Playlist Radio doesn't work #88

fr4nk2342 · 2021-04-19T08:05:34Z

Describe the bug
For testing purposes I created a playlist with only one track and only this one track will be played repeatedly. But shouldn’t an automatic playlist with similar tracks be played? At least that’s how it works on the YTM website.

Version
20210414

To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:

on the ytube website: create a playlist with only one entry
in homeassistant: use media_browser → playlists → start playlist
open development settings: display attributes of the media_player.ytube_music_player
copy playlist id from ‘_media_id’ attribute
call media_player.play_media with the same content_id from 4
media_content_type: channel,
entity_id: media_player.tube_music_player

YAML:

service: media_player.play_media
data:
  media_content_id: PLqekoEAOX6ZF6oJ8d3fzk3WpsbCz2M2fH
  media_content_type: channel
target:
  entity_id: media_player.ytube_music_player

or:

Select Playlist in dropdown
Source: Playlist Radio
Select Speaker
Start

hmm look legit to me .. does it work on the website?
get_playlist(playlistId=PLqekoEAOX6ZF6oJ8d3fzk3WpsbCz2M2fH)
pulls the correct playlist 'entries' .. the code tries to get a watch playlist based on that one video id
get_watch_playlist(videoId=j2rdAw82Uvk)
not sure why that only generates 1 track from the playlist

fr4nk2342 · 2021-04-19T09:27:09Z

Yes, it works on the YTM-Website

open Playlist
click three dots
Radio starten

also tried to reload playlists, with no luck:

service: ytube_music_player.call_method
data:
  entity_id: media_player.ytube_music_player
  command: reload_dropdowns

KoljaWindeler · 2021-04-19T09:27:50Z

funny, i can open that track (aura - avoure) and create a playlist, with only that one track.
After that I do the exact same thing that you've done .. start a radio .. works flawless .. same output that you have, but loads 25 tracks .. could you set you playlist to "public" ?

fr4nk2342 · 2021-04-19T09:36:22Z

Made the playlist public:
https://music.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLqekoEAOX6ZF6oJ8d3fzk3WpsbCz2M2fH

same result

ok ... so that's really strange, right?

KoljaWindeler · 2021-04-19T10:09:50Z

pinging @sigma67
Hey Sigma, any idea why the same code on two different accounts / machines generates either only 1 track or 25 tracks after calling get_watch_playlist(videoId=j2rdAw82Uvk)
Thanks, JKW

sigma67 · 2021-04-19T11:16:10Z

You know that you can use a playlistId as input for get_watch_playlist? Not sure why you're using a videoId here, maybe I'm missing something.

The correct way to shuffle a playlist is get_watch_playlist_shuffle(playlistId), if you want radio it's get_watch_playlist("RDAM" + playlistId)

KoljaWindeler · 2021-04-19T11:21:44Z

Jep, I know. I had an issue a longer time ago .. that's why I'm currently picking one song and create a watch list based on that one song.
Works flawlessly .. usually ;)

sigma67 · 2021-04-19T11:24:22Z

What issue did you have? It should work fine I think.

I get a watch playlist with a single track (as you mentioned) only if I use get_watch_playlist(playlistId=playlistId), with the single-track playlist you mentioned above. Note that I didn't add the RDAM part, which would produce the radio.

KoljaWindeler · 2021-04-19T11:27:20Z

why is get_watch_playlist(videoId=j2rdAw82Uvk) producing a 25 tracks long playlist for me and a 1 track long list for @fr4nk2342

thats the question in short

KoljaWindeler · 2021-04-19T11:34:08Z

and... although off topic, but what am I doing wrong here (thought I give the RDAM part a try):

sigma67 · 2021-04-19T14:19:56Z

It doesn't work with videoIds, if that's what you're trying?

I have no idea what could cause only a single track to be returned for get_watch_playlist with videoId parameter. I always get more than that, only if I use the playlistId I get a single track

KoljaWindeler · 2021-04-20T11:16:57Z

ah ok .. because the first parameter is actually the videoId and not the Playlist .. ok got it working .. this might also fix it for @fr4nk2342

but is still fails with the 'liked music' playlist .. So calling get_watch_playlist(playlistId="RDAMLM") results in the same error shown above. Is there any workaround? get_playlist("LM") followed by picking a random track and lastly generating the radio via get_watch_playlist(videoId="RDAM"+videoId_of_random_picked_song) works .. but is a bit chunky .,

I have no idea what could cause only a single track to be returned for get_watch_playlist with videoId parameter. I always get more than that, only if I use the playlistId I get a single track

yep, same here .. the code (as of now) would take one videoId and pass that to get_watch_playlist .. works fine .. for me

KoljaWindeler · 2021-04-20T11:24:07Z

ah .. found it myself .. for whatever reason the id for LM is RDAMPLLM not RDAMLM
@fr4nk2342 I'll release a new version with the modified Radio generation soon, please reopen this if the behavior is still the same

sigma67 · 2021-04-20T11:52:44Z

yep, same here .. the code (as of now) would take one videoId and pass that to get_watch_playlist .. works fine .. for me

That works but I'm pretty sure it's not the same thing semantically. Would be pretty disappointing if that's actually what's happening (since a playlist radio should be based on the entire playlist not just one track)

fr4nk2342 · 2021-04-20T13:05:33Z

I just want to confirm that everything works as expected. Thank you.

sigma67 · 2021-04-20T14:32:19Z

Sorry for not being specific enough with the RDAM part, as you noticed it's RDAMPL. It's also documented in the FAQ: https://ytmusicapi.readthedocs.io/en/latest/faq.html#how-can-i-get-the-radio-playlist-for-a-song-video-playlist-or-album

KoljaWindeler · 2021-04-20T14:41:33Z

Jep,

actually all playlist already start with "PL" but LM ... So I've added a little "if" that adds the PL to the LM ;)

non-sense ... you're right .. RDAMPL!

ragaimeena · 2021-05-21T01:21:28Z

I am haing the same issue. Everything is up to date
