Playlist creation failing silently

[duncan-bayne]

Firstly, thanks for spotify_to_ytmusic ❤️

I've used it successfully in the past, but I'm having an issue now. I've configured Spotify and Google via OAuth, and have run with:

$ spotify_to_ytmusic all user-foo

It seems to work, finding YouTube tracks, and creating playlists:

Playlist 2: Rory

However, I don't see any playlists in my library:

Any idea what I might be doing wrong?

What's your ytmusicapi version? pip show ytmusicapi

The playlist link looks pretty broken

This does not reproduce for me, You're probably in some kind of YouTube Music A/B test.

If the playlist creation succeeded it should show up in your web interface though. Do you have multiple Google or brand accounts perhaps?

I have the same issue. spotify_to_ytmusic liked works without a hitch, but spotify_to_ytmusic all user I get the same results as OP

[mueckinger]

same issue

Solved this issue by creating a channel for the account specified in youtube.

Go to the youtube app on your phone, bottom right ("You" tab) -> create channel underneath your name at the top.
After you confirm a few agreement messages, try again.

You need a channel before you create playlists on YT Music.
