The output from get_playlist does not include a setVideoId for tracks entries which are unplayable (making it impossible to remove them from the playlist).

I haven't actually tried modifying the library yet (I'm basically learning Python just for this project), but looking at the dev tools output of browsing a playlist in the browser, the setVideoId definitely exists for these entries.

Looking at the code, I believe that https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/blob/master/ytmusicapi/parsers/playlists.py#L24-L29 needs to be moved outside the if on line 20 ( https://github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi/blob/master/ytmusicapi/parsers/playlists.py#L20 )

Thanks for this library.
