Youtube music podcast will not play in the sonos app

The sonos app will not play podcast from youtube music with the error unable to connect to youtube music. This combined with sonos limiting playlist to 500 songs, which has become less than the 500 max. Makes this "high-end" product seem like a downgrade to people who would love to access the full capability of their music streaming services. I have been on the phone with a level 2 technical suport dude for a hour now and he is dumb founded. When will these be addressed sonos?

Sonos isn’t, unfortunately, in charge of what data is presented by YouTube. They point to a server provided by YouTube, and gather the data presented by that server to show and play for you.

Sonos does have a time out on how long they’ll wait for data to fill out their ‘container’ to show you, which is likely the reason for 500 track limit. However, I believe that limit is enforced, again, by the YouTube server, since different streams seem to have different limits. 

Seems like your valid concerns should be addressed to YouTube (Google).
