Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/455

I call get_liked_songs for my Liked playlist. Playlist has 6055 songs, but i receive 5750 songs. Seems this is an issue.

Same problem when I use
ytmusic.get_playlist('LM', 100000)

IIRC 5k songs is the official limit of YTMusic playlists, so I'm not surprised there are oddities above that limit

But i dont receive 5000 as max, i receive 5750. Therefore i think issue isnt related to limit.

All I'm saying is: this is probably the cause of the unstable behavior. No idea why it's giving you more than 5k songs.

Either way, this is not really something we can fix here.

I think this could be related to songs that became unavailable.
I found for test 1 unavailable song and it wasnt returned to me via ytmusicapi.
But yt music app shows this song in list (as unavailable song but it is still in list). That means that their api returns all songs even for unavailable ones.

You could try to open the entire playlist on the web (keep scrolling down) and count the unavailable ones?

Although the function used for get_liked_songs is able to parse unavailable songs correctly, i.e. if you fetch a playlist with unavailable songs they show up in the result.
