YouTube Music playlist - Unable to browse music

Hi there, 

When tapping into my "My Likes" YTM playlist in the S2 app on Android, I get a message "Unable to browse music."

This is a large playlist, and another large playlist in my library has the same problem. From Google searching, I've seen reports from about 2 years ago of the same issue, though it appears that it was resolved back then.

I've reinstalled the S2 app, and removed and re-added my YTM account. My sense is that this is caused by the 999 song limit in the YTM API.

This playlist worked fine up until very recently, and its been well over 999 songs for a long time. I'll guess that either something has changed on the YTM API side, or the approach Sonos is using to workaround that limit (perhaps fetching only 999 songs from large playlists) is no longer working.

I expect a response from Sonos might be that it's a YTM problem, and to contact them, but I do hope that Sonos engineers can take a close look at the Sonos side just to be sure.

Thanks for great products, 

Greg

    I have that Problem too. The Playlist is 700+ long. Very annoying!

     

    Edit: Found a work around if you long press on the playlist, you can start the Playlist over the menu that opens up. Hope that works for you too.

    Actually, I should ask... Is anyone else having this problem?

    Yes, just noticed it the other day. All of my large playlists cannot be browsed.  I hope they fix it soon, there are workarounds, but I have to grab an IOS device to go through Airplay. Very annoying.

        Same. Can't browse YouTube Music songs list nor Your Likes playlist. Both have had 999+ songs for years. First occurred ~2 years ago, disappeared after ~1 week, worked seemingly fine until last weekend, reoccurred now. Thank you @Deato for the workaround, works for me.

        Same here.  Started happening a day or so ago.

        Workaround does work, thanks @Deato , but hope Sonos finds a way to make this work again.

        I am having the same issue. I found that when you go to your library menu, it will display your likes folder and all of your play list floders. If you push and hold on your likes folder for a few secods, a display will pop-up  giving you the option to play your likes list. I hope this gets fixed soon.

          Thanks for that, it works for me as well.👍 My cynical side says software engineers must put these bugs in to keep themselves in a job. 😉😁

          Deato,

           

          thanks for that workaround...Sonos may never get this issue worked out, and they are unaware of the workaround. i just spent a hour on the phone with them (and an email to the CEO), so i will report this workaround to them which will hopefully get them a little closer to a fix…
