My local solution is to add a continue to my iteration when removing tracks from a playlist where 'videoId' and 'setVideoId' == None.

Example:

if (tracks[x]['videoId'] == None) or (tracks[x]['setVideoId'] == None):
    continue

Here is a sample album with a couple of tracks that were removed.

I'd say this is working as intended, but I think we can do better than that. My proposed solution would be to remove all items from the list which are missing either videoId or setVideoId, before sending the request. This would replace the following lines:

github.com/sigma67/ytmusicapi@bdbaada36a/ytmusicapi/mixins/playlists.py (L254-L256)

Would this fix your issue?
