio

This is most likely an issue with your headers. I suggest redoing the setup procedure in Mopidy to create a new set of headers. The ytmusicapi call is working fine, as I just verified. If you're still having issue, please raise an issue with the project you're using (Mopidy).
