IndexError: List Index out of Range

Hi All,
I am attempting to switch back to Android from iOS. As a result, I am trying to delete and re-sync my YouTube Music library (there are tons of metadata issues, duplicates and etc). When I attempt to run the script, this is the error I get (I have changed my username of course for OpSec Reasons):
Traceback (most recent call last):

what am I doing wrong? I will gladly buy a beer to help me fix this.
Thanks
Please help me out with the following bits of info:
- The command you're running
- The version of ytmusic-deleter you're running (type
ytmusic-deleter --version)
The command is ytmusic-deleter delete-all (delete-uploads also doesn't work)
I'm running version 1.5.2
If it helps, I am running Python 3.9, but this issue persists on 3.11 as well.
Yeah it's never usually a Python issue, it's almost always either an issue with a specific album or song, or it's an issue with Google changing how their API works and the rest of us constantly having to play catch-up.
Before I try to replicate it let me ask, does it seem to start deleting stuff and then fails partway into it? Or does this error appear as soon as you enter the command? Provide the full output if there's anything else that appears above this.
Honestly, I think they changed their API (again, smh).
It does not appear to delete things at all. This message will appear after the "Retrieving all uploaded albums..." status and no progress is made.
Example (from Python):
[2023-01-17 18:37:56] Looking for C:\Users\xxxxxx\headers_auth.json"
[2023-01-17 18:37:56] Found C:\Users\xxxxxx\headers_auth.json"
[2023-01-17 18:37:56] Retrieving all uploaded albums...
and then that's when the proceeding messages above appears after a very short time (~15-20 seconds)
I made sure it wasn't an authentication issue by deleting and re-creating the headers file multiple times (even with admin elevation).
It's happening for me as well, it's specific to delete-uploads. Not only does Google change their API but I have to keep up with changes to the ytmusicapi project that my tool depends on. Thanks for pointing it out. Probably a small code change, will fix ASAP.
Edit: Figure out the problem -- fix incoming in a few minutes...
I just published release 1.5.3 1.5.4 now which should fix the issue.
Update to it by running pip install --upgrade ytmusic-deleter
So I think it was happening because often when we upload stuff to YTMusic, it doesn't always assign an "Artist" like we think it should. So, coincidentally (but not that coincidentally) when I was testing it, I too had an uploaded album where there was no Artist. YTMusic is really bad at interpreting your .mp3 metadata and putting the correct artist on the album. So, my code was blowing up when it came across an album where the "artists" field was an empty list []. I updated it to address that.
Anyway, hopefully it works for you now. It's fixed for me.
Buying you a few beers. Thanks so much. Issue appears to be fixed!
Glad I could help. (btw if you bought me any beers, I didn't get them 😄)
