If a Livepush playlist is not updating on YouTube, first identify which list you mean: Livepush’s multi-video broadcast queue or a playlist on your YouTube channel. They have separate controls, and the public guidance reviewed does not establish that edits to a Livepush queue update a YouTube playlist or an existing live event.
If the stale item is in a YouTube channel playlist, edit that playlist in YouTube Studio or YouTube itself. If the problem is what a broadcast plays, check the Livepush queue, the selected YouTube destination and event, and the connection type; ask Livepush support whether queue edits affect an already scheduled or active event.
Identify which playlist is stale
“Playlist” can refer to more than one screen. Before changing settings, note where the expected video is missing: a YouTube channel playlist page, the content shown in a scheduled or active live event, or the sequence Livepush is broadcasting. The answer determines which product’s controls to use.
A useful first check is to open the relevant pages in separate tabs and compare what each one shows. In YouTube, look at the channel playlist itself and, separately, the live event in Live Control Room. In Livepush, inspect the multi-video playlist or broadcast configuration. A video appearing in one place does not establish that it is present in the other.
Write down the exact symptom before troubleshooting. For example: “The video is in the Livepush queue but not in my channel’s YouTube playlist,” or “The channel playlist is correct, but the live broadcast is still playing the previous sequence.” Those are different reports, even if both are described as a playlist not updating.
Also note whether the event is new, scheduled or already active, and whether Livepush is connected through a linked Google/YouTube account or a manual RTMP setup. These details help separate a playlist-membership issue from a destination or stream-delivery issue. They are especially useful if you need to ask support for a definitive answer.
The sources reviewed do not document a special playlist update rule for creators in India. The same diagnostic distinction applies whether you use YouTube Studio on a computer or the Android app. If your menus look different, record the device and app you are using rather than assuming a regional setting is responsible.
Livepush queue and YouTube playlist are separate controls
Livepush describes its multi-video playlist as a queue of uploaded videos that plays back-to-back as one continuous broadcast. A YouTube channel playlist is a collection managed on YouTube, with its own membership and ordering controls. Similar names do not mean that the lists are the same object.
That distinction matters because fixing the wrong list can make a confusing situation worse. Adding a video to a YouTube channel playlist changes its place in that YouTube collection; it does not, by itself, prove that the video was added to Livepush’s broadcast queue. Likewise, changing a Livepush queue is not evidence that YouTube channel playlist membership has changed.
The unresolved case is a Livepush queue edit after a YouTube live event has already been created. The public Livepush material reviewed explains the queue and separately documents destination setup, but does not settle whether an edit propagates to a scheduled event, an active event, only a later broadcast, or none of those. Do not treat an expected refresh delay as a documented fix.
If your goal is a particular order on the channel page, make and save that change in YouTube. If your goal is a particular sequence in the broadcast, inspect the Livepush queue and then verify what the live event is actually delivering. To understand how a separate playback workflow can work, see whether a YouTube livestream can play videos from a playlist automatically; do not assume that another product’s behaviour describes Livepush.
Edit a YouTube playlist in YouTube
For a channel playlist that is missing a video or has the wrong order, use YouTube’s own playlist controls. On a computer, YouTube Studio’s documented workflow lets you open Content, choose Playlists, and manage the intended playlist, including its details, order and videos. You can also use the video’s details to change its playlist membership. Start by checking the playlist title and channel, since the wrong collection can look like an edit that failed.
After you add or remove a video, save the change and reopen that specific playlist to verify its membership and order. If you manage more than one channel, confirm that Studio is showing the intended channel before editing. A saved change should be checked on the playlist page itself, not inferred from the video’s presence in a Livepush queue or a live event.
YouTube’s Android Studio guidance also covers adding or removing a video from a playlist: open Content, use the video’s options to edit playlist membership, then save. Menu labels and placement can vary by app version. If a control is not where you expect, switch to the computer workflow or consult YouTube’s current instructions rather than changing unrelated stream settings.
The key boundary is that this step repairs YouTube playlist membership, not broadcast playback. If the channel page is now correct but viewers still see the old content in a live stream, move on to the Livepush destination and event checks. YouTube’s playlist management instructions describe how to manage the YouTube collection; they do not document synchronization with Livepush’s queue.
For a looping video workflow, keep channel organisation separate from the delivery method. A video loop using FFmpeg and a YouTube stream key has its own source, encoder and event configuration. Playlist membership is not a substitute for confirming what the broadcast software is sending.
Check the Livepush destination and event
If the symptom concerns broadcast content or a missing live event, inspect the configured YouTube destination in Livepush. Its connected-account workflow asks you to link a Google/YouTube account, select a channel, choose or create a new live event, set its title, description and privacy, save the destination, and enable it. Check each item against the event you intend to use, rather than relying on a destination name that may be similar to another one.
Confirm that the correct YouTube channel was selected and that the destination is saved and switched on. Then check YouTube Live Control Room to see which event is scheduled or active. An event title that looks right is not enough if the selected channel or destination is wrong. Keep a note of the event status and destination type before making changes.
