Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/460

If i browse an artist having audiobooks those are not shown in the result. I thik they should be shown as albums.

Steps to reproduce the behavior:
(https://music.youtube.com/browse/MPADUCf2vTMnvFb8BsWTWauTZrow) <- example

If I execute yt.get_artist('UCyiY-0Af0O6emoI3YvCEDaA') I get two singles but no albums or playlist or anything else.

Thanks in advance
Niklas

I modified the arrays in parse_artist_contents like this:

categories = ['albums', 'singles', 'videos', 'playlists', 'related', audiobooks and shows']
categories_local = [_('albums'), _('singles'), _('videos'), ('playlists'), ('related'), _('audiobooks and shows')]
categories_parser = [parse_album, parse_single, parse_video,  arse_playlist, parse_related_artist, parse_playlist ]

Result looks good to me

That works for English only but needs to be localized to all supported languages

Should support two new categories for the artists page:

https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCf2vTMnvFb8BsWTWauTZrow

Shows and audiobooks - localized
Details page: new function get_artist_shows - this one's a bit strange still, the chip filter still shows "Albums" which are not shown when navigating there from "more" on the shows section. But when clicking on it both Albums and Shows appear. Seems they forgot a separate chip for Shows

https://music.youtube.com/channel/UCKPSmMfDsXTKrCZApukcJ7A

Latest episodes - localized
Details page: new function get_artist_episodes

Recently commented on another issue but was pointed here. When calling 'get_artist' for an artist with podcasts on their page, a KeyError is raised. For example, the first video on this page is marked as a podcast episode, for some unknown reason. Calling 'get_artist' with this artist ID results in a 'KeyError: 'watchEndpoint'' being raised. I do not know why this happens besides because of the podcast episode.

episodes and podcasts are supported in get_artist since 1.6.0.

Audiobooks support is still missing. I am renaming the issue accordingly
