Hi!
Same problem here. Is there any update? Thanks

Youtube changed enough things on their page, that the original code does not work. Sorry about that. It has not been on my list of things to fix recently, I took a look at it a couple of months ago, but did not have time to fix it then.

Hi, I looked at updating the program, but Youtube dynamically creates the playlists page and it is not scrapable with the approach I used before. The simplest way to get the same result would be to use the Google API, I have started working on that. To do scrapping you would need to use something like Selenium which is a 'headless browser', see this article: https://www.scrapingbee.com/blog/selenium-python/
