📄 Description

YouTube Music now returns singleColumnBrowseResultsRenderer instead of twoColumnBrowseResultsRenderer for some users/endpoints (likely A/B testing).This caused KeyError exceptions in get_playlist(), get_liked_songs(), get_album(), and podcast-related functions.## Changes- navigation.py: Added get_browse_renderer() helper function- mixins/playlists.py: Updated get_playlist() to handle both formats- parsers/playlists.py: Updated parse_playlist_header() and parse_audio_playlist()- parsers/albums.py: Updated parse_album_header_2024()- mixins/browsing.py: Updated get_album()- mixins/podcasts.py: Updated get_podcast(), get_episode(), and get_episodes_playlist()## FixThe fix adds fallback logic to try twoColumnBrowseResultsRenderer first, then singleColumnBrowseResultsRenderer if the former is not present in the API response.Closes #616
