YouTube favorites and playlists I just purchased this player and so far, so good. My problem is that after I set up YouTube and linked my current account, I am able to only see about 12 favorites out of 90+. Same goes for my YouTube playlists.

Purusha -- What are you saying? You have actually had good luck resolving this issue with Sony? I have the same problem - only 12 of my 45 favorites show up. I have reset / powered down / restarted / swapped ethernet cabling / chatted with SONY -- you name it -- I have not gotten anywhere. This all became an issue when I accepted the Network upgrade 146. Prior to upgrading I was having a wonderful time with the player. The user interface is slow and cumbersome, but did work. I am now so upset and disgusted with this machine. I will call the number you list and give that a try in the morning. Purusha -- What are you saying? You have actually had good luck resolving this issue with Sony?

I saw this on the sony website, could this be the problem?It is possible that the YouTube playlist may not display all of the available videos on your device, as the playlist may be different on a computer. Every video has policy restrictions that may prevent playback in certain countries and on certain devices. For example, some videos with advertisement will not play on specific devices where ads cannot be displayed.I know for sure Hulu does this as not all videos from Hulu play on the device and only play on the computer but, Hulku does inform you of this.

its not an issue that you take up with youtube, you have to take it up with Sony who provides the content through the blue-ray - sonystyle: 1-877-865-7669

I notice that any Favorite that is marked as High Definition does not appear on the player. But there are others that don't appear either. I am seeing only 11 out of about 25 favorites. I'm trying to find an email to ask YouTube about this, but haven't been successful so far.

I am having this same difficulty and a few of my YouTube playlists are showing many videos, but most are not.

Yes, in my opinion the YouTube functionality is worthless. None of my subscriptions show up on the N460, and even when the playlists show "X videos", when you try to play them it says "no videos". If all you can do is type in searches with the remote control (painful) or look at the featured videos, why bother. I wanted the machine to unwind at the end of the day and watch content, not fight with another computer with a remote control for a keyboard. At least it does save the searches, but the results are not the same as you would get with a web browser. I read somewhere that content on youtube is tagged somehow that the N460 filters it out, what a crock. If I can watch it on my computer, why not this device?

I am dissapointed at the youtube browsing, one of the main reasons I bought it. i can only view my first 9 favorites out of 1000+. I LOVE the player and still give it 5 stars, but not being able to view your favorites is crazy. I suggest everyone write to them with the feedback to fix this in a firmware update, its do-able, they just need to get enough complaints on it.

Hi Cosmo - did you have any luck with Sony? When I called about 2 months ago there was no solution for the problem, which I thought was insane. There is a work-around that I discovered, and that is saving videos in a playlist which are browsable on the Sony player, so videos I want to watch on my TV I put in a playlist, but this gets annoying after awhile. If you had any luck getting this fixed please let us know!

I have about 1250 average length songs on my 16 Gb thumb drive and it is using about 5.5 Gb of memory. My guess is you would hit the 2,000 song limit at about 8 Gb.

I know I'm not helping here, but I wanted to commiserate. I bought this because TONS of reviews blatantly say that this works with Netflix, etc., but it doesn't for me. Except the Video app and the old YouTube app on my iPod Touch 3rdGen. I feel like I must be missing something, but now that I see YouTube plays fine, I'm more confused than ever. Disappointing! Anyone have any ideas what we're doing wrong here? Grrr.... Thanks!

No idea. I am still trying to figure out how to get some playlists on this thing.

Right now I have on one of mine, 13.9GB of total usable space (the other 2.1BG takes up the operating system). I currently have 4.35GB of free space left open. The other part is filled up with the following content: That includes 113 full albums averaging between 6 to 15 songs per album using 4.40GB of space and 59 music videos that is using 5.12GB of the storage space. The music videos are assorted sizes form 3.10MB to 177MB. I am always adding and removing songs and videos depending upon what style of music I'm into at the time. It's all drag and drop when you sync it to the player in your pc so moving things around is easy. I always try to leave at least 1 or more GB of free space open so that the music videos don't get jerky. I own more than one of these and it's really more about having not running out of battery before I can get back to recharge. Music uses a lot less battery, but the videos can wear down the battery pretty fast. These are small and very portable and I use them plugged into the car stereo for road trip music playlists and while waiting around in long lines, etc. at sci-fi conventions where it's not easy to get back to the room to recharge. Probably TMI but I hope this helps you in some way!

