YouTube Music playlist problem - only 100 songs?

I have a 17 device setup and have extensive 300+ song playlists on YouTube Music.

They're leftover from the days when Google Play Music worked flawlessly with direct casting to Sonos, pre lawsuit days.

Until recently everything worked fine, but today I noticed that the playlists are limited to top 100 songs, the rest do not show up!

I deleted the service, reauthorized it, only to run into the same issue.

Any advice of how to fix this?

    The Sonos Music API (SMAPI) allows each streaming company to set their own limit on the length of the  playlist, as it is defined on the streaming service’s server. Any ‘issues’ you may have with YouTube music probably need to be communicated directly to YouTube.

    I spoke with YouTube already and they’ve said they’ve extended the playlist to 999. The issue is on Sonos end.

      Same issue here. This is happening on both S1 and S2 app. Spoke to Sonos support with case # 05341635. They brushed it off as something on YT’s end. This is extremely frustrating. Now you can see all the playlist when you look at the queue but not on the main page. Why can’t Sonos and YT communicate on this and have it resolved. This is happening recently so obviously someone here has changed a setting.

        I just came up with a solution. Import your complete YT playlist into a Sonos Playlist and you are able to see all of the songs. I know it’s not the a final solution but it takes care of the issue.

        Um whoever you spoke to has no idea what they are talking about. Size limit is 100% determined by he music service, YTM in this case.

          Sonos, any solution?

           

          Thanks.

            Want to keep this thread alive as the issue persists.

             

            Is there a solution on the horizon?

             

            I have a $4000+ set up with limited functionality.

              What does YouTube say? They set these numbers on their own servers, they aren’t set by Sonos.

              YouTube is pointing finger at Sonos.

               

              I have a feeling that the whole issue is the ongoing lawsuits and their reversals.

               

              Sonos will not reach out to YouTube or Google to settle this issue as there are probably more underlying things at hand.

               

              What's concerning the most is lack of any official statement from Sonos. As far as YouTube is concerned, the playlists are full and fully existing on their end.

              I have the same issue, appeared around a month ago.  Sonos say it's YouTube, YouTube say it's Sonos.  The customer suffers.
