Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/57

for videoId dyG_yptc7y8 I get the below error. Out of 10 songs I was just looking at, this was the only error (I am working around it by catching and IndexError and putting song_meta['production'] = 'No info' for this line)

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "ytmusic_manager.py", line 148, in <module>
    y.print_history()
  File "ytmusic_manager.py", line 84, in print_history
    song = self.get_song(entry)
  File "/Projects/ytmusic_manager/ytmusicapi/ytmusicapi/mixins/browsing.py", line 531, in get_song
    song_meta['production'] = [pub for pub in description[5].split('\n')]
IndexError: list index out of range

It seems both the keys production and release are missing for this video. I hope these are the only ones that are potentially missing, otherwise it may become hard to parse correctly (i.e. if items in the second or third line are missing randomly).
