No way to get all videos from user

The data returned by get_user() contains some, but not all of the user's videos. The documentation for get_user() does not explain how to get the rest.

Attempting to use get_playlist() with the videos browseId results in the following error:

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "<stdin>", line 1, in <module>
  File "/home/zee/.local/lib/python3.12/site-packages/ytmusicapi/mixins/playlists.py", line 108, in get_playlist
    response = self._send_request(endpoint, body)
               ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

    raise Exception(message + error)
Exception: Server returned HTTP 404: Not Found.
Requested entity was not found.

(This browseId is the same as the user's - not sure if this is intentional or a bug.)

With get_user('UCus8EVJ7Oc9zINhs-fg8l1Q') I got the following:

"params": "6gPiAUdxWUJXcFlCQ3BNQkNpUjVkRjl3WVdkbFgzTnVZWEJ6YUc5MFgyMTFjMmxqWDNCaFoyVmZjbVZuYVc5dVlXd1NIMmQ2WWpkRlREUk1WemRCVlhkTFEzcEJiVU5RYzNKbGFrRTVZa05FUW1zYVNnQUFaVzRBQVZCTUFBRlFUQUFCQUVaRmJYVnphV05mWkdWMFlXbHNYMkZ5ZEdsemRBQUJBVU1BQUFFQUFBRUJBRlZEZFhNNFJWWktOMDlqT1hwSlRtaHpMV1puT0d3eFVRQUI4dHF6cWdvSFFBQklBRkNPQVE%3D",

This is from user['videos'], not user['playlists'] - there is no params in playlists.

I then did this:

get_user_playlists('UCus8EVJ7Oc9zINhs-fg8l1Q', '6gPiAUdxWUJXcFlCQ3BNQkNpUjVkRjl3WVdkbFgzTnVZWEJ6YUc5MFgyMTFjMmxqWDNCaFoyVmZjbVZuYVc5dVlXd1NIMmQ2WWpkRlREUk1WemRCVlhkTFEzcEJiVU5RYzNKbGFrRTVZa05FUW1zYVNnQUFaVzRBQVZCTUFBRlFUQUFCQUVaRmJYVnphV05mWkdWMFlXbHNYMkZ5ZEdsemRBQUJBVU1BQUFFQUFBRUJBRlZEZFhNNFJWWktOMDlqT1hwSlRtaHpMV1puT0d3eFVRQUI4dHF6cWdvSFFBQklBRkNPQVE%3D')

And got nothing as a result:

I'm not sure what you're doing but the information you provide is incomplete and not reproducible

The user you provided only has 4 playlists, so it won't have any params and you can't use get_user_playlists on it.

Then how am I supposed to get all of that user's videos?

Ah, I see now. It seems an endpoint get_user_videos is missing. Strange no one has asked for it all this time.

PR welcome
