I confirm that I have read the FAQ

Describe the bug

"Playlists" search returns an "itemCount", but it's just views, not the actual item (song) count in the playlist. It's just misleading, nothing serious but good to report. (I don't know if it's just YTM returns it that way).

Also just noticed, it sometimes returns as Integer, and sometimes returns as String.

ytmusicapi version

1.11.5

To Reproduce

Steps to reproduce the behavior:

Just make a search and give it 'filter="playlists"'
