Original GitHub issue: https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/issues/5

a little issue at request body which is not default Latin-1 encoded.
add body = body.encode(encoding='utf-8') after line 453 of ytmusic.py could solve my problem.

Thanks for the report. It seems this is only the case when a string is passed to the requests parameter data, so the other functions using json are not affected.
