JSON Parse error for a playlist

[vijaysattigeri]

Hi,

The JSON parsing of response text fails for the following playlist:

https://www.jiosaavn.com/s/playlist/88063878238ad9a391a33c0e628d2b01/90s_Love/OykxHSA0YytFo9wdEAzFBA__

Usage: http://127.0.0.1:5000/playlist/?query=https://www.jiosaavn.com/s/playlist/88063878238ad9a391a33c0e628d2b01/90s_Love/OykxHSA0YytFo9wdEAzFBA__&lyrics=true

Bug:
Looks like the following data is causing the JSON parse error.
"lyrics_snippet":"कहो ना, "प्यार है," कहो ना, "प्यार है"",

Culprit code?

 jiosaavn.py:67,
 songs_json = response.text.encode().decode('unicode-escape')

Since we are doing "unicode_escape" we are losing the JSON delimiter.

Fix?
Can we just load the response data as it is and decode the value while displaying?