If the channel is not linked and you use manual RTMP, the pairing is more specific. Livepush’s manual guide describes creating or scheduling the YouTube Live event, copying that event’s RTMP stream key, entering it in the Livepush destination and saving. The guide says the manual setup is needed for each Live event when the channel is not linked. If the key belongs to another event or is no longer current, update the destination with the key for the intended event.
Avoid changing several pieces of configuration at once. First identify the intended event, then verify the account-linked destination or manual key, save, and check the resulting event in YouTube. If you are unsure whether a queue change should affect that event, leave the synchronization question open rather than assuming that repeating setup will make it happen.
A long-running channel may use different files or events for devotional programming, a local news loop or a study stream. Keep destination notes clear enough that you can tell which channel and event a queue was meant for. For a computer-based alternative, this guide to a spare Windows PC running a prerecorded stream overnight explains a different operating approach; it does not change how Livepush and YouTube playlists relate.
Livepush’s setup guidance also says a new YouTube channel may take up to 24 hours for live streaming to become enabled. Treat that as a live-streaming activation note, not a playlist refresh time or an explanation for a queue edit failing to appear. YouTube separately says channels must be verified and must not have live-streaming restrictions in the previous 90 days; those are eligibility conditions, not playlist troubleshooting steps.
Verify the broadcast connection
Only move to connection troubleshooting if the symptom is that the broadcast will not start, stops delivering, or shows an error, rather than a YouTube channel playlist having the wrong members. Playlist display and stream delivery are different problems. A network change is not a sensible first response to a video missing from a channel playlist.
For a delivery problem, check the error shown in YouTube Live Control Room and the stream’s reported metrics. YouTube’s guidance points creators to review the encoder version, output quality, source routing, encoder errors, CPU load and outbound internet connection. These checks help establish whether the live feed is reaching YouTube properly; they do not repair channel playlist membership.
For an error when starting a third-party encoder, YouTube directs creators to obtain a new stream key in Live Control Room and update the encoder. Apply that instruction only when the reported problem matches the connection or key, and make sure the key is paired with the intended event. YouTube’s live-stream troubleshooting guide sets out its connection checks and key guidance.
If you use a login-based third-party integration rather than manual RTMP, YouTube’s advice for integration problems is to contact the software provider. That makes Livepush support the appropriate place to raise a problem with the linked workflow or an unanswered queue-to-event question. If the stream reaches YouTube but plays an unexpected sequence, include that distinction in your report instead of describing it only as a failed connection.
A mini PC used for a dedicated 24/7 YouTube stream introduces local computer, power and network checks. Those may matter when you operate an encoder yourself, but do not assume they apply to a queue or destination issue in a different workflow. Diagnose the part that is actually failing before replacing equipment or changing network settings.
Ask support about queue synchronisation
The remaining question is narrow: when you edit a Livepush multi-video playlist, what happens to a particular YouTube event that already exists? The public documentation reviewed here does not confirm whether edits propagate to a scheduled event, an active event, a later broadcast, or not at all. Only Livepush support can give you a product-specific answer for your setup.
Send a concise report that identifies the queue and destination type, whether your YouTube account is linked or you use manual RTMP, and whether the event is new, scheduled or active. State what you changed and what you see in each product. If you can, include the channel name, event title, approximate time of the edit and a screenshot of the relevant screens, while keeping stream keys and account credentials private.
Ask the question in terms support can answer: “If I edit this multi-video queue now, does the change apply to this scheduled event, an active event, or only a future broadcast?” If support says the event must be recreated or reconfigured, ask which specific documented steps apply to your destination type before acting. Do not send a stream key in an ordinary support message unless the provider explicitly gives you a secure method for doing so.
For creators in India, time zone and device details can help support understand when the edit occurred and which interface you used. They do not establish a different synchronization rule. Keep the report factual: the relevant evidence is which screen changed, which did not, and the event’s status.
If you want to avoid testing on a live audience, ask support whether there is a safe way to verify the behaviour before changing an active event. Do not promise yourself that a delay will resolve the issue; the reviewed documents do not provide a queue synchronization interval. Once support clarifies the behaviour, record the answer alongside your channel’s event setup notes.

FAQ
Does changing a Livepush playlist update my YouTube channel playlist?
The reviewed documentation describes Livepush’s multi-video playlist as a broadcast queue and YouTube channel playlists as separately managed collections. It does not say that changing one automatically changes the other. Edit YouTube playlist membership in YouTube.
Will a Livepush queue edit update an existing YouTube live event?
The public material reviewed does not settle whether an edit applies to a scheduled event, an active event or only a future broadcast. Ask Livepush support with your destination type and event status. Do not rely on an assumed refresh delay.
What should I check if the broadcast is not starting?
Check the event and destination pairing, then inspect the error and stream metrics in YouTube Live Control Room. If YouTube reports a third-party encoder start error, its guidance is to get a new stream key and update the encoder. For login-based integration trouble, contact the software provider.
Is there a special playlist update rule for creators in India?
The sources reviewed do not establish an India-specific playlist or queue synchronization rule. Use the same distinction between YouTube playlist membership, Livepush’s queue and the live event, and note whether you are using a computer or Android app if the controls differ.
