Youtube Music Not Displaying Full Library

Hi folks,

New to the Sonos ecosystem so was looking forward to using the app with my Youtube Music account.

But i seem to be hitting upon an issue whereupon the Sonos app will only show me a small number of artists/songs/playlists from my Youtube Music Library.

For example, in the Artist section I can only access artists up to the letter I.

Songs/PlaylistsAlbums also only offer me a small selection from my Library.

Anyone come across this? Is there a fix?

Thanks for any help.

Hi @aferdia & @coombsb

Thanks for your assistance in this matter. We’re going to continue looking in to this issue, but in the meantime, I refer you to my earlier post for the workaround:

To work around this, you will be able to search for specific artists/albums/tracks, and get results from tracks uploaded to YTM specifically - you can also mark these as favourites and play them from My Sonos to avoid doing the search again.

Same here. This needs to get corrected. It used to work fine…

i have this problem, too. Although I have hundreds of artists and albums (and probably thousands of songs) in my actual YTM library, no categories from my YTM account on Sonos have more than 100 entries. With nine Sonos speakers in my house, I’m pretty much committed to Sonos. And You Tube Music Premium is my service of choice.
Cory P of Sonos has said here that “ ...it is the music service themselves that are responsible for the content shown in the Sonos app when viewing that service’s library,” which I believe, but it doesn’t say that YTM is responsible for what is not shown in their library of the Sonos app, i.e., the truncation of the lists. I’d be interested in hearing back from Cory on this point. I don’t want to waste time barking up the wrong tree. Thanks!

Any size limits on music item enumerators is entirely imposed by the music service (YTM in this case). I am not aware of any limit in any of the Sonos clients to the number of items from an enumerator other than 65535.

Generally enumerators are asked (by the Sonos app) for items in 200-item pages”. Its up to each service how many times these “pages” work. A service can also specify a custom “page-size” though I do not track which ones use this feature (as my own apps ignore this attribute).

I’m another example where the YouTube indexing stops after about 100 entries. I know I can search the rest but that is no solution. I’ve submitted a diagnostic ref 497085399. Is there any solution yet?

I’m also experiencing this issue. I found this on Google’s YTM support page https://support.google.com/youtubemusic/answer/9716522?hl=en, which seems to imply that YTM Premium is required to play one’s uploaded library on Sonos. I certainly hope I’m reading this wrong:

YouTube Music Premium members can also cast uploaded content or play it from smart speakers and Sonos.
