Get playlist items can not filter out tracks which are unable to be played

Get playlist items can not filter out tracks which are unable to be played

Plan: Premium

Country: NL

 

Device: all

 

My Question or Issue:

Whenever I fetch a users playlist tracks (https://developer.spotify.com/documentation/web-api/reference/get-playlists-tracks) there is no option to filter out the tracks which are unable to be played (greyed out in the Spotify interface)

Whenever I try to play this track via the API the playback stops and the official player itself will give me the notification as in the screenshot.

I also do not get any proper error response back from the API, just a "200" response that the track will be played



Edit: The track response I get back from the API is

Have you tried fields params?

&fields=items(added_by.id,track(preview_url).filter(preview_url.not_null()))

Thanks for your answer! Unfortunately, other tracks also do not have a preview URL but are able to be played so this will not be the correct filter I guess?
