Describe the bug

When I put this ID / URL (OLAK5uy_meaM_pcONkasoKJ8HZsOQpGlMiXQiIDuM) into the "Add Video/Playlist/Channel" field, I get an error message in the Network Tab of the Dev tools saying "failed to parse".

Steps To Reproduce

Copy the URL / ID from above into the "Add Video" text field and click download

Expected behavior

The ID should not be treated as invalid

Relevant log output

not a valid id_str: OLAK5uy_meaM_pcONkasoKJ8HZsOQpGlMiXQiIDuM

failed to parse: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_meaM_pcONkasoKJ8HZsOQpGlMiXQiIDuM

Anything else?

Maybe the IDs got longer?

The docs cover how this project defines playlists:
https://docs.tubearchivist.com/urls/#playlist

Looks like the link you provided isn't really a playlist on YouTube, but an album. E.g. these are playlists and implemented in this project:
https://www.youtube.com/@Thenewtonbros/playlists

and these are Releases/Albums and not currently implemented:
https://www.youtube.com/@Thenewtonbros/releases

Is the only difference just the playlist ID length? Are all album playlists 41 characters long?

I can check more albums:

https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=OLAK5uy_meWCZNCwRQt6bo4PH7UXG9wHIwCcQwtNI

(All length of 41)

So yea, these seem to be 41 characters long