Hey Deanna, I purchased this item on Sept 9th, and I am still using it. I am happy to share with you my experiences thru which you will find the answers to your questions. Firstly, I would care to let you know why I purchased this item. I love to listen to my favorites musics on the go. I had used transmitters of the other so-called brands, and ended up using a tape adapter, but I was not satisfied because they died earlier. So, I purchased this device. Secondly, I tell you the good things about it. Whatever channel you choose, the transmission is 100% clear with no intercession with the others. The transmission goes widely to a point that another car can stick on your musics with no interruption. It reads everything mentioned, and even a flash drive. It plays alphabetically, so you can choose what music must be played first by naming the music with an A...or a number 1..2..3... I can't tell about the MP4, because I don't have any file in that format. Overall, I would just suggest that you give it try...and then...tell me whether or not my answer was reasonable to you. Thanks!

There are so many possibilities... do u have a good fast WiFi connection?.. is flash player installed?... have you got an account with amazon apps and allowed all the updates for YouTube?... have you read your user manual?...this tablet has about half GB of ram (memory) and you can't have too many apps running at the same time and expect it to do YouTube too. Did it ever play videos before?

The readme file isn't clear (at least to me) that this is about building on the fly playlists with just the mp3 player. The way I read it this is about building playlists without using WMP on your computer and then transferring them to the player...am I missing something?

Well, I have the Samsung BD-P3600 and love it. I conencted to my home server PC in about 5 minutes and instantly have access to 100s of my downloaded (torrent) Divx movies. Pretty sweet. Watching YouTube videos online is pretty addictive as well through the device, the Pandora radio also works slick.... I love the machine. They released a firmware a few weeks ago which I installed as soon as I bought my player (week ago) and have not had any problems at all. Maybe the new firmware fixed things?Each to his own, but for me the player works great and is super addictive with all the extra bells and whistles. Well, I have the Samsung BD-P3600 and love it.

Same thing here. I will be returning it and getting a new one as it was a gift bought from Amazon. I loved it while it worked!!! My husband has the same one and his is still going strong after 1 week! --Hope it lasts! After 2 days I had 240 songs in it for it to go down. Frustrating. Maybe a bad batch? Hope the new one is better.

Yes, the playlists would appear temporarily, but the next time I turned my SansaView on, the playlists would be empty. I tried all the help advice, talked to someone on the phone (what they suggested worked for a few minutes), and finally decided to do an online chat. Ultimately, she told me that they were aware of the problem and were working on it. I have checked daily for upgrades, but none has appeared as of yet. The only other problem I have noticed is an occasional song that is cut off.

Not very well, so far. It has failed to include my playlists which hold several hundred tunes each. It would take days to manually rebuild them on the Squeezecenter software. if anyone knows how to remedy this i would be gartefull for the info.

Actually there is a limit. From page 63 of the user's manual "This unit can recognize a total of 9999 (a maximum of 999 files per folder)." Although my entire mp3 collection tops out at around 7500 folders & around 375gb. Appreciate the response though. I'm upset they couldn't have done something about the file limit on last year's models, as it was the same for 3 model years.

Hi Jim,Sorry for the confusion!Let me try again.When one executes the "Delete My Favorites" (or something spelled like that) command on 265wt, the unit will display all saved favorites in alphabetical order. One can then navigate one's favorite list that way. Deleting a favorite will take at least one or two more "clicks".Hope this clarified it!

Well the New YouTube App for Android is pretty bad so i didn't upgrade. My wife did and its pretty awful, its slow and it sometime crashes (the old app have none of these issues). My browser was a little to slow for my taste as well so i downloaded the Dolphin browser on Google Play and it seems to be working fine so far. I'd recommend doing the same thing.

I have three Sony Internet players in the house, and a 50 mbs internet connection. Generally it works well, although I did move the player at the far end of the basement onto a wired connection. Occasionally I still have an issue with the responsiveness of youtube videos, but as far as I can tell it is an issue with their streaming server or local ISP congestion, not with the player.

Sorry, I have used the player just a couple of times and think it starts where I stopped it. Not tech savvy enough to experiment either .And then remember what I did !
