Provide a description that is worded well enough to be understood

You can not longer get a list of all the playlists in your library.
It used to work with cookies and youtube.com/feed/library.
Tried /feed/playlists and that doesn't work either.
Doesn't work with latest git or latest Arch package.

Provide verbose output that clearly demonstrates the problem

• Run your yt-dlp command with -vU flag added (yt-dlp -vU <your command line>)
• If using API, add 'verbose': True to YoutubeDL params instead
• Copy the WHOLE output (starting with [debug] Command-line config) and insert it below

The command in the provided log is working as expected as it is returning the sub-playlists correctly.

Tried /feed/playlists and that doesn't work either.

This is the real issue
