🐛 Continuation for browse method not working

[1Mr-Newton]

Maybe I'm doing it wrongly, I tried the client.browse method to get a channel's videos, it returned the first 30 videos, then I used the continuation argument and passed the continuation token from the first response to get the next maybe 30 videos, but still returned the same first response. I passed the params argument too.(to first navigate to the channel videos page)
Can you please provide an example on this?
Also, what does the index parameter for the .next method do? I tried to go through the codebase but couldn't understand.

Hi @1Mr-Newton, apologies for the late reply - I'll look into this for you now

So if I remember correctly, the index parameter for the next() endpoint is used to tell YouTube that you're playing a video at a specific index in a playlist. For example, if you navigate to a playlist, for example https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL1vLrQQudDhZtZVuTSpQIfNCvjiFuY37U, then click the second video in the list, a request is sent off to next() with an index of 1 (as it's zero-based).

However in the process of testing this, it appears that YouTube has now renamed this parameter to playlistIndex!

Ok so there were a couple of things YouTube has changed recently that were affecting this from working properly with newer clients. I've bumped the client versions for YouTube Web (WEB) and YouTube Music Web (WEB_REMIX) and have fixed those issues (#50 and #53).

I've created an example script here - https://github.com/tombulled/innertube/blob/22d1166c179db34faba7d00ee20d91042d8cfd2c/examples/list-channel-videos.py - that demonstrates how to list videos for a channel by using the .browse() method and the continuation token used to continue the data.

The example script is not very defensive in design, however hopefully it helps provide a bit of a steer!

I've released innertube version 2.1.9 to PyPI with the above fixes in :)
